So I understand. But MFD says avoid the summer FUN.
In this case I should have gone higher. The variety was an R-8. And I suspect there aren't many collectors working the Browning varieties of...
I've been to 3 local shows: - Hagerstown - NOVA - Vienna Some good dealers set up at them. - Angel Dee's, but Andy is a small cent (and...
Luck is still on my side. I'm in Maryland. No state tax on coins over $1000. I only recall one time kicking myself (hard) for not really...
The way I look at it is if I can find one from a dealer at a show for $5000, why should I pay more. If I don't win the auction I'll look around at...
I'm watching a coin on Heritage. I've checked all the catalogs (paper and online) that I know of and have arrived at a value. Let's say that I...
Agreed. Any issues I collect as a set will have one better grade coin that stays with the set and doubles with my type set. The set that I have...
Showoff time (well, that's in part what coin collecting is about :D). I only have one nickel 3-cent; it's for my type set. It's a PCGS MS-65. I...
Tough set, especially well struck. Nickel was a new metal for the Mint and its hardness gave them fits.
Oops, you're correct (piqued). Don't tell my wife; I'd be in big trouble. She's an ex-English teacher (33 years). As for the 2¢ coins, I bought...
Ouch! I pulled my Manley book down. Looks like about 15 Cohen varieties of the just 1794 half cent. Now you've got me interested. At least I'll...
Yeh, type sets seem to never end.
The most recent one I tried for was going to be purchased at the last Baltimore Whitman Show. But by the time I asked the dealer to set it aside...
The NGC type set also has three SLQ's whereas most only have two. After the Variety 1 (no stars below the eagle) they differentiate between the...
I went with the Red Book for this issue. This is what NGC had in their type set: 1c CORONET (1816-39) 1c BRAIDED HAIR (1839-57) Here's what the...
Because the marks all appear to be bag marks, I'll go with MS-63 (but wouldn't be surprised at MS-62).
I didn't even know Whitman had a type set album. Talk is generally of the Dansco 7070. What is the album number?
I had one but can't remember what I did with it. All I want is a common date (well, I guess they all are) in MS-66 RD.
Those are the ones I'm missing. Early Commemoratives are another one of my sets.
I fixed the link. The space in the filename was the problem. Works now (at least it did for me.)
Separate names with a comma.
