I picked up this SWEET Roosevelt dime in circulation! It has the BADDEST toning you've ever seen. Ridiculous neon greens on the obverse,...
I use a full-size tripod; probably about the 42" one you describe, but the legs telescope, and I can make it as short as about 16 inches. I like...
Why did you have to do that?
Okay. You're asking about series, not necessarily about denomination, just to clarify. Second, why do you immediately apologize to "flamers."...
As a dealer, I strongly urge you to just pay whatever the dealer asks. As a collector, I begrudgingly admit that yes, you should haggle over...
That is, by far, the most evil coin I have ever seen. You must send it to me. Immediately upon receipt I will douse it in holy water, chant over...

I would go on an Alaskan cruise. At a port-of-call, I would wander up a glacier to photograph grizzlies. Just as I'm setting up my tripod,...

Nifty. The half cent is a VG-8 -- love to see those. The Indiant cent is also a VG-8, and it might even be a genuine coin. I mean, the...
Billy, Don't undersell yourself, my man. That's absolutely fantastic. Seriously...that story and pic deserve a Coin World article.
Awww...that's pretty stereotypical, don't you think? I mean, I might be a big boy, but that doesn't mean that all coin collectors are big boys....
Baked in potatoes? With butter? I had heard you use corn oil when baking coins in potatoes. I guess I'm off in the morning for a bag of Idaho...
If there's no detail on it to the contrary, I'd say it's just an old copper or copper-alloy blank. What makes you think it's any kind of coin?
That's fantastic. Congratulations.
If you do a little searchie on this website you'll see that, in general, asking questions about artificially toning coins is frowned upon. I...
