Congrats!
I am sure a lot of us can not tell the difference between 69 and 70. :)
When investigating sellers - check what they sell and what they buy if possible. Also read both the positive and negative feedback. Sometimes...
Do more research on the seller. My conclusion is he buys a lot of questionable coins and sells a lot of raw shiny coins. Just my own humble...
Yes - I reported it. And send a question telling the seller it is fake. I am wondering at that price they knew it was a fake and hoped someone...
I agree with Lance - retoning over an old cleaning and not necessarily in a good manner. And I also agree with Doug - find a nice gun metal grey...
I would say there was a little too much lighting. The older white anacs holders (and NGC white holders) tend to impact what the coins look like in...
You can go through the listings and report them as you see fit. They might start pulling some of those PCI auctions.
Finally found my records - only paid 47 for my 65. Not sure why I put $70 in both my tracking spots. Any I think rodeoclown is correct - if they...
I like topcats recommendation. Make him a fair offer, let him counter and go from there.
That is a nice one to start with - now you only have 60 more to go. Well depending if you include the CUNI and flying eagles. :)
That seems a little high. I am not knocking the price - I know I paid around $70 for my 65 and it seems like the prices have dropped some since I...
No - I disagree and I do not think we are in the golden age of collecting. Yes - more are buying and more are collecting. There is good and bad...
Well if you join heritage I would recommend actually reading the terms and conditions and not just scrolling through them. I actually think you...
Can't say about the Frankies, but the large cent I would call AG damaged (and would probably net it lower). No problem with the other grades.
I think you are correct. When I feel I really want to win a coin I bid up to retail for the coin - a couple of case more. I have seen a lot of...
Yep - I am sure a few will flame you. Not me - it is just an opinion. I won't pay a premium for a CAC sticker, but I might for the coin in the...
Just for clarification. Not by itself - when I first got the book it was too tough to do late dates. Then I got grellmans book from toad. I...
Newcomb book is not as easy to read - but I do find that with it and the grellman book the late date large cents are easier to nail down. The...
Nice present - glad you enjoyed it.
