I've collected pricey stuff in the past, and now I collect cheap. The fun is there one way or another.
My collecting aesthetic is to waste money and acquire useless information. :)
I think you're a good kid, frostyluster. Keep up the good work. You might have chosen a different coin to discuss cleaning though, because...
I suspect Stevie Wonder is working for NGC.
Haha! The drive wasn't bad. And there was another shop just a mile away that had drawer-fulls of neatly organized Kennedys for my perusal, so...
The wear along the line from 12 to 6, straight down the middle of the obverse makes it AU. Compare it to MS examples and you'll see. But sometimes...
Nice bunch of Kennedy Half Dollars for my set. [IMG] As I was going through these, my 13-year-old son became very interested and sat through the...

That's a nice coin. If only it could tell the history of its travels.
Does anyone know which RPM this is? I don't have a complete catalogue. I know it isn't 001, 002, or 003. [img] Also, does that look like a DDR,...
I lived in Boston for 20 years and visited that shop a few times - got some nice pieces there. I feel for the dealer. He's a good guy - obviously...
Yeah, I'm sorry I don't have any documentation to back that up. I just remember reading somewhere, sometime, that it was the "hobby of kings",...
So I went to a shop yesterday, not three miles from my house... The place was a mess - merchandise strewn everywhere in no particular order,...
I've bought plenty of slabs, but in every case I wanted the COIN. I once collected rare gold, and you've gotta be very VERY careful about...
