It's nice to see folks getting out and about again.
Good on ya, mate!
I see on the listing that it hammered at $48.09. Were you the winner? And what was the coin, dime or half-dime?
Coin shown (dime) is about EF-40. But all the text in the listing says half-dime. The 1858-O half dime in EF-40 is listed in Greysheet at $60....
Thanks. I hope you appreciate how humble I am.
I don't know the answer to this. Let's say you buy a slabbed coin with a genuine slab but the coin inside is fake. If it's certain that the TPG...
I mostly use the Leuchtturm holders. I get the 3-ring binder pages from places like Wizard Coin Supply.
I think the answer to your question largely depends on how much you intend to spend. You could fill a Dansco 7070 with mid to low-grade specimens...
Could you post a better-focused picture of the date. I'd be interested to not what it's struck over. As to your Dansco dilemma: Why not start a...
I promised I would update you when I got this coin in hand. So, I've been photographing this coin and analyzing it today. My photos below....
I'd call it F-15 to VF-20 for sharpness. But it is corroded so if you had it graded it would be a Details coin. I would call EAC Net Grade...
It's the retail trade. Every customer-facing business has to deal with the public for the good, the bad and the indifferent. I have seen coin...
I'm very upset this dog got a 65 so I probably won't bid on it.
Well, I haven't bought anything in a LCS in a couple of years but when I buy off the bourse at coin shows, anything that is over $50, I request a...
Some recent posts about a new forum section to acquaint people with coins and their rarity (or not) resulted in me thinking about which three...
Oh, one other thing. I find that having the specialist book (Cline in this case) does not answer every question and sometimes the more general...
I have Cline, 4th edition. My guess is that there's more detail than the Bowers book if by that you mean the Whitman book.
I see some pretty significant cuts and dings on the portrait and fields on the obverse. The reverse shows quite a few small dings on the...
Thanks for the correction. There is so much incorrect "stuff" out there so thanks for helping me to not perpetuate more of it.
I went to the local coin club monthly show in Melbourne, Florida today. Very busy. About 40 dealers and the floor was packed with people, could...
