Here's one of those circumstances. This is a good example: http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1128&Lot_No=2333# This was an...
Well, unfortunately they have a good point. Because I've seen the "I don't know anything about coins" excuse given in just about every non-dealer...
I think all we're seeing is a good cross-section of collectors, over-all, that we already knew existed. To me, you can break it up into thirds....
I said 150.00- 200.00 range. You certainly don't see many 50-D's rainbow toned like a war nickel. This is maybe the first one I've seen,...
I got an NGC graded PF70 Ultra Cameo off ebay last year for $82. (The seller wasn't happy.) They may have went up though since there's no 2009s...
This isn't natural beauty? [IMG] There are thousands of regular MS-64 1885-Ps out there but how many bag toned examples like this exist that...
Yeah, thanks for those articles. It motivated me to get removed from the mailing list of 3 different places that have been sending me unsolicited...
"Like I said earlier, you are in luck for coming across this website. I have secured a small quantity of 1909 VDB cent coins. I assure you that...
I don't agree. The psychology of Ebay bidding at the end of an auction works like this: You don't want to give the previous high bidder an...
What kind of toning are we talking about here? Haze? White spots? Dark spots? Colorful toning? BTW, those are not dark patches on the...
No. I think you're getting a little carried away with that broad of an assumption. The vast majority of the time, for all issues considered, the...
The question remains. How do we have 1909's that look like they were minted yesterday? Here's one of mine. The luster is darker but it hasn't...
Don't really collect them too hard. They're just another type that I once in a while get the urge to add to the collection. I'm a big fan of...
I'm my own sniper. I don't need software. I type in my high bid and sit there and watch the time tick down. When that feature wasn't there...
3.5 hours to get there? Yikes! But I know how traffic can be out there. Sounds like a big show. Interesting to read everyone's reports....
Yeah, a silica gel bag designed to dehumidify 33 Cu. Ft. works wonders in an enclosed 1 Cu. Ft space for quite a while. But I've never been able...
It looks like it was a good deal for you. In that condition, most places will want a $1.00 a piece minimum just for dealing with them. On the...
I agree. I would imagine most coins that have been around for 100+ years weren't afforded near the consistant conditions people provide today.
First off, depending on the coin, most people will not leave their stuff in card board 2x2's. They work, they're fine and cheap for dealers...
Doug, I agree with the majority of what you're saying. The problem is, it's far more vast with far more factors involved than anyone can...
