Thanks for the comprehensive answer. I don't see anything nefarious about such data transfers. I think such rapid sharing of market price point...
Not that I have a beef or anything, but I noticed something last month and made we wonder about it. I won a Heritage auction for a coin and...
I use a number of sources for deciding what I think a coin is "worth" in the market. And what I use and how much weight I give to the various...
Interesting: My Red Book lists four known examples of the 1853-O without arrows and rays. This coin is a six figure item. The 1853-O with rays...
I like the coin. I like all the Spiked Chin varieties. But I think your auto focus decided it was taking a picture of the slab obverse and not...
I love my Tompkins book on the Early Quarters, but I don't collect those series except by type so it's more artwork than reference for me. As for...
For the Capped Bust Half Dimes (1829-1837), I use the Logan-McCloskey book published in 1998, supplemented by a website of more recent vintage:...

Nice coin. I'd like to have that one.
Every major auction house (Heritage, Legend, Stacks, Great Collections, etc.) has a set of terms and conditions for buying and selling that is...
Are there any parallels with coin collecting that we could use as indicators that our hobby faces some of the same headwinds?
I went to the CAC website and clicked the "Pop/Price Report" button, selected "Capped Bust Half Dimes" and then selected the button labeled...
I don't speak authoritatively by any means, but I believe it is the same for circulated coins as it is for MS coins: To merit a gold bean, the...
I've never been a stamp collector but the appeal, I imagine, is much like that of coin collecting: history, artistry, economics, etc. So, with...
I think that A and B coins get green beans. Respectively, a B coin is "solid for the grade" and an A coin is "premium quality for the grade"....
