Go to a local coin club meeting. They should know reputable local dealers -- to appraise your collection. Plus, I bet you'll get plenty of...
I got the latest Dan Carr "Octagon" at the Denver Coin Expo May 5th: [IMG] [IMG]...
Of course, get a coin that YOU like. That said, I'm partial to Walking Liberty half dollars. Or a Civil War era coin -- if you can find a nice...
I leave most of my coin rolls in the paper wrappers. No problems so far. For example, years ago I inherited some Lincoln cent rolls from my...

Completeness and Quality. My nearly-complete circulated Walker set is mostly nice VG-to-VF coins. Always looking to upgrade a few disappointing...
If you're a collector, why bother grading? Enjoy 'em in the original packaging... that's what I'm doing. OTOH, if you plan to sell, grading makes...

The website must've been updated sometime this morning. Not updated when I checked last night. Definitely pull the trigger ASAP if you want the...
I just placed my order for the high-grades -- all 3 Walkers, the 1915 Quarter & Dime. Can't wait to see these fantasy overstrikes in-hand. I've...
If it grades PF70 Ultra Cameo, then it's worth the slab. $100+ on ebay. But if it grades PF69 Ultra Cameo, then it's worth much less. $35 - $40...
I've bought a few AU "details" coins... cheap & silver & old & U.S. But I draw the line at holes or similar damage. Never buy 'em.
I'm in for 1 or 2. Depends if there are Proof and Uncirculated versions. Big question is mintage limit. I'm guessing 100k -- same as the...
