A friend of mine served as a Judge of Elections overseeing a polling place for years. He felt that for every stupid reason that caused a person...
Right there with yakpoo. I've been doing the same. Picking up MC's in 69 grades for less then the mint costs and way below slabbing costs. Why not?
Great shows. Seems like the three of you are already getting the swing of it. Dimeguy offered up some good future topics. Another might be,...
Thanks for the information. Speaking of regiestry sets. Do any of them offer a discount on gradding and slabbing if you reach a certin...
Looking at Ebay today and saw some NGC "pedigree" coins being sold. They were from the McClaren Collection. I'm going to go out on a branch...
Very cool. Makes a person wonder how many of them are still running around out there. They have to be slowly being hoarded up into collections.
Thanks to everybody that threw in their two cents. Feel free to anybody else that hasn't. I was thinking VF myself. Wanted to put it up for...
Working on my grading skills. Figured I'd put them up to the test on this walking liberty. Offer your opinion on what grade you think it is. I...
Thanks for the break down and the link. It enlightened me on teletrade. Fusiafinch, ouch on the CA tax. There's no sales tax yet on coins...
Does Teletrade charge $5 for shipping per coin or $5 per order? Also, hat tip to the posters that pointed out there is no buyers fee on Tuesdays....
Well, it could be argued that Jackson carries more blame then he deserves on the removal of American Indians. Point taken though. The American...
Bid on my first teletrade auctions today. Had a winning bid. Put $5 on a Andrew Jackson presidential dollar NGC MS-68. (Hey who doesn't like...
I think the TPG's should offer a heads or tails service. For a fee, they will flip your coin X amount of times. Then the label will mark if it...
Well put. Sure, you can make a profit but you'd better buy it for the right price first. A good dealer is only going to buy stuff that's A)...
But that's not what the guy selling them to me said. He said they were great investment and always went up in value. In fact, I don't even know...
Good point. If those same people want to "invest" I have a bridge I'd be happy to sell them.
Anybody else see the irony in somebody wanting to put almost 1k in coins but not buy a $15 dollar book? Then again, maybe some people are just...
TC, great minds think alike. Was thinking the same thing. With the unslabbed, you still have a shot (cross your fingers) at getting that 70 (we...
Don't overthink it. Doug's (GDJMSP) advice is golden. The 5x B&L will give you good lens for grading. If you want to look for hairlines and...
