Hah! likely doubled your money?
True, true. Hah, the trick is to sell on the inflationary "up-cline"! Easier said than done!
I would definitely say that the Mr. Shippee caught a good wave! He also held most of his coins for a long time - and most of them were coins that...
It has to be fun and interesting or it's probably better to put your money somewhere else - but it is a diversification strategy - and you...
I certainly agree with what everyone has said, but I do have a personal theory/strategy for some of my coin purchases. Always one to measure...
Ah, but what about the $20? The upper line in the bottom loop of the three is in the same place on both issues - but, the shape of it is...
Well - maybe. Here's another diagnostic picture from a different $10 (this picture is attributed to NGC, the first one was PCGS - the double eagle...
Wow - only one line, but it's in exactly the same position as the top line on the $20. Can't be a coincidence - and if they are both re-cut...
That's an interesting coin. Excellent!
Interesting - other 53/2 overdates? Can you suggest some? I'd like to see what they look like. I've tried some primitive overlays myself. It...
I see in Doug Winter's blog that there is controversy over the status of this Type 1 Double Eagle variety - as noted by NGC and PCGS now...
And a better picture of the 1806 half (didn't CAC - maybe because of the dings?) I might try taking it in again - in person: [ATTACH]
Interesting thought - here's a different, more recent pic of the capped bust - to me, the coin looks more original than in the first picture I...
Looking for original surfaces - maybe these two? [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Given how difficult it is to get a CAC sticker on an AU50, maybe AU53 is the new 50? The one I posted here yesterday is a CAC'ed 45.
I don't get the question?
Well, what happened? What did they grade? Here's one I have on approval right now. Wanna guess the grade and explain the toning around Liberty's...
I obtained an 1840 Charlotte half-eagle a while back and it got me doing some research on 1840 coins. Many of the coins minted that year are...
For your perusal and critique. This is one I own. It's graded XF45 PCGS. Nothing terribly special about it, no beautiful toning or anything,...
IMHO it was ugly to start with and still is - although I prefer the look of the dipped version - that said, the before and after dipping pictures...
