That's the nicest Roosevelt I have seen....
Coleguy, Exactly....I spent about an hour today looking up planchet quality issues and such and am seeing that weak strikes are indeed common and...
Great point! Yes, I did check earlier and absolutely no evidence of the horizontal "S."
Conder101, Carbon spots sound like a very likely possibility here. With the piece still in the slab, I inspected the coin under 10X and probably...
Rzage, I don't know if I'm just too picky or if what I am seeing is there. My thinking is that if it predates the "genuine" holder era, then PCGS...
No -- they were $22.95 last year.
I re-read that. Maybe you could add that the date "appears" doubled." If you are like me and probably a lot of us numismatists here, we speak in...
There's nothing wrong with selling the coin most of us call the "1955 'poorman's' double die." I also don't believe there is anything wrong with...
Does PCGS grade and slab modern coins which are even slightly porous? I purchased on eBay a 1909-S Good-6 Lincoln cent in a PCGS slab -- no...
You have to enter the code "telenew" into the promo box that appears when you go to pay for your item(s). Good luck! :)
Aside from errors and varieties (missing mintmarks, variations in design and lettering, etc.) I have a reasonable shot of locating Lincoln wheat...

Hi, Bad Thad -- I'm shooting for something in the XF range for the 31-D....I'm hoping to smoothly graduate the grades of my coins from the G-Fine...
Thanks, Arizona Jack. Yes, I am going to keep my eyes on those early mintmarked teens. As I am going for a BN Good-Fine approach for everything...
Hi, Abe--I guess I was writing when you replied. you think the '22-D is not worth looking into now? Thanks, because I thought otherwise until...
Thanks for your replies, everybody. To answer Bhp3rd's question, I am sticking to coins in Good-Fine for 1909-1920s, and trending into the...
Hi, Alex -- tough call... I know Teletrade is offering this deal for a "first purchase." Maybe a "first purchase" is all items bought and...
I finally have my 1909-S, 1914-D, 1924-D, and 1931-S -- all the "keys," except for the 1909-S VDB, which I can be content without until I save...
Yes, a great deal. I won an AU-55 ICG-graded 1931-S Lincoln cent. It was $100 plus $20 in fees and shipping. Imagine -- $20 for a '31-S in AU+....
JDS--Great buy! I can't tell from the photo angle and distance if I should agree or not with the MS 67 grade, but that IS a beautiful coin.
