OK, here goes: 1. G-4 2. F-12 3. VF-20 4. MS-65 (tough to judge luster from photo)
Congrats, pog. What did you win???
I thought the Walker was VF-20. I know early year Walkers are graded differently (i.e. skirt lines are weak), but it appeared the breast plate...
Yesterday, I read a very interesting thread in Coin World about the PCGS/Dave Hall/Hibernia Norweb bru-ha-ha. At the end of the thread there was...
Great Idea, ND. As far as grading services are concerned, I think NGC, PCGS, and ANACS have benefited the coin market tremendously, in terms of...

Thanks for your post, GDJMSP. Actually, I am more comfortable now with the grading system than ever before. I have been collecting coins...

I just ordered some supplies from Brent-Krueger (www.brent-krueger.com) group which has a link attached to this forum at the bottom of the page....
It will be interesting to see how the secondary market plays out for the sets with the hand-made pouches. I can see why the cost up front is high...
Holy cow!!! I wonder what that person wasted on the listing fee!!! That coin is worth 10 cents if you overlook the spots. Ebay should not have...
If I recall correctly, the mint sells 25-coin rolls for $35.50. If you can find them at a bank, the price is $25 (of course).
If you want to, post links to the ebay listings you won, then the forum can comment based on the pics.
Does anyone ever "sell the slab"? I would like to find those type of sellers so I could cherry pick premium quality slabs from them.
They would become more valuable. :D
