I'm jealous. You did well!
Agree completely. The name Grey Sheet is fitting since their numbers fall into a grey area.
Thanks for the info about what C-1 means. I may just have to read up on half cent varieties.
I checked some auction examples and I would guess AU 55 , C-1. Don't ask me what C-1 means but the examples with that attribute seemed to have a...
I never look at price guides anymore. I know people who spend money on a new Redbook every year. To me they are buying another book for their...

I agree with you. It all depends on how much money I either have or am willing to spend. Some coins I want are just too expensive. For higher...
I wanted an early Lincoln matte proof and bought a 1909 details (questionable color) example. I spent several hundred dollars for it but at the...
At first I thought it was the scotch but then realized this was an animation.
