It would be really cool if this seller could put up for auction the original laser printer from the 50's that was used to print the bar coded labels.
For me it's a toss up between Barbers, Standing Liberties and Walking Liberties, which is ironic considering that they are perhaps the most...
I like the William IV portrait. It's very well executed and looks ahead of its time. Your coins could be mistaken for 20th century pieces if not...
Since the gold and silver buyers don't specialize in numismatic coins, they probably have to sell them off for wholesale unless the occasional...
It seems to me that there would be a lot of ways to accelerate wear artificially so that no one could tell the difference. For example, you could...
I'd leave it in the slab for authentication purposes. I'm too worried about counterfeits, even of common stuff, to buy this type of coin raw....
I think it's a sister company of PGCS.
I love the surfaces, especially on the reverse. It looks like it's starting to retone.
It's actually the $100,000 note you are referring to. Even though there was no $1M bill, $100,000 during the early 1930's would be more than $1M...
Auction records are where it's at. I've stopped using other price guides. Personally I think the advent of online auction data has rendered...

Wear and bag marks are also damage, technically speaking, and we have a objective scale (sort of...) for quantifying that. It's interesting how...
That was my first thought also. It's still the currency of a communist nation that is into major manipulation of not only its currency but of its...
I would take a "first strike" 1793 Chain cent, not only for the value but also because nobody in our day has ever seen the true mint red color of...
Impressive! Very nice detail.
Here's a Cleveland commem I picked up on the Bay. It has just enough toning to suggest that it wasn't recently dipped. Since it appears to be...
Some interesting examples of Socialist Realism on the reverses, especially the one showing nationalization of foreign companies. Apparently the...
Those are the two best designs by far! I have a 1921 2 Peso but not the Caballito; if I remember right those are a bit more pricey.
I saw a Bombay for the first time just the other day here in Alabama. I haven't seen a Saratoga yet.
Ditto! I'm also thankful to have so many opportunities to learn about the hobby, this site being a prime example. That has allowed me to be more...
Separate names with a comma.
