spock1k, my personal recommendation if you're looking for a high grade coin like that on the internet is to only buy one that's certified.
I agree with GD about the scratch keeping it out of a slab and I think it looks AU to me. I'm seeing some wear on the high points of the reverse.
I'd sell the PR70 Reverse Proof. You'll still have the very nice PR69. After that, I'd see what else you need to sell to get up close to...
I totally understand. I have not mentioned what I was looking for before as well, for fear that someone else would go and get what I wanted. No...
Daggarjon, can you tell us specifically what you're looking for that you're not able to find? Type 1, 2 or 3... certain year and mint mark, etc.?
...not to mention the fact that almost every one of his sestertii appear to have the same "patina".
codydude815, I have a couple of recommendations for you. When I was first getting started in ancients, I read "Ancient Coin Collecting" by Wayne...
Daggarjon, you can also keep your eyes open for what you're looking for on Teletrade or Heritage. Both also have want-list type features and...
spock1k, I'm sorry to hear that the show was a downer. In situations like this, I always feel that I'm glad to have had the experience anyway.

I probably average out to looking at some of them once or twice a week... sometimes more, sometimes less.
I have a bunch that I like, but my favorites that I use the most are... -The Expert's Guide to Collecting and Investing in Rare Coins (Q. David...
I would really like to get up to that show one of these days (about 260 miles for me), but can't do it this year...I'm on limited funds and...
I'll say that NGC graded it MS64. Nice coin!
That's a beautiful coin Ruben. Enjoy! Oh, and I sometimes tend to collect like you too. I try to get going on some sort of set, then something...
USS656, I know you probably don't want to hear it, but with these California fractionals, I'd recommend buying certified coins unless you really...
Jhonn, that link to your old band doesn't seem to go to a valid MySpace page. Do you have another one? How about any music from your Denver band...
Good to know Jhonn. I'll check it out!
I had to mark Random Mixture. It's mostly U.S. and a bit of Roman Imperial with a couple others thrown in.
I don't know about that either. The show was at the America's Center right in the heart of downtown St. Louis. I would think that coin collectors...
