I have given my wife a POC to handle converting my collection to money. She has no interest in collecting. I get to spend money because she knows...
Thanks for the responses. Pretty much as I thought but was hoping someone more experienced might know something easier. I went through this when...
I'm looking at a new area of collecting, US Classic Head Half Cents (1809-1836). My rules: - I ignore 1831 and 1836 (you can probably guess why)....
I was looking at Ronald P. Manley's book The HALF CENT Die State Book/1793-1857 and in particular the Classic Head (1809-1836) section. There is a...

I have one DETAILS coin. It's a scarce (not rare) variety of an 1831 quarter. I grabbed it as quickly as I could. Maybe one day I'll be able to...
That coin is on my radar but WAAAAAY in the distance. I've got two other 5-figure coins that are waiting up front for me to win the lottery....

Yeh, that's it. Thanks. I get the impression that it's a better show.
