I like PCGS and NGC because they will even put your coin in the holder for you.;)
I don't have a problem with the cost of supplies going up, I have a problem with coins being so expensive now. Seems like everything has tripled...
That is a bit high, but for a matching proof set of that era, maybe not. I really don't like the toning either, it is just too much. Also,...
Whitman folders will change the color of your coins over time. I have an old Kennedy collection that I did in the eighty's these were all fresh...
Somebody give pennsteve a hug. Can't say that i disagree though, obviously this is a damaged post 1982 cent, and I wonder why anyone would spend...
Looks like post mint damage to me.
That is still a nice set, many collectors would love to have it just based on rarity. I'm just thankful that there was no gold proofs in that...

Holy Smokes, as a proof collector, this is tragic and should be sent to me for a proper burial. But really, how could they be treated that way?...
I think that it is just an illusion of seeing it in two dimensions. I'm quite sure that in hand, it is obviously a squeeze job. There is no way...

Although I pride myself as a C, I don't really know what sparked my interest in the first place or why I will give up going to lunch for two weeks...
There is not enough information to make that call. It would all depend on collector demand. Recently the statehood quarter program sent...
I would ask about $30.00 for the 1842 and about $20.00 for the 1844 due to the surface corrosion on the obverse.
I'm not sure that anyone knows the mintage figures conclusively. Perhaps that is the reason for much of its mystique. Whatever the number, the...
It should be mentioned that cpm9ball, mrbrklyn and joedas also correctly answered. Joedas is only 17 so I thought a second place prize was in...
Congratulations to Numis-addict for being the first with the correct answer. The 1964-D Peace Dollar. The 64 Peace dollar was produced in the...
I'm not sure that is necessary, all coin collectors are widely known to be a very trustworthy bunch. I just didn't see an indication of age,...
I have had a potential winner, I am awaiting a reply regarding their age. I will post the answer and a little history of the coin as soon as I...
