To paraphrase, :) It depends on the collector. Doug dislikes test cuts, but not as much as holes. I can put up with a small hole made in antiquity...
That is where I was at, but like @Gilbert its always a weird series for me to grade.
Lol, we all do that. I would never want to know how many typos I have typed here on CT. I wasn't trying to be "smart" or call you out on it, just...
But didn't the emperor sit for the busts that were then sent out to mints to make coins? I would say you can judge a coin based on how realistic...
You mean the 1838 O?
It was the Wayfair Supreme Court case that required this. Horrible decision overturning Quill. Worst part is Ebay charges sales tax on goods not...
Wow, didn't see the colorized announcement. Make me sad. Next we will be seeing banjo shaped coins, etc. I would love something like Austria does...

Yeah, but is that why you buy a red book? While I never understood once a year purchases, its nice to have an "all in one" book of US coins. Of...
Plus the whole undervaluing rarities and overvaluing very common coins endemic in all catalog prices. I have written about this and why...
Heck, I find questions I have from old posts on CT all of the time. The embarrassing ones are the ones where I answered them 8 years ago but...
Depends on what he is into. Someone into early US history you can get one or two nice Continental Currency's. I like the group idea. One each...
Makes me sad seeing these coins. Sad because I wasn't smart enough to buy the folders in the 1980s with rolls of these one sided toners in them. I...
He is a troll, and in the grand internet scheme of things, not an especially memorable one. Respond to something posted if it makes your point or...
Should be a 63, but guessing 64.
Eagle must be reading about politics today......
