At this point, I'm imagining a vest bedecked with a full set of holey Indians. That would be super cool.
You do have a fondness for holey coins, now, don't you? Haha, I like it.
Cool. Have fun!
Well, not a single picture you took is in focus, so I can't see a single thing you mentioned. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, however,...
Are you looking to fill a folder? Searching for varieties? Just like looking at coins you don't see often? I'm curious what your "exciting...
Yes, NGC offers this service. I've never used it, and I've never talked to anyone who has. I have no idea how good it is. But, they offer to look...
I throw scratched up, corroded, ugly wheats into the coinstar every time I go. I've thrown a few dateless buffalos in there too.
I'll be honest, I hadn't seen the term before. I was just trying to rationalize a use for it, in certain circumstances.
If it is a well-studied die, with a prominent known cud, then I could see using the term. Some early US coins (bust halves, etc) have multiple die...
What kind of premium do these sell for? Should I be keeping an eye out for it?
I have these little easels that I got from Wizard. They hold a 2x2 perfectly, and they are also designed to hold a slab. Bonus, they also hold...

I buy from dealers all around the globe. I've never had a problem. It takes a bit longer to get here, but if I buy from reputable dealers I'm not...
What percentage of coins in general are "junk"? The prime stuff that we buy and show off here is a minority compared to the millions of low grade,...
That seems like a fairly significant DDO. I'd imagine it's worth a premium, even in that condition.
The approach to grading is honestly very similar to most other series. Cheek and hair over the ear on the obverse, and the eagle's breast and...
The coin in the Ebay auction linked isn't even an off-center coin! There are no design details missing. At best, I'd call it broadstruck. I'd...
Y'all guessing 62 are being really harsh on this coin! In today's grading, this would probably be a 65 5FS. As someone else mentioned, this...
There's plenty of good stuff on ebay. You just have to avoid the fakes. For many of us here, this isn't a huge problem.
The problem with that coin is that it has seen circulation wear. The high points are usually the weakest struck because it takes the most force to...
