I don't get it. That Peace Dollar doesn't look too bad. Since Peaces were known for their rather unattractive/unusual toning, this one actually...
Grab Bags = bad news. Think about it -- if what was in the bag was worth more than $119/229, why would they sell them together, undervaluing them...
I am also unfamiliar with note collecting -- in theory if you had a $20 gold certidicate you wouldbe able to pick up a St. Gaudens? The idea that...
For some reason, I thought Daniel Carr died a few years back. :eek:
I've been experimenting checking out different auction sites...checked out Heritage (ridiculous BP, IMHO), GreatCollecions, ProxyBid,...
Thanks for the tips. The obverse of the Barber is fairly easy to photograph, while the reverse (since it has a different luster flow lines) is a...
Interesting...I think I would agree with you there. The problem is, I try to strive for both "natural" coin look as well as accuracy. My original...

Well, he did win it fair and square (congrats, btw). However, next time I would suggest limiting members' questions/guesses to 1 or 2 a day to...
Is it a penny? (1 cent coin)?
The obverse looks more harshly cleaned than the reverse to me; overall the coin seems to have been lightly cleaned -- there's still quite a bit of...
84,920. Thanks for the contest!
Here's some pics of the Barber that just came in the mail -- it really has some brilliant luster to it. (If anyone can show me how to post...
AND it's a wheat cent! :eek: I've never seen a double denomination struck with an older date. And it has some beautiful toning there as well....
Doesn't look that crusty to me! That's some really smooth rainbow rim toning you got there! Definitely worth more than $100 if you send it in to a...
+1. It's rather sad actually -- having (one of) the finest collections and not even being able to show it off! However, in today's rather...
