I just remembered that what got me back into coins after my college days was buying an unc. 50-D for $8.50 at a coin shop in Jackson, MS, which I...
In my experience with early PCI green label grades, they were either spot on or a bit conservative. I've had coins graded by early PCI crossover...
Would the 1928-S benefit from conservation and certification at NCS and NGC?
Back in the late 50s, early 60s, circulated 50-Ds were easy enough to find in large quantities of circulated nickels--if you lived in the right...
Unfortunately, I saw the reveal before making my guesses, which were going to be 64, 64, 65.
I don't have any experience with them. I just got the info from Google.

I lack only one coin or two depending on PCGS category. Can you guess which ones I lack? The toughest one to find in a grade I could afford?
Back in 2019, I was at the World's Fair of Money, saw a couple of nice SLQs in a dealer's case, and decided to trade some coins I had brought to...
I used to collect stamps and for many years kept up with new U.S. issues. At some point, I realized that I was only getting the U.S. and U.N....
Buffs were quite common when I was a kid, but that was in the early to mid 50s. Looking through sacks of nickels, I saved rolls of 38-Ds, as I...
