You're right, it's a $5 half eagle and it weighed 8.351 grams on my new fancy scale! :happy:
That may be the most beautiful toning I've ever seen! Gorgeous Maple Leaf! Wanna sell it? :smuggrin:
Thanks guys! Glad it wasn't total waste of money! :happy:
Yeah I paid $14.99 for it, and I just checked and the same seller is selling them for $8.88 now, 1 month later. I could almost buy 2 of them now...
Well I own just one Ancient. I actually bought it off of Amazon, you know, that haven for serious numismatics? I can hear the groans! :rolleyes:...
Young as in physiologically? Or new to the hobby? Because while I'm new to the hobby I'm an ON. LOL!
Thanks Zumbly, please throw my name into the winning hat! This is very generous of you, thanks! Umm, what's a YN? :confused:

Thanks for your sage advice Paddy. Like you said, I got what I paid for. I'm happy with it and that's all that really matters, right? Lately I...
What can I say, I'm a sucker for eye appeal. Since I've only been collecting for a couple of months I will probably fall for a lot of newbie...
I think I just scored a great deal this morning! Can someone help me decide on the grade of this coin? I'm pretty sure it's a VF, but what level?...
The first coin was graded by NGC, the 2nd one was PCGS.
Oh I get it, but I personally wouldn't give you $10 for either coin, professionally graded or not! Well, maybe I would, but I'd turn right around...
If you act fast you can own this lovely Mercury Dime for a paltry $1420! [IMG] Would someone care to explain to me how this ugly coin can get...
Not to mention the cost! Yikes! Nice set! I don't even want to guess how much the set cost you. :greedy:
