I use the Best Offer feature unless it is a coin I think is underpriced and I'm afraid a knowledgeable buyer will buy it before I do. Ordinarily...
I am probably on the side of a coming economic meltdown and failure of central banks and while that drives me, in part, to collect, I like it...
Are you saying the "midpoint" is where the price of silver is not high enough where you are willing to sell your silver, nor low enough that you...
The price of unopened rolls (25 coins) is cheaper per coin than the price of single Superman coins, so an argument can be made that they are worth...
There is agreement between you two that the coin is not worth slabbing. Paddy54 suggested having the coin attributed, which I agree with, after...
When I buy coins I am as solid as the rock of Gibraltar, but after a few glasses of Chianti, I'm like a kid at the candy counter.
That is an understatement. I think seasoned collectors who are not expert on early copper could be fooled as well, especially if buying online...
These cheaper coins are worth counterfeiting because of the United Nations, Universal Postal Union (UPU). Under the UPU, postal rates are set so...
Obverse and reverse die clashing on the 1865 Indian. 1863 is just a nice, original piece IMO. Not sure why but the way I attached the files you...
This is important to know and it is why I don't pay premiums for shield nickels with these features. They are fun to collect though.
This doesn't get said enough so, as a collector who prefers raw coins, I'm repeating it. $20,000 looks like fishing but according to Coin World,...
AU 55, weak strike; color seems off to me (cleaned); die cracks, etc., are not rare for these nickel coins but this one has a lot going on. Good...
The obverse is similar to the 1878 P VAM 83: the nostril was polished causing an opening in the nostril; the 1 in the date is higher and doubled,...
It's a good thing there are smarter people than me on this thread, which corrected what I said. I guess if you want to keep the coin in the GSA...
Are you saying you can no longer get the "PCGS Standard GSA label" affixed to the GSA box, without the PCGS plastic holder?
The date on coin 5 and 7 looked suspicious to me.
Coins 5 and 7 look fake to me.
Maybe so but this is a great idea and good practice. I'm working through these now to see if I can understand the difference between genuine and fake.
I believe you have the option to have the GSA coin in the GSA holder encapsulated or you notate "PCGS Standard GSA label" on your submission form....
I accept that GSAs saying Uncirculated may not have been. The hard plastic holders would say "Circulated" or "Uncirculated." Did the 1893 cc...
