Good luck, Jack. If you ever go mail order, I'm in for some of your hot sauce.
I am not a Peace Dollar expert but I found interesting David Hall's recent statement on rainbow toned Peace dollars, which he mentions in his Coin...
This makes me ill. I live fairly close to where this occurred and will keep my eyes open at any local shows I attend. But it sounds as if Julian...
Good job, Billy. I know you prepared for the show and obviously went home with a lot of coins you were looking for. I was at CoinFest Friday...
Billy Liked yours and Sasha's reports. Also liked your photo of the 1843 D gold piece. I was there briefly on Friday and enjoyed staring at it...
Well, I see the possible wear Mark is citing on the high spot of the left (right facing) wing, which is a common area for first signs of wear....
Market, just so you understand, Doug posted photos of 1935-D's, which are notorious for being flat as pancakes through the middle. If you can...
I think a problem that most people have who decided to invest in rare coins is that they don't realize the amount of information and expertise...
Mark I see I borrowed my fourth rule about "if something bothers you about a coin..." from your 20 tips, which I have read many times. And here...
Thanks for sharing, Kanga. From the PCGS pop reports, it looks like the large 5C outnumbers the small 5C about six to one in mint state so the...
All right. I will give it a shot. 1. Have fun. It is a hobby. I don't want to lose money hand over fist, but I am in this as a collector...
Very nice, Charmy. Like the toning on that 1889 (subtle always beats flash to my eye). That one's a keeper.
Left-handed. And yes, we are taking over. Right handers have screwed things up long enough....:D;)
I like the PCGS coin better (and not just bc it's in a PCGS holder). These two coins present the frustration/confusion that copper always gives...
Reverse hipbone (often first site of wear) and rims make me think AU although the photo makes it difficult to say. There is something low on the...
Matt This is a solid thread that is both interesting and informative. I have always stayed away from gold, and this thread, including the...
Well, it's a great looking coin and hard to find much wrong with it. Love the color and the strike looks pretty solid although Lee's stars do not...
I certainly agree with you on obscured sets -- I wonder why PCGS and NGC allow it. Mr. Forsythe has obscured his Walker set on PCGS, and although...
Great piece of history -- I would love to own a Fugio some day. The sundial point is no doubt true -- we have all moved on to cell phones,...
For those that follow the registries, Gerald Forsythe has had the number one Buffalo Nickel Mint State Set on both NGC and PCGS for some time....
