I'm reading The Expert's Guide to Collecting and Investing in Rare Coins by Bowers. I'm really enjoying it and finding it highly worthwhile. It...
spock1k, I absolutely do not think you'll be disappointed with the BelOMO loupe I mentioned in the thread that satootoko provided. I hardly can...
Yeah, but you can re-charge the canisters and they have the built in color indicator. They're supposed to last a lifetime. I don't think you can...
Very impressive Rickie! That looks more like a well-stocked dealer's display than your collection!
I use silica gel, but I use the 40 gram aluminum canisters that I bought from JP's corner. They seem to be working well so far. It looks like...
NGC graded this one AU58. I believe there's a little bit of wear that is most evident on Liberty's hair on the obverse. I appreciate everyone's...
Does anybody see any problems with this coin? I was initially slightly concerned about the very fine lines that seem to run diagonally from the...
Yep! The cutting mat, Model Master and Testors paints, Micro Set and the Tamiya box down to the left under the table will get you every time!...
Yeah, that is a lot nicer packaging with the smaller size. Those big boxes for just one coin take up too much space. On a side note, I see you...
Teletrade is very simple to use. Go here and click on any of the auctions listed under Browse Upcoming Auctions (Bid Now!) on the left. Then,...
I still don't get why everyone makes a big deal out of buyer's fees. The companies have to make money too and the buyer's fee makes no difference...
LETSBUYCOINS, you seem entirely too uptight about the price you paid for your coin (no offense intended). As has been stated, if you're happy with...
I don't know that the coin in question is a counterfeit. The things that might seem to suggest that to me is the texture of the surfaces on the...
I may have sounded a bit...overly excited, but, I was just thrilled to see all the things on my coins that I hadn't seen before! :goofer: For...
I just got a new BelOMO loupe and it's fantastic! I want to recommend this loupe as a great, low cost alternative to higher priced "name brand"...
Congratulations! I hope you enjoy your coin. I ordered mine slightly later in the day, so who knows where I am in the grand scheme of things,...
My $1 Uncirculated order has a shipping date of Feb 5, 2007 on it. So we may be getting them sooner than expected.
Wow, it looks like Coin World is winning out!
That looks like a normal NGC slab to me. Like has been said, I don't think NGC's slabs open very easily and you would know. Those whitish areas,...
Yeah, that's one of the things that I thought might be nice about trying Numismatic News.
