Hopefully the 1950-D was not in someone's collection and either the spouse or kids or grandkids took it to spend it.
Apparently the OP is just trying to justify buying the coin because it is labelled as being minted at the West Point mint. IMO he feels that the...
I agree with other posts, first separate into denominations, then concentrate on the silver coins. Red Book is a must. Hope you enjoy your hunt!
If you notice, a change is made every 50 years (doesn't seem to be just coincidence). First, to honor Lincoln, 100 years after his birth with the...
What I meant was that they did not change the reverse like they do for the Lincoln cents every 50 years.
So many tourists (or even geological experts) forget that they are not in the U.S. and most foreign countries do not have a sense of humor when...
Grade it to simply get it slabbed and safer from the elements. Beautiful coin.
It's too bad the Mint did not do something on the 50th anniv. (1996) like they do every 50 years for the Lincoln cent. Maybe in 2046? Most of us...
Early on, it may have been the fact that the Nazis' were seemingly tolerant of the protestant and catholic churches, only "bad-mouthing" the Jews....
ETSY would be the place to go instead of e-Bay since ETSY seems to have a more uninformed audience.
It's good to see someone who didn't listen to CT experts get their come-uppence, if that is what actually happened. Hopefully no one bids more...
I never did get my "clear" pic of the reverse. And I even asked nicely.
I contacted seller to send me a "clear" photo of the reverse. First, the seller has only sold 14 items in his history. It's amazing how these...
Early on in your post, you ran an e-Bay seller advertising "unsearched" coins, but the ad continued on that there were p-d-d coins. Just one...
Happy Birthday! Fantastic coin.
I like your method of storage, and I basically do the same for all my unslabbed coins except that I use the Dansco 7000 album. What I like about...
My bad. What I meant to say was that sellers are charging more or less for the different labels. TPG's are just grading and labeling the slabs.
The scam is not in the grading, but in the labels. i.e. First releases, Early Releases. First Strike, etc.
Pity the poor collector whose stash was raided by a spouse, kid, or grandkid and spent. Or, worse yet, a collector who was carrying this around...
The unfortunate part is if these bidiots are collecting these for their kids or grandkids. The reverse is true if they go to sell them and...
Separate names with a comma.
