What is "MD"?
Soon after I began collecting coins in the 60's, I came under the impression that the one true way to grade coins was to use the ANA Grading...
I've heard it said that PCGS values are too high. Would you agree with that? If so, is that because their grading standards are high?
I gave it a VG-8. I'm no expert. A dealer would get what he could for it. If he could sell it for the price of a VG-8, he would.
Here's a picture of the coin.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I have an 1807/6 (large 1807, pointed 1) large cent in VG-8 condition. The 2016 Red Book values it at $80, the Numismedia website at $198, and the...
I just remembered another problem I have with shiny coins. I get my own reflection in them if I'm not careful.

I was going to put together a 20th century type set and try to sell it on eBay, but I was told that eBay is a rough (to say it mildly) place to do...
I wonder if there is much money in dealing coins.
I didn't used to like Barbers, but they've grown on me. They were the coins of my grandparents.
I'd hate to sell my collection.
If you are going to be a coin dealer, where do you find the coins you are going to sell?
I'll trade you my 1829 half dollar for yours. What's the grade on that?
I was going to say, "Post an old coin," but I was afraid everyone would be afraid to post a coin that wasn't as old as one posted previously, so I...
