I believe if you submit it to PCGS for just a new slab everything else will remain the same.
My intent was to give collectors guidance on *valuation* of coins. This information is often associated with coin *catalogs*. But I consider a...
Example (a familiar one): COUNTRY: United States Category: Coins Sub-category: Printed Sources Title: A Guide Book of United States Coins Author:...
What do you consider "older" coins? My definition of "older" is pre-20th century. I don't limit myself to just pre-20th century coins but that's...
A question often asked is, “How much is it worth?” There are many sources available that list values for coins. There are fewer sources that...
I suspect MS Access would be a great program for more than just basic info. Unfortunately MS Access has a steep learning curve.
I can only get coin images from my scanner. I ain't got no app. But images are not my problem. I got one Competitive Set loaded except I have to...
Oh, goodie. I thought it was difficult putting sets into the registry back when. Now I think it's worse. If you can't guess, I'm having trouble.
Getting nice looking 1811's is difficult. If I recall correctly the planchets came from England and tended to be porous. Here's my two. I made...
Yep, Manley's book lists the 1809 C-1 as an R5. The two 1811's are listed as R4 and R3. I've already got them so the 1809 C-1 could be my stopper.
Oh, and I don't collect proofs so that eliminates the 1831 and 1836 dates from my collection. But just on GP's I'll include the 1837 token since...
IMO it's a -65. I believe the marks are bag marks, not handling marks. And I consider them within the current definition of MS-65.
I decided to expand my Classic Head Half Cent set from the Red Book listing to ALL Cohen die varieties. This upped the set count from 16 coins to...
I agree with the "late die state" analysis. LOTS of metal flow lines on the obverse and most of the feathers have lost definition on the ends.
IMO it's 20. But it's hard to be a "hole filler" if you can't be sure.
I gave my sister-in-law a Franklin dated her birth year. I gave her husband a Walker dated his birth year. I think both coins were either MS-63...
But I'm having a LOT of trouble creating Competitive and Custom sets. It was hard before. Now I haven't even begun to get the hang of it.
Good point. If no one wants the 1933 Double Eagle then it's only worth $7.6 million on paper.
Good going. My problem was that some of my sets were still a work in progress. Therefore any PCGS coins I added would show up as part of the set...
I agree that R1, R2, and R3 are pretty much the same in value. One example of a set that I like to get deeper into is the half cents,...
