Not as many coins a year as you'd think. I think I just sent 11 coins to PCGS late last year...and might have sent 10-20 to NGC last year. Prior...
Plus, PCGS already gave the 1981 their seal of approval (although that was 3 years ago, who knows what they'd do in 2021.)
It had a COA since it wasn't just the regular Whitman Lincoln Memorial Cent album, the first page had two aluminum Abraham Lincoln medals - so...
I think there is always a market for toned coins, especially with interesting patterns. The main question is...will the coin grade, where will...
Finally getting around to imaging a coin after a loooooong while. Some of you might actually remember when and where I picked it up - almost...
Well, I could send it in for encapsulation/attribution. I'm not sure what an incomplete/minor mint clip is worth, or whether this coin would be...

Pulled this 1972 Kennedy Half from a tube of "coins to look at a little more closely later on." At first glance, looks like an ordinary curved...
Fun update: Filed a case for my cousin's missing box of gifts. It's made it as far as the wrong end of Montana (Billings, they live near...
FWIW, the check was traveling from Boston to Philadelphia. Took two weeks. On another note, a package containing Christmas gifts for my cousin's...
It is for this exact reason that I chose not to send a similar group of coins to a certain prestigious auction House. Anything valued under $500...
The takeaway lesson I would personally get from this story is that you will tend to get more back when you sell on your own to other collectors...
...because it is part of a marketing campaign to garner further donations to the SA.
I dunno...I feel like it's a 66 to me, but somewhere in my brain is saying it's in a 65 slab. Or...was...in a 65 slab. This reminds me I have...
Buddy of mine in KC actually found one of these in a group a customer brought into the shop. Got a small finder's fee for his honesty, ended up...
