We will be visiting friends in Manhasset NY this weekend and I was wondering if anyone can recommend a dealer in that area.
As for coin shows, I agree 100% about kids being catered to by many dealers. We were at WESPNEX recently and he found a dealer with an odd bin...
interestingly enough we do haunt coin dealers and shows. The range of experience at dealers is interesting. There is a dealer in Brooklyn who...
I'm wondering if anyone can comment on their experience with the various dealers who advertise in CoinWorld and such publications... I mean the...
Thanks for the replies. I think I will try having a index sheet for each sheet of coins with the necessary info. Also, I noticed that you can...
We just got back to Paris where, with some steering from my friends here on CoinTalk, my son and I spent a few happy afternoons browsing up and...
Frank, thanks. I am in contact with Eric, will be sending the mysterious coin to him for further examination, and will report back the results.

Here is a .pdf with the best scan of the reverse I could manage. You can see the faint line to the left of the 'D'. Sam asked me to point out that...
I'm in Brooklyn, NY. I'm hoping I can post a picture of sufficient granularity, but if not I don't know how else to get an opinion.
I will do my best to post a picture that captures the rather faint and tiny mark we are talking about. If not, any other suggestions on how to get...
Is there a known variety of Barber 1911-D dime with an overstrike or double die on the mintmark? We picked up a coin this weekend that seems to...
Gentlemen, as always you have been very helpful... and amusing.
We are off to Paris for a week and my amazing wife (who is planning the entire trip) asked if there are any notable coin stores in Paris so she...
Thanks. I'm bringing my son Saturday for his second Young Numismatists seminar with Larry Gentile. Then off to hunt down some silver (and maybe a...
Amen, Brother. I started collecting recently with my 9 year old son... he covers the US, I cover the World. Talk about being overwhelmed! 100's of...
