The shop I work at was charging under 10x face for 90% the last time I worked. I'm sure it's even lower now that silver is down some more. That...
I posted this a while back, but it fits here, so I'll tell the story again. Hopefully some new eyes will read it. Anyway, one of my wife's uncles...
That is very interesting. Bet I never would have noticed that on my own.
I'll have to wait a bit anyway if I end up doing the cent. I have enough money now to afford the dime and almost the buffalo nickel. I'm certainly...
It's always been hard for me to save my money and get the better coins. Every time it seems I have several hundred in my coin fund, I always buy a...
On my 6th birthday, my grandpa gave me 6 Ike dollars. Seventh birthday I got 7, and so on. I think he ran out of the Ike dollars he had been...
Meh...maybe I'll get it. We put it out yesterday and I go back to work again tomorrow. Currency moves VERY slowly at that store, so I'm pretty...
Thought I'd post about this. The shop I work at has a Tombstone note for sale for $20...no joke. It's about the most pathetic thing you could ever...
Definitely some great info being contributed in this thread. I appreciate it. Gives me a different perspective on cleaning. I saw some today that...
Well, I took the job and I've already learned some things after only two half days there. Some good and some bad. It's still crazy to me the...
For the last 25 years, I've been kind of in and out of coin collecting at different times. When I got interested again a few years ago, the shop I...
Without looking at my inventory sheet, just flipping through a redbook, I think it would have to be my 1855 xf half cent. 56,500 mintage.
I've got some mint sets from the 50s and 60s. Out of about ten, one is missing the envelope completely and another 6 have the original ones, but...
If you guys kick and scream enough, I guess I can scan a couple pics, but I really don't think it's necessary. Just curious on ballpark value....
I'm no expert, but I was thinking Fine myself. I compared it to a bunch of "Fine" notes on Don C. Kelly's website and this one looks pretty...
OK, I don't get this. I've noticed on eBay and at my local shop that there is a big difference in premium charged on old US silver coins. Here...
Cool. I had a feeling I did well. My dealer is a nice guy and deals much more in coins and bullion. Doesn't pay much attention to the currency....
Picked these up at the coin shop last week. I'm pretty happy. I know what the price tags say, but the owner always cuts some off. He started doing...
Thanks for the tip. It's probably what I'll end up doing. If that Morgan didn't have the ding on the rim, or it was a little more valuable coin,...
I was wondering what you all thought about using Coins magazine as an alternative to using a redbook or greysheet for figuring out what's fair to...
