Slabbing can put a premium on a coin. Coins slabbed by PCGS tend to sell high. I imagine a collector with a bunch of money would rather by...
I agree. While it may not do any good, I think next time I will ask if I could bid on a few things and have them bid on the rest. Maybe they will...
Exactly. Working only part time on min wage, (and now without a job), I can only add to my collection slowly. If they want to buy silver coins on...
Thanks for the help. I thought it might of been a bad dip, but now I know for sure. Toning works in mysterious ways, and I'm learning how to tell...
I agree with mostly everyone's comments. I too hardly ever see good coins at auctions. It usually if a elderly couple dies, and their contents...
how come on the early slq's it only goes up to vf-35?
Most of us coin collectors don't buy a whole bunch at a time, not unless we can get it dirt cheap. If I buy a couple pieces, John buys a couple...

Very nice coin, but why are the fields (the smooth areas), so uneven looking?
Stupid question, but what is a specimen strike? Is that the same as a proof?
I bought the 1832. Figure that if it is a EF-40, it's worth around $150. Guy has a 7 day return policy, so I will have have time to take pics and...

NVM. Bid was at $102.50, which was good, but I hammered up to 140 and it wouldn't budge. Here is the eBay link if anyone else wants to take a...
