OP, I wasn't sure if you were still paying attention to this thread until the above post. I am curious what your level of experience/expertise...
Interesting article, thanks for posting, but..."likely lead to all sorts of regulations"? Likely? Such as?
Yeah, it crossed my mind that he was simply cutting his losses (regardless of whether the coin might lose any more value); probably the most...
I know what you're saying but regardless of how many times the coin has changed hands (I'm guessing not many in a year for this particular coin),...
If this is the case, and I'm not suggesting it's not (because markets do go up and down), then why wouldn't the seller wait a while before selling...
Very nice, Winged! I like your rationale for collecting halves, too; makes a lot of sense—particularly that they are the largest versions of the...

Thanks—for your compliment and info. I'd be curious to get your take on the grade (luster is full). :)
I love the look of MS BNs too. You got a great coin for less than it went for in '07.
Some really nice coins being posted! Here's a '38. Softly struck, but I liked its warm "countenance." These are not my photos. [IMG] [IMG]
Nice coin; I followed this on Heritage last year.
First, congrats on attending your first show and for your finds. As for the ethical question, it's an individual matter, as you say. Personally I...
I think you'd be smart to trust your gut instinct, which is telling you to stay away from problem coins! They'll soon lose favor with you in your...
