And probably MUCH more than that if the seller is unethical. Someone would certainly pay a few bucks for a known fake 1916-D, though, just to get...
Piker. If it's a real 1916-P dime with a "D" added, I'll see your 11 cents and raise you a buck! :D
If this is the "stupidest" coin buy you ever make, then you will be VERY blessed! It may not have been what you expected, but the price wasn't...
I use the CW holders to have a more consistent presentation with my slabbed key dates. I agree that they're being used deceptively (not...
Not to take away from your general point, but I believe there's a fourth reason: authentication. I know quite a bit about grading and spotting...
Nice coins, but as others have said, not 66's. To me, these seem backwards. The '80-S looks better than the '02-O to me -- the '02-O has a lot...
Posted here: http://www.cointalk.org/showpost.php?p=14021&postcount=10 Did we have a Week 14 winner? I don't see it posted.
Not yet. I'm pretty new to the area. Lived in California almost all my life until I transferred out here last year. The difference in cost of...
It usually means that there was some foreign object between the planchet and the dies before striking, and that the coin was "struck through" the...
Hard to say with the small scan, but this looks like a pretty nice coin from these small pictures. Early S-mint Morgans are fairly frequently...
Reminds me of all the bicentennial quarters my mother-in-law hoarded, regardless of condition. She had plenty of XF/AU pieces, and no matter how...
XF in terms of wear. There are a few problems on the obverse and would be net graded down from there. It's neither a $20 coin nor a $500 coin...

Both are 1879 Morgans without a mint mark (made in Philadelphia). The first coin looks AU to me; the second XF (though I can't see the obverse...
Not that *that* matters. It's well known that Washington didn't like the idea of being on money; many of the founders wanted to get away from...

Probably true -- but it's always interesting to look at a trend over the course of many years. While I'd never use the Red Book to determine the...
Short answer: probably not. Can you give a link to the auction? Based on what you've said, the seller did describe the coin accurately and it...
In my opinion, you're partially right. I prefer the look of a well presented, unslabbed set, but I can't deny today's market realities. If...
