The winner is.... Speedy. Last week's prize was unlucky coins. This week is lucky coins. They all end in "7".... with seven Vegas casino...
Did I say "peace" juice? Either that's red kool-aid from the 60's or I was typing too fast. Had to get out and do some last minute shopping....
The first one is at the start on this thread (the one with peace juice). The second is the black one. The third is a 1922-P Peace dollar. If...
I did send a note immediately after reading your response. They replied already. Our label describes the coin as a Genuine Binion Dollar. The...
I used to see people hovering around the coin case at Ben Franklin 30+ years ago. I didn't have an interest back then. The store is still there,...
Thanks GD. That's great info. I thought you were joking.
Thanks for clearing that up ND. I really had no idea what the MS50 meant. I'm keeping everything, but will probably skip the cleaning. Aside...
That's good to hear. I was wondering what an acetone bath might do for that coin. What about the Binion "pedigree"? If I remove it from the...
I was joking around. Just wanted to say that searching for VAMs can be endless and very time consuming.... but don't miss out. I spent hours...
So I have to agree with Speedy (and disagree with myself? :confused: ). I'm new to Morgan collecting this year. I looked at some of my coins...
If you have a lot of Morgan and Peace dollars, don't forget about the varieties. There are thousands of VAMs identified for these two coin types....
I saw the printed label said "MS50". What is that supposed to mean? I assume it doesn't mean mint state. Maybe it's for molasses spill or...
How big is a vile? Make sure you check for VAMs (varieties). There are several dozen for that year/mint... even one 1883-O on the Top 100 list...
You folks are so polite. Nobody corrected me on my typo. If I give him a 64-S dime, I better throw in a 2006 quarter.
None of my scanned images ever seem "crisp" enough... in or out of a slab. Here's a Binion dollar that I scanned in the slab. It looks okay......
Check out the first couple of threads in the Contests section. http://www.cointalk.org/showthread.php?t=3326...
You won the prize twice? If yes, do you still have the gifts and can you post some pictures? I think the experts would need to see the dates,...
Read the contest rules: This contest will end on Saturday December 25th. Merry Christmas ! Thanks. Norm
Unfortunately my wife isn't too enthusiastic about my new hobby. Okay, she hates it. I'm going to buy myself a mint state CC Morgan dollar. I...
I prefer the birds in flight... like the Standing Liberty Quarter, but my coin doesn't look as nice as seamonkey's. :( :( [IMG]
