Would it generate collector interest in proof sets? Yes, probably (definitely?) so. I readily admit it. It's not the government's job to...
And if the West Point mint wasn't churning out all of that bullion crap for collector/investors it could be used to take up some of the slack in...
PCGS registry requires that all coins be in PCGS holders. NGC allows a mixture.
I don't own one...nor have I ever in the past. For that matter, I have never owned a hobo nickel, either. As for liking or disliking his work I...
The problem is that the mint is so busy putting out bullion rounds for investors that serve no purpose at all that they don't have time to put out...
Life lesson: People DO NOT LIKE dollar coins. They never have. The mint should quit trying to force them down the collective throats of an...
Nice coin. You may already know this, but it is the 1818/5 overdate and as such is probably worth a 50 to 75 percent premium over the standard...
And if 75 to 80 percent of the VF bust halves IN SLABS (yes, even those from the "top two") weren't cleaned as well I would probably agree with...
Well, you will eventually have a year over year variety...ALL the 1815s are overdates...1815/12s. I will tell you, though. Most bustie...
In general, there is no reason whatsoever to slab VF busties --there are at most 3 dates (and I would say only 1 or 2) where the slab costs are...
Nothing at all wrong with your take on it--I agree with it--as long as you accept the corollary that that dealer has no obligation to tell a...
Anyone can grade coins anyway he wishes as long as he doesn't claim the coins are anything other than what they actually are...in your example,...
The hunt is not fulfilled simply by going online and ordering (to use your example) an entire Walker short set. It is fulfilled by looking at...
Not a bad time to start a "discretionary income" hobby at all. Use of discretionary income is just exactly that--an expenditure of income without...
The last time I checked the US was part of the world.;) [IMG] [IMG] Now, if you mean strictly non-US coins (which of course I realize you do) [IMG]
As Jesse said above the 1811 is 101 rather than 102 and the 1825 is 115.
Actually the Sheldon scale (used by the ANA grading guide) should ONLY be used on large cents. That's what it was developed for. This appears...
Of course it will grade. It is a nice G to weak VG. There, it graded. Will it slab is a different question. (from the pics, I think it better...
Why are so many of the battles referred to by their Union names? Bull Run rather than Manassas, Chantilly instead of Ox Hill, Antietam over...
Do you insist that it is Smith and Weston's fault if some nefarious character should someday use one of their products to mug some newbie to the...
Separate names with a comma.
