I totally agree. For me "quality" means that the coin is problem free for its grade, regardless of whether it is graded G4 or MS65. With my...
It's nice to imagine getting a penny in change from a $10 bill after buying something for $9.99. The sales tax is so high where I live that I...
I'm part way through the book now after downloading it. Thanks for the great recommendation! It is interesting that before the hyperinflation...
Here's an MS63 Liberty nickel I took a chance on for just under $89 with shipping: [IMG] [IMG] And here's what I got: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
As a related question, I've always wondered which TPG is more lenient in this regard, NGC or PCGS. Is it just me, or is NGC more likely to slab...
Picked up a nice circulated 1859 last week. I've always wanted a decent problem free example of a copper nickel cent, particularly the 1859 since...

Wouldn't tens of thousands be quite a low number if there was significant demand? Even if we don't consider packaging, 200K is pretty low. From...
Today I picked up an RFK $1 commemorative in its complete original packaging. When I got home I pulled completed auctions on Ebay to see how I...
There are lots of certified problem free examples on Ebay and other sites to choose from.
I've been wanting to find a nice certified CN Indian cent for my type collection. A good number of the ones I have seen on Ebay in the AU range...
I do know that the word "boat" is actually an acronym that stands for "Break Out Another Thousand" and that the word "golf" came about because all...
I have to agree with both of these points. Comparing coins with fishing and golf could be apples and oranges for a lot of people. However, since...
That's what I was afraid of... This is living proof that coins as a whole are not a great investment, at least not in the past couple decades....
Is this graph adjusted for inflation or is it based on nominal dollar values?
Before I read any of the posts I voted 58. I also thought that it had significant wear not only on the leg but also on the eagle's breast and top...
I like the original look that this coin has. If this was a "guess the grade" I would have definitely chosen at least 63.
If I was buying this coin I wouldn't care if it had a CAC sticker or not because I really like the toning, and I would assume that many others...
I think the toning looks great, I would choose this over a white coin in a heartbeat.
