I've been gravitating toward an idea posed to me by CT member, krispy: 20 coins. That is, limit, or refine, your collection to 20 coins—however...
I know; I read your OP; was being nostalgic thinking of the Bedford near my hometown. Now that I live in Grand Rapids I've driven by Toledo many...
Smart-looking shop; congratulations! I thought PA, too, when I read the headline. Johnstown is my hometown.
These are interesting although not sure if I like them (I like the bat). They are printed: the dot matrix is from 4-color offset printing.
I couldn't agree more—particularly with "some of the largest dreck movers on ebay have excellent feedback ratings."
Race, thanks for posting your experience with this and good luck in selling off your collection, however you choose to do it. Keep us posted on...
I'm not really sure what you're asking. I'm also not sure what relationship you're implying, in your earlier post, between the original "safety"...
I think you're comparing (bad) apples to oranges. The wily ISP-tracker-downer operates in a different socioeconomic sphere than a crack addict....
Sorry guys, but I beg to differ. I think your caution—though well-intentioned—is a bit excessive. Let's suppose some nefarious CT lurker reads...
Just coming across your OP, I was going to suggest you check out Heritage (if you don't already) for its good photos and previous prices info....
How about winner gets to post the next pair? BTW, are these your coins?
Nice idea; I'll take a stab. I agree, the right one has better eye appeal. Left one is weakly struck in places (among other things). I'll guess...
I know you are speaking from personal experience. We might be perceiving the same environment in a slightly different way. I think dealers are...
You're painting quite a rosy scenario! Many dealers do a lot of shows, often driving to adjacent states, getting up at 3:30 AM to do so. They do...
I tend to agree with you in principle; it seems to me a coin show should encourage interest in the hobby, not discourage it. But I think you're...
My impression from the photos puts me clearly in the "proof" camp: crisp strike and slightly reflective fields. I confess I don't see flow lines...
It's been my experience that a dealer will trade with you if he thinks what you have is worth what he's offering. In other words, 1), he has to...
The dealers at our area shows sell their common stuff at greysheet bid. It's what the competition dictates. I have some nice, even PQ, Morgan and...
Clearly some collectors aren't doing their part!
I would guess what you do is pretty common—to avoid glare, as you say. I would also guess that many ebay sellers tried this and realized how nice...
