Is your fathers coins graded or raw? Is he buying from a trusted dealer? I also see where I could buy a nice AU coin for a few dollars more...
LOL - Congrats. :)
Very true. Empty mint holders sometimes draw crazy money on ebay.

I like it also. One thing I have found when photographing them is to use different color back grounds. Even then you might have to tweak the...

Very nice!
Well - this post help me make up my mind. And I agree with Doug. Buyers gain and sellers loss. My local shop does not attribute coins when they...
Nothing weird about an obsession. :) Most of what I collect does not have mint marks at all, but I do like the O on the 1839 half on the obverse....
Huh - how can you know this? You must read the whole post. :) I can't make it two or three lines before I know the stomping has already started so...
