Great response man. Just like I am not jealous of what others have, I do not feel any superior to other collectors. We are all here to learn about...
I have to admit something........I looked at your title to the thread a number of times and never "got" it. I kept thinking "proof Uncirculated"?...
Your picture sir of the "original" versus "upgrade" half cent and 3 cent pieces. I was simply saying I thought the ones on the left were more...
Maybe I am weird, but I much prefer the "original" coins sir. Maybe I am the only one.
Yeah, I have had the misfortune of emptying a few of these, with unfortunate results over the years. Only one looks too dark. Put them all in...
Price of all sorts of assets, like stocks, bitcoins, houses, etc are soaring due to loose money around the world. Money is not worth much in terms...
Mine was a VG WL half dollar my mom had in an old plastic "bank" under her bed. I quickly figured out how to burglar it so I could see this coin...
I would probably not be at summer FUN, but maybe the winter one. Not that I am an expert in most series, just been around a while now. Forums are...

Life is too short to worry about stuff like that man. He had it listed, he misplaced it. If he truly didn't want to sell it why would he have...
Good to know sir. Thank you.
Wow, wonder how I missed this thread. Very interesting. I never knew Vahran V was technically Jewish. I did know he reclaimed his father and...
I agree with all posts here. OP, please start your coin collecting by going to reputable sites like CNG, VCoins, VAuctions. Numisbids is a website...
A 38 D in a junk silver find is always a sweet bonus. That date has been considered scarce basically since it was minted, so it has never been...
Like I said, find a dealer with good sales of fractionals and s/he may very well pay you more for them. Go to a regular dealer, he will worry if...
Well stated. I find I learn the most from those who know and admit they have fakes. Everyone in ancients just need to accept its impossible to...
