It's like those who live in NYC who have never been to the Statue of Liberty. I didn't go until I was in my 20's... I still haven't been to the...
I think it's worth a trip to Stack's just given some of the interesting items they have on display there (not for sale). Thalia Elizabeth and...
I would be really conservative about valuation of any "collectible" in the calculation of a net worth for paperwork such as a FASFA. I can't...
Good points Carl. I can understand how a "gap" in the box can be "created" easily. I think in order of "real estate" consumed, the boxes and...
Welcome to the forum! I must say these are really nice coins. I kind of split the difference between the two opinions presented so far. I...
Very nice coins! Thalia Elizabeth especially approves of the 1900 Penny-- as it's 100 years older than she is. (We have one too, but not as high...
The Barber series of coins has seemed to "get no respect" since my first go-round in collecting more than 30 years ago. I've come to appreciate...
Although dealers would obviously prefer buyers to tire kickers, at least the tire kickers (or perhaps "browsers" would be a less pejorative term?)...
I also prefer the single column format for reading threads and scanning through the lists of new posts.
Show report-- A couple less dealers than usual. Traffic was a bit higher for the first two hours (my time at the coin club table) than it's...
Binders are OK as long as they are of reasonable size and condition. I've seen some binders that must have six inch rings-- probably 100 pages...
Adam, I already have a website and in addition to hyperlinks you can also reference the images inline with your posting here on CT. The...
Well, there are people on this board that I think fit the description, starting with our host.
Hi all, The Rochester Area Coin Expo (RACE) will be held on this Sunday February 8, 2009 at the Doubletree Hotel (formerly Holiday Inn...
Nice coin! Thanks for adding the explanation that these weren't circulating. I would have wondered why I didn't see any during my business trip...
I believe that there may be several coin dealers in business that have names with "Chesapeake" in them. For example, there's one that regularly...
Can we join the party? Picked this up recently for Thalia Elizabeth (1/2 groat): [img] [img] Scratches on this one too... I bought it...
One of the local dealers had a price of $17 for the 2009 ASE. I hope we've convinced you not to pay $32!
I think the 2001-S proof isn't as expensive as it used to be. I was able to get one for a reasonable price for Thalia Elizabeth's Dansco book....
Thalia Elizabeth has a few in her collection, both Singapore and Straits Settlements but it's not something we focus on. I brought a few...
Separate names with a comma.
