@green18, sorry for being off-topic but I love your avatar. The first time I saw the Unknown Comic on the old Gong Show back in the '80s, I quite...
Here's one of my favorite problem coins. Purchased for 50% of Greysheet 3 years ago at a time when I thought I might never spend $3000 for a...
Cool! I love to add to my library. More tonnage for my kids to deal with.
Here's the other side of the SDB debate since we are indulging in anecdotes: My parents had a SDB at the McCoy Federal Credit Union for 25 years...
Clashy clash clash, both sides.
That's not a bad habit - it's a great one. Unless you've bought a book that I want.
Shoot, what's the matter with you guys? Don't you want to win this contest? My best advice is: Buy @physics-fan3.14 book!
What two books are you seeking? For half dimes, the references I have in addition to the CBHD website we both use: - Valentine, the 1975...

The first one is an LM-4, R-2, pretty common. At first I thought it might be the LM-6 which is an R-6, quite rare but it's not. A $125 cost...
It would just be heart-breaking to present a list of stolen coins to the authorities and to then have your claims disbelieved. Yes, better safe...
While recording the cited information is essential, that information is not sufficient. Many investigating authorities such as police, insurance...
