I've been waiting for the anticipated release of the Hawaii quarters. Will probably get some of those along with the hockey puck. Looking...
Those are some blazers, real shame the silvers are not in there. Those would have been equally stunning.
Almost, whizzing means using some sort of dremel tool with polishing wheels to attempt to bring back the natural luster of a coin. Usually it...
Welcome to CT, very nice looking coins you have. And amazing, already a star with the photos too, nice quality!
I think the moral of the story is...why shop at this dealer to begin with?!? Sounds like he doesn't know what he's doing.
Or it could be the 2nd grade experimental vinegar and salt bath. Those are always fun and deceptively satin like ;)
Mark's right, most vendors are getting away from Paypal altogether because of the scamming problems some of them have encountered. Lots of...

Looks to be post mint damage. Looks like whoever did that was playing around with a vice.
Celebrating a nice sale doesn't include the words "tax implications" in this thread. It's like bringing that up the moment someone wins a million...

Just goes to show all the new collectors, that with hard work and research, this is a hobby that can bear all sorts of fruit. And there's plenty...
Nice collection Jim, let's take a look at your MS65 1921's.
Look at this guy trying to lowball ya. I'd at least give you melt if I had the cash ;)
All very keepable in my opinion. The largest premium is your 2nd radar note. And with low serials like your last note, under 1000 will get you...
You should ask the tellers if they have full rolls of 2009 nickels. Those sell for a tidy sum because of the smaller mintages. Believe it or...
