I would definitely say that the Mr. Shippee caught a good wave! He also held most of his coins for a long time - and most of them were coins that...
It has to be fun and interesting or it's probably better to put your money somewhere else - but it is a diversification strategy - and you...
I certainly agree with what everyone has said, but I do have a personal theory/strategy for some of my coin purchases. Always one to measure...
Ah, but what about the $20? The upper line in the bottom loop of the three is in the same place on both issues - but, the shape of it is...
Well - maybe. Here's another diagnostic picture from a different $10 (this picture is attributed to NGC, the first one was PCGS - the double eagle...
Wow - only one line, but it's in exactly the same position as the top line on the $20. Can't be a coincidence - and if they are both re-cut...
That's an interesting coin. Excellent!
Interesting - other 53/2 overdates? Can you suggest some? I'd like to see what they look like. I've tried some primitive overlays myself. It...
I see in Doug Winter's blog that there is controversy over the status of this Type 1 Double Eagle variety - as noted by NGC and PCGS now...
And a better picture of the 1806 half (didn't CAC - maybe because of the dings?) I might try taking it in again - in person: [ATTACH]
Interesting thought - here's a different, more recent pic of the capped bust - to me, the coin looks more original than in the first picture I...
Looking for original surfaces - maybe these two? [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Given how difficult it is to get a CAC sticker on an AU50, maybe AU53 is the new 50? The one I posted here yesterday is a CAC'ed 45.
I don't get the question?
Well, what happened? What did they grade? Here's one I have on approval right now. Wanna guess the grade and explain the toning around Liberty's...
I obtained an 1840 Charlotte half-eagle a while back and it got me doing some research on 1840 coins. Many of the coins minted that year are...
For your perusal and critique. This is one I own. It's graded XF45 PCGS. Nothing terribly special about it, no beautiful toning or anything,...
IMHO it was ugly to start with and still is - although I prefer the look of the dipped version - that said, the before and after dipping pictures...
Excellent photo detective work! Definitely tree stands! And so cool to see them just planted and again when they are grown! Note that if you...
It's X Colonel Green and Eric P Newman. So if it's ever been dipped it would certainly be prior to 1936. Yep I would fight you for it :-). One of...
