When it gets that deep into the woods, I just throw my hands up and send it to John. I just got an 1887 O, MS62 + coin in hand today and it looks...
Your scope takes pretty good photos. Send it in to VSS and have John attribute it. 6 bucks plus postage and insurance. A really good deal for VAM...
I think my favorite was on Pawn Stars when a guy walked in with a 1888 O Morgan cracked die "Scarface" LDS VAM in high grade. I'm sure the whole...
Value is in the eye of the beholder. I don't like GSA slabs, but most of the time you are guaranteed the coin was never cleaned and only subject...
Sniping at night or on weekends is a futile effort. It's when the auctions expire at odd times during week days that it pays off. Of course, a...
I don't like the holders at all, but I'm not cracking them out. I just send the slab in for grading, and all TPGs will sticker them. But the slab...
Yes, that was my question. I paid less than a $100 for a 85 O in MS64. I can't remember if I bought it slabbed or had it slabbed. I'm scratching...
I get that most of these more valuable sets sold in the 70's were Carson City dollars and in mostly UNC grades. I have two of the CC GSA coins....
You will never hear me post squat about grading gold. That is pure sorcery, human sacrifice, dogs and cats sleeping together, mass hysteria! :eek:
I'm not really sure what auctions you participate in. I'm a confirmed sniper, I don't bid any other way, I learned very quickly that you schedule...
There are deals to be had at your very fingertips on eBay. Sometimes though, you get the bull, sometimes you get the horns. I've gotten it both...
What's the fun in that for the collector? It's the journey, the highs and lows of expectations and mixed results, wins and misses. They missed...
Price guide for a 21D is $75 for AU58? I may have to think about selling a few dozen.:p
I've only submitted to ANACS so far, quite a few actually, probably 80 submissions so far. Don't all TPGs offer you the option of not cracking...
I'll be the last one to complain about someone else's coin photos. I absolutely suck at that. :p
It's an expensive proposition, especially if trying to complete a set in choice grades. I've pretty much got 90% of them but what's slowing me...
I just bought my first CACG slabbed coin this week. It's a non key date Morgan that I'm just filling an empty slot with. I was not seeking that...
Haven't been buying a lot of new stuff lately. My Morgan collection expansion to fill blank holes is getting REALLY expensive, I'm 90% there but...
Your 67 Jefferson is outstanding. Look at his eyes, he looks like he's reckt on some controlled substance. :D
I would say yes because I think the face value is a one to one relationship with the weight of the coin. IE, a 20 dollar gold piece has 4 times...
