Was it Groucho Marx that said it first? Kudos for remembering and double kudos if you came up with it on your own. I think it was from the movie...
Your list is well thought out. But it's perhaps too inclusive. I prepare for a show by taking the following: Messenger bag. In my case it's a...
I would try GooGone. It works for me. Use sparingly.
That's a great and simple solution. But, being an engineer and a machinist, I much prefer to make the solution something that fits the hammer I have.
Backer rod and other foams will certainly work and are easily cut and compressed to suit. The reason I didn't want to use these materials is...
I have been transferring my collection of slabbed coins from albums into Lighthouse Intercept boxes to save space and hopefully improve the...
1839 Philly mintage of 1,069,150. The Type II obverse which is the same hub for Miss Liberty as used on the 1837 Type I No Stars variety but with...
Your nice coin is almost certainly one of the Randall Hoard cents. My RH example is a 62BN but looks almost exactly the same. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I collect the Capped Bust Half Dime series, 1829 to 1837 by die marriage. This is a fun series to collect and collection options can be chosen to...

Yes, of course you are correct. I'm so focused on the Capped Bust series that I forgot about the Liberty Seated.
I was looking for a nice Feuchtwanger (FW) cent at FUN but couldn't find one. Glad you found this 3 cent and it's a nice one. I suspect that...
Well, you're the best judge since you have it in hand. But I believe I see corrosion pitting on the reverse that has been cleaned off. So, I...
My only one: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
@kanga I feel your pain. It can be very difficult to attribute the Matron large cents. I collect capped bust half dimes by die marriage and die...
Very nice @fiddlehead. Was the 1840 first date of issue, your date of issue?
Most of the dealers that I buy from already have their material priced. It's usually less-common and harder, if not impossible, to replace coins....
What a superb idea with the confluence of interests. Nice set to boot.
New half dimes from FUN show in early January. Nothing rare, just some nice higher-grade additions to the die marriage collection. [ATTACH]...
Would the same logic apply if you were watching a collector cherry pick a valuable coin from an unsuspecting dealer? How about if a collector...
