Like Doug said, the Krause catalog has been known for under or over valuing coins. Not only that many of the info. listed in them such as mintage...
Another coin for my foreign collection. [ATTACH] Nothing really special about the coin so I dressed it up with a fancy background. :D
Its always fine to ask for a few bucks off, or to ask if the seller can do anything. If you think his price is still too much then you have two...
I agree with others, its so unpredictable with that toning if it would grade. If you're planning on keeping it for your personal collection, I...
Got a 1853 three cent piece. Would like to get more but they're not that cheap in better grades. I will post a picture when I take a photo of it.
I saw that too, thanks for all the info. Its finds like this that makes collecting so fun.
Thanks Derick, I did some searching and according to NGC's database there are both proof and circulating coins minted. In either case this coin...

For me, the term expensive is always changing. Sometimes I save a few weeks salary and go looking for a higher priced item. Sometimes I blow my...
Thats a specialty where not only the plates are printed in different size, its also minted in different denomination... and series. So technically...
Recognizing AT and NT coins are not always easy. You really have to look at a lot of toned coins to get the feel of them. And even then, its still...
If the cent is red and full of luster, I would say its worth keeping. Also any toned cents are worth setting aside too. So get the jar out, set...
My goal is to collect what I like, coins. :D Still going to be adding more toned Morgans to my collection. Plus, will always be looking for...
Not good, my small list of goals increased to a huge list. I did accomplish some of it though.
I can imagine its hard to let go of a good collection like that. Hope your auctions bring in a good amount of money.
I'm confused about the item title. "Not junk NGC grading" is he trying to imply that NGC does a poor job or commend them?
I used to worry about overpaying for coins too. But then I realized something, I'm here to enjoy collecting coins, constantly worrying about...
I would think the best thing to do is to buy airtites and get the tubes for them. It might cost more but whats the point of buying airites only to...
