GoldFinger, just as a general heads-up...you might want to edit out your email address (unless you actually LIKE spam) and just ask people to PM...
What is this "sell" thing that you mention?
It's not a variety, per say. The Overton number refers to the die marriage and all early bust halves have one. The R-3 rating gives no premium...
Because at least two bidders realized the rarity of the die variety. This wasn't a retail type of coin. In the same type of auction today I...
And by then I really won’t give a crap. As for authentication, yes, I do recommend that most people do so with such a coin if unable to do so...
Price, and to answer your first question, no, I wouldn't have it certified. I don't buy for future resale purposes, so why spend the extra money.
Does not appear to be a fake. It is an example of the JR-4 die marriage for the year. Not my coin, but here is an example of one in better...
It will not have either of the experimental edges. All O-103s are the plain edge. For future reference... Here are the differing edges in the...
Reasonably nice looking. I might pay a small premium over spot--say 10%. Others would pay either no premium or they might pay more depending on...
This is an old-time AU-50 (which is what I suspect it was sold as back in the 70s era auction you reference.) Today it would go somewhere between...
They will run not walk to the local dealer where they will get maybe 30 cents on the dollar...and I'm fine with that. This is STILL 30 cents on...
Do the EAC guys still put out their CQR (Copper Quotes by Robinson)? It's been a few years since I tried to find a copy.
If you are a stockholder in that pharmaceutical company then, yes, it IS right for the company to make as much profit as possible. If you don't...
Nice half. and the quarter isn't bad, either.
Growing up in the 1960's in small-town Oklahoma and working as an automotive fueling specialist (gas pump jockey), I often received obsolete coins...
I'm gonna get some people upset, but I'm taking the opposite side. CoinBlazer is not a noob--he works part-time at a coin shop. He saw the coin...
Bust halves are actually going up, not down. The book prices may not change--they might even drop slightly, but XF coins are now called (and...
People keep saying that prices are dropping. I sure don't see that much sign of it. One can only hope. The less I pay the better I like it.
As good as any guide, IMO. Don't forget to adjust your valuation yearly at premium time (maybe every other year depending on how often you...
It was a dark and rainy Monday night in Baltimore late in October 1822. Miss Liberty was counting out the receipts from her boarders prior to...
