I won this 1893 IHC in the latest Great Collections auction to replace a lower grade one in my No Respect, No Respect at All NGC registry set. I...
I appreciate your update! I was thinking about you yesterday when I looked at the pocket piece you sent me several years ago. Life can be such a...
I started about a decade earlier but your phases pretty much like up with mine but I have a few additions. I was one of the ignorant ones who...
If it's a coin that I think I must have I'll bid a generous max right away. If it's a lesser coin that I think would be nice to have then I'll...
I agree. If an old copper cent still shows a lot of red in an old (10+ years) holder then I feel pretty confident that it will retain that color...
I got lucky with an 1860 IHC I purchased in a second generation green PCGS holder. It was graded MS64 but the main reason why I bought it was...
There once was a coin from Nantucket ...

I should have my son mail my dead body to PCGS or NGC to get slabbed. With my artificial knee I should get a details grade.
I'm proud to be banned from buying from them.
Straight grade? 53: yes, 47: no. I'd send both in anyway. I've had several similar raw dimes and half dimes I've had graded and got mixed...
I've sold all of my raw coins to my local coin shop. In the end he gave me a fair price for the thousands of items and I used the proceeds to...
Glad to hear from you! Every time I get on CT I'm hoping to read something from you to know that you are still with us.
I didn't notice the Wisconsin part even though I live there. Maybe I could get an "in state" discount.
I've probably sold in excess of 500 coins through GC the past 10 years and wouldn't consider using anyone else to sell my NGC and PCGS certified...
No, they issued extra large cents!
If anyone ever wanted to own this 1877 IHC it's really a big deal!...
