A nice looking AU-58 with pretty toning. But that scratch, if that's what it is, is pretty severe and is right in the focal zones. I think it...
I presume you use a dessicant in your safe. If you don't, you should. And if you don't, then sealing up your coins in a ziploc bag as you've...
Yes, I have always suspected that the raw coins are not quite the color endowed by nature. I have about four of them and they are pretty but I...
I have been in contact with him twice, yesterday and again today. He tells me that eBay customer service was supposed to have fixed the problem...
These trees are down now and money spent. Caught the big one coming down mid-fall in the second photo. [IMG][ATTACH]
I already had the 3rd edition and I just ordered the 5th off eBay but I didn't know about the errata publication. I just printed them out for the...

The site listed them: "INGS - International Numismatic Grading Service. This firm lasted for about two years in the late 1980s."
Anybody heard of this outfit? A Google search doesn't turn up anything but I did find the name in a list of "others" on the website of a company...
Overload! Overload! Too cool!
It has a little rub on the cheek but I'll bet the graders call that "cabinet friction". Downplayed luster. I'm calling it 65 for those two...
You got some very good and detailed information about safes. Having done my own research a couple of years ago prior to purchase, here's what I...
Nicely done. Very similar to what I do with my type set. For each coin, I print out a little strip of paper with the "type" that is represented...
As we've come to expect, @johnmilton, your coins are spectacular for eye appeal. I saw your early half dime collection on display at the 2020 FUN...
