Well said, for a second, you turned into quite the business man/collector. Congratulations on the sale, glad to say it sounds like it went smoothly.
Everything is so chunky on that coin, the fonts, date, even Lincoln put on a few pounds. I'm afraid to say it's a genuine counterfeit.
It's really to collect in the long term with this hobby. I originally started out working on my type set. Which is actually a useful tool to...
The pictures the seller took are not that great. But I would have to say that is definitely a gouge and not a crack. Just my quick general...
Nice ATB chunk, I'm actually looking forward to the Hawaii volcanoes model. Will probably end up buying 2 or 3 of those bad boys.
Nice notes aside, I think the real winner here is you were actually able to take photos at the bank. Really amazing stuff Travis!
Beautiful rusty toning on that Bella.

I went for a 67 on this one. From what I gathered the luster is nice with nil distracting marks. I'll go out on a limb and think NGC would go 67...
Ouch, someone put some elbow grease into those pieces. Especially the CC dollars.
I like this one too, which each passing day I grow fonder of the small head notes. You should be able to get a little more than face for this one,...
Doug hit the nail on the head. There's no stopping dealers from pricing their coins in accordance with everyone else. A couple points to...
Hey Boston, I usually frequent used bookstores here in the bay area. I'll keep my eyes peeled for one and I'll let you. I have one already, so I...
I like it because it's not the current "colorized" note, it's a relatively low serial. However, because of the slight tear on the bottom, it's a...
What does "Simply Unavailable" mean? Kind of a contradiction seeing as how it's for sale and is "available". You're a kooky nut sometimes Ruben.
Either a slabbed 1839-O Bust Half, something like an AU grade. Or an MS65 Antietam Commem, ideally with a CAC bean already on there.
