I've been at this for fifty years and just made another rookie mistake. There was nothing wrong with the posting, but I thought I'd discovered a...
I don't believe so, but if that floats your boat... Perhaps my experience is atypical.
They can't even get the basics right. I can't tell you how many Reverses of 97 have Reverse of 94 or Reverse of 95 labels. And that's pretty...
They are in early copper. In fact, I think less than half are correctly identified.
It was a Sales call. I think Paramount. And they had received 1,000 in MS70 and then they started comparing it to the 95 in population. I just...
Insurance that doesn't pay isn't really insurance. It's become standard to promise everything and deliver nothing via obfuscation and technical...
If it had low defect rates, I wouldn't loath them. It is COMMON.
As long as the cost of claims remains lower than the cost of inspection, then nothing will change. Most of the time a simple "Oops! Send it back...
Well, that might be a slight exaggeration. $200/$17.50= ~11.5 x spot. But still crazy in MHO.
I received a call this morning about the 2017-W Silver Eagle in Pf 70. I suppose that some people wouldn't mind paying 30 times the price of...
This has arrived and I'm pleased that the key identifiers are bolder in the copper than in the photos. But I have a really strong feeling that...
It has arrived and was a gripped edge. But the coin is meaty with a solid edge so I probably won't return it, even though improperly described....
I just sniped this one. It leaped from $31 to $163.61 in the last 5 seconds. But I still think it's good value. It's the second S-95 in just over...
Looking at the Heritage Archives and the Holmes sale, it appears that at least 4 of the 7 1797 NC-1s are also on concavo-convex blanks or at least...

Is it possible that this is the earliest "woody?" The layered look reminds me of the woodies some collect from the small cent series.
[ATTACH] Edge 1. I suppose the NC-1 should constitute another edge since it is only referred to as a 1796 edge, but neither edge 1 or 2 in...
I just found another S-121a with a similar wear pattern. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I'm not sure if it means anything yet, but this wear pattern reminds me of the 1796 concavo-convex blanks. If it was, then the chances of this...
Separate names with a comma.
