I joined ebid years ago but never really did anything with it. I'd completely forgotten about them until I received an email a few days ago. I'm...
They don't have a lot of value, typically. The color of yours seems off but it's hard to tell from the pics. Usually the coin is a darker color...
Nope, I don't believe they do. I heard yesterday that NGC just graded an 84-cc GSA in the black holder as a 68. Wow that's a pricey coin, and I...
I agree. If the coins were taken from the mint without permission, they're still mint property. Apparently the gov never could produce PROOF of...
The showcases, safes, etc but no inventory. The real value in a coin shop is it's history and reputation. Most people interested in opening a...
Neat stuff. DON'T take it to a pawn shop, you need a coin shop...preferably a visit to several of them.
The pcgs price guide is a waste of time and pixels. Very unrealistic pricing, as coins can easily be purchased for way less than their posted...
I hope everyone is doing good. I've been away for a few years but am going to make an honest effort at visiting more regularly. I sold one of my...
You're going to have to invest some time, here. The quickest path is to sell locally. Ebay is cumbersome, time-consuming and aggravating, not to...
As a merchant on and off ebay, I'm not offended when someone makes an offer, particularly on a coin that didn't sell while listed. I think it's...
I've had a lot of "details" coins come and go and honestly I try to avoid them, since problem coins are always a tough sell. How much it's...
I miss the days when I could be a regular poster, here. I hope to start to hang out here a little more often. Hope y'all are well. Drop me a...
Hey all. Thanks to Derek (dbcoinman) for posting the pic of our newp. The old German Thaler shows John baptizing Jesus, and is pretty cool. The...
Figuring melt value doesn't have a lot to do with what dealers pay for stuff. Often, 90% silver coins can be purchased for LESS than the melt...
Any decent seller would be understanding of a post office screwup and would be flexible about return time. I know I would be, as long as the...
There are exceptions. Every year or two we get several hundred pounds of mutilated coins. Banks won't take mutilated (knowlingly) and most of...
I can share my experience with the silver one pound pieces. It should be simpler than it is but the bottom line is that scammers will always...
Nice token...not sure I've seen that one before.
Baltimore is an awesome show. I did it for a long time but just dropped it from my schedule. It's the biggest commercial coin show in the...
I don't think this is a genuine error. This is post-mint damage, sorry. Nick
