JPC: Do you have the complete set of 80-CCs? That would require 4 GSAs: the r78 80/79 overstrike (VAM 4); r79 8/low 7 overstrike (VAM 6); r79...
a little bit of wear in lady's hair. AU. the scratches on her face are distracting, but I can't tell if they are cleaning marks. Anyway, this...

You did fine. This particular bill is common, but I sell these at shows for $23-25 @ in middle grades. Or I'll sell 10 of them for $200. This...
JPC: Great Question. Short Answer: I stay away, as they are not easy to sell. How many people are dying to get their hands on an 1881-S GSA?...
I've heard some dealers refer to circulated proof strike coins as "impaired proofs." Technically, such a coin does not morph into a business...
Agree with JPC. NGC monopolized GSA grading for a long time. ANACS got in game, but they are a distant third grading agency behind the big boys....
GSAs are fun, and popular with collectors (and dealers). The most common GSAs are 1884, 1883 and 1882. Less common GSAs, but available are 1878,...
this interesting 25 cent coin came into my possession this morning, care of Starbucks. I thought it might be silver....but no. copper/nickel....
Midas: had some luck selling locally. Sold a framed Trans-Mississippi bond, where I created a cut-out window on the back of the frame to allow...
The cost of framing is minimal. DIY. I am a small-time art collector. I buy frames and framed posters and such at garage sales and yard sales....
Jerry: no one is busting your chops here. When you post, you can expect all kinds of replies...good, bad and ugly. This thread is not negative....
new bad habit. floating CSA bonds in nice frames in hopes of selling some of them. This is an 1864 "Equestrian" bond, and the poor bast*** who...
how precise is your scale? meaning does it measure to 1/10 of a gram, 1/100th of a gram? This coin is in circulate condition, and should weigh...
physics-fan.....for the most part, I agree. there are certain die clashes on certain coins which command significant premiums...if you can detect...
you have a weirdo!! check the 1882 $5 NBN from Utica, NY. would appear to be a Fr 469. but check a picture of the brownback $5 NBNs....the...
third batch highlights: both 1899 $2 SC appear to be crisp. YES 1882 $20 NBN Cresson rare dog. YES 1862 $2 LT. nice yes 1923 porthole....
second batch. highlights, in my opinion 1922 $100 GC, Fr 1215 cool!! XF 2400/2675 YES 1922 $50 GC, Fr 1200 VF 500/550. yes. check for mule
in order, and using a July 2014 greensheet, with my guess at grade. some sigs were not clear, but I don't think it matters for the bills in...
yep. finding tiny die clash marks is one use. Case in point: 1880-CC Morgan, R78 (VAM 7a). The VAM 7 has remnants of the 7 under the second 8....
