Auction houses should ban or give a lengthy suspension to those who dishonor their bids. It is totally unfair to those who honor their commitments...
Here is my pair. I wish that the 1796 half dollar was a VF-25 like the quarter, but it's been the best I could find and afford. 1796 Quarter....
My guess is over 300, but a lot of them are damaged. I have seen quite a few that were bent, and several that were holed. A coin dealer I knew in...
VF-20.
I would go in the Heritage site and see what they have gotten for the item. You can also go to PCGS "Coin Facts" which has the PCGS value, which...
This is coin, not a token, but it has now become quite expensive. I sold a few of these for well under $200 when I was a dealer. Now they can...
Good pictures. If their photos are poor, I don't need to go any further. Ideally I buy from people I have met at the shows over the years.
The 1860 Indian cent is made with a copper-nickel alloy that is different from the later pieces which were made on bronze planchets. When that...
It's crazy that the Chinese would make a counterfeit of this coin. Although the 1949 is a better date, it's no big deal in circulated condition....
Which two coins are you lacking? I am guessing that it is the 1796-7 half dollar and maybe a Chain Cent. If you only go up to 1964, I have...
The coin looks like a CAMEO to me, but I have found that the cameo designation is inconsistently applied. As for the green bean, I have no idea...
Here are couple more Civil War related pieces which are not classified as Civil War tokens. [ATTACH] This piece was issued after John Brown...
Back in 1943, the cent was more important than you might imagine. The economy was also far more active than it had been during the Great...
If a 1943 cent is bright and shiny, it does not have original surfaces.
Most auctions don’t offer that option. Harlan Berkeley is one of the few. Some complain that his prices are too high, but it’s also a fact that...
I don’t need to contact him; I know him very well. The fact is my 10 grand worth of purchases is not enough to convince him to change his business...
I HATE eBay because of that. I want this hobby to be fun. EBay is THE PITS because of that. Why mess with a venue that makes your life miserable?...
I refuse to bid in eBay auctions because of the “one cent rule” and snipping system. Life is too short to mess with that.
And in very rare instances, the fellow who might have outbid you forgets to bid. I've forgotten to bid in a couple of auctions after I noted the...
That piece does exit. It's listed in Rulau Hard Times Token 1832 - 1844 book as HT 82. I knew an old gentlemen when I lived in New Jersey who had...
Separate names with a comma.
