Very cool story and write up! I really enjoy reading these stories and seeing the photos of the experience.
I definitely support the WTC recovery slabs as I am also in support of the labels for specific shipwreck recoveries. I think the provenance there...
Precisely my point.
Or it could make the hobby look like a bunch of sleazy car salesmen...
Wow that is an incredibly long time. I do not "need" the coins back for anything, but like everybody else sooner is better than later. Thank you...
Okay I have a question about these fees. When it says things like 5-coin minimum, is that 5 coins of the same level? For example, let's say I have...
Looks like a definite fake to me. The date is weird (specifically the 9). The surfaces them self appear like a cast copy. If you look at areas...
Oh wow! I thought instead of the usual $25-30 it would be like $50. I have not researched it whatsoever, but was only guessing. I don't think $100...
Are these the shows that NGC / PCGS attend that you can get coins graded and slabbed at the show (albeit for a bit more money per coin than...
I'm going to look into those shows as well. Thanks for the input! I noticed that yesterday when I was looking at the hotels' websites around...
I saw that on their site. That's incredible. I would love to be a part of that. I did know about the Long Beach show. That is one that is often...
Wow! That's incredible and almost hard to imagine. I'm looking at how feasible it would be for me to attend right now. That would be really cool.
I've seen the FUN show while watching "Cool Coins" videos. I was unaware it was a major show.
I have been to more coin shows than I can count, but I have never been to any major event. The largest shows I have attended had around 75 dealers...
Can you explain what this means? What exactly do you mean by "vertical"?
This is almost a catch-22. How can you become experienced without doing the hobby in the first place? Well, I consider myself as learning. I come...
Or buy a few coins and get burned and figure out how and why. Buying the books is probably a cheaper education.
Very good illustrations here. I definitely understand that all the 1795 large cents in AG03 are not "worth $70" exactly. I was asking what the...
Not all dealers, but to say that there aren't dealers this is true of is naïve.
This comment serves no purpose and was a waste of both of our time. I clearly stated that I was not attempting to buy at that price, I would but...
Separate names with a comma.
