Definitely not Mrs. O'Leary's cow... the guys that wrote up that story retracted it and admitted it was made up sometime in the 1890s I believe....
141 years ago today was the start of The Great Chicago Fire which burnt a large portion of the city to the ground October 8-10, 1871. I grew up...
Definitely one of my favorite commems! I'd guess MS63. The fields look sort of flat and based on the light rim toning I would guess that the...
Get the ANA book. You can look at photos of coins all day long online if you want to try to learn to grade by photos. Most auction sites allow...
Sure, but the 1943-D 1c copper is unique... that one cost $1.7 million. Or 170,000,000 times face value :) Saw the coin at the Long Beach show...
There are roughly 6 shows at the Van Nuys Masonic Hall each year and they are all one-day shows held on Sundays only... About 4 of them are run...
Looks good so far! I was building a Dansco 7070 set at one time using high grade slabbed coins... but I just cracked them all out of the holders...
Dansco would probably put the hole in there if more collectors would demand it. I never let an album dictate what my collection is going to be...
I haven't posted my 1909 IHC in PCGS MS66RD in this thread yet... though I have been using it as my avatar icon since I joined this forum... How...

Next, here are some coins for sale here only (and over on CU)... I believe I'm below the going rates on these, but feel free to make offers if you...
Here are a few of my eBay auctions ending tomorrow, Sunday 9/16... bidding is still low on most of them!!! Please take a look... I also have some...

Also got these old Capital Plastic holders recently from a small antique shop in central Missouri... the first holds 1909-1937 and the second...

Way too hard to pick just one coin... but I thought it would be fun to post a video instead of just a pic: http://youtu.be/9QwEziDw5OA
It's too bad they bill is calling for them to mint smaller versions of the $50 Pan-Pacs... it would have been great if they reissued them in the...
I'd maybe buy that one for $75-$100 or so, maybe a few bucks more if it looked even better in hand. I guess I also have a few listings that...
Never really looked too hard for error coins as they aren't my thing, but I have cherrypicked a few varieties off the bid boards. Also got some...
