Well for starters, I doubt any museum is in the Registry. I have to believe there are some mighty fine sets just in museums. And if we look at...
For me, I completed the set and that was the journey. I reached the destination. At the time, I felt I had achieved what I wanted to with that...
I think B-C-D-E can be a continuous loop. I've discovered new interests, learned more, collected, completed a collection, and pared it down - I've...
I do like the bust halves. I guess I can toss one in here. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I honestly don't buy many circulated coins, except for bust halves. But here's a little trifle graded NGC EF-40. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Congrats! That is a truly impressive and creative set. I love it, and I know you've been working on it for quite a while.

The 1921s look suspicious enough for me to stay away from the whole lot unless I could inspect in person. Both of the 21s are fakes. I think the...
Hard to tell which coins you have displayed here, but especially Chinese Cash Coins were designed with a hole to be stored on a string like you show.

For me, NGC is by far my preferred TPG. This is largely due to the sort of things I have collected. I really got serious with Franklin Halves, and...
I believe the primary function of holes in coins is to more easily attach them to a hat and look super cool.
Oh, you know how to get my goat, don't you ;) Nice coin, even if I philosophically disagree. Besides the planchet roughness disagreement, the...
Lol, in 1990 I wasn't even old enough to earn allowance. I was happy with a cookie while I watched Wheel of Fortune. Vanna White taught me to...
The listing and surrounding details indicate scam. Avoid, of course. I honestly don't see anything wrong with the picture, though... it looks...
Thanks for the warning. The texture seems off on these, especially on the rim.
Larry, knowing your passion for your coins... and some of the very interesting pieces you have, this seems to be a difficult but logical decision....
I watch a lot of Youtube videos. One of my favorite channels is Jason from Mount Baker Mining and Metals. He owns a gold mine on the west coast,...
I like the PCGS list better. It is a cleaner presentation of the date ranges, even if the Red Book is technically more accurate. The PCGS list...
Yes, I read what you wrote. I don't believe it is wear - I believe it is a weak strike. 1920's era San Fran coins are notoriously poorly struck....
