Tooled/scratched. Looks like somebody had too much time on their hands in History class while waiting for the pizza to be delivered.
Back to your original question. Let's say you travel to a two-day coin show and have a total of $1000 expenses and at that coin show you engage...
Well, I'm no tax expert but I do have opinions on your questions. First of all, I don't think it matters at all whether you call yourself an...
I tried to attribute the obverse and reverse to known dies in Bill Bugert's book on the SF half dollars and could not do so. My guess is the...
What's a tax refund? Anyway, I just spent mine on a box of cereal.
I decided a couple of months ago to unload three raw, mid-grade Indian Cents that I had picked up when I first started collecting and that are...

Unless your name ends in "Musk", you are probably right!
Please let us know if it beaned.

Just a quick scan of Amazon yielded dozens of archival glues and glue sticks. This just means that they are acid-free, not that they don't emit...
Larry, I make this this the F-103, Obverse 3 and Reverse C. There is a later die state of this die marriage, the F-103a with the C.2 reverse with...
To my eye, the obverse is awful and the reverse is barely acceptable. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I don't begrudge anyone...
The answer to your first question: Could a coin be artificially toned while encased in the major TPG slab? I think the answer is yes, but it...

Two recent pickups: The first is 1831 Capped Bust Half Dime, LM-2, R-3 acquired for the half dime die marriage set. Direct purchase from a...
Nice coin!. I make it GR-13 (Obverse 10 and Reverse K) and later die state. Reverse K was also used later with Obverse 11 to make GR-14.
Progress is great and you are doing that in spades. A couple of pointers for your consideration. The first rule of coin photography is have the...
Separate names with a comma.
