I'm impressed in two ways. First, I worked in retail for over eleven years, and NEVER found an IHC in the till; and second, I didn't realize that...
Your instincts are telling you something. There are plenty of people on ebay looking to sell you problem and counterfeit coins. Problem is, coin...
I have a local dealer whom I usually never haggle prices with. Finally one day I asked if he had a 1938-D half dollar (which I was planning to...
Just from what I gather, you don't sound like a serious collector. So, selling the coin may be in your best interests. But, do your own market...
Excellent advice! I sat back and watched the people paying outrageous prices for 2009 coins they didn't find immediately in circulation. Yeah, the...
Don't be afraid to ask questions on Cointalk, especially when making one of those "key date" purchases. Chances are pretty good that someone here...
I keep the pre-1982 cents, and nickels dated 1959 and earlier. The cents have copper value, and the nickels are just old and I love nickels!
Judging by the way the Euro is going right now, I'd say it's pretty unlikely. Germany is the only solid market keeping the Euro afloat right now....

I'm just curious about the type of dealer you are purchasing from. Is he big or small, full time or a second income, coin dealer or everything...

Yeah, the listing is removed. But hopefully they watch this guy like a hawk. You don't accidentally get this dishonest!
I have to agree with you 100%. The process of leaving a neutral or the unforbidden negative feedback is more lengthy, and almost feels as if you...
Your best defense is to familiarize yourself with a particular series/ coin prior to buying from a dealer such as this. If he's not playing the...
Just don't get caught up in the bidding wars, and end up paying way too much for a coin you want badly. It can happen to the best of us!
Of course the downgrade was justifiable, considering our country's spending habits of the past couple of decades. The stock market will take a...
I don't believe it either. Our educational system isn't perfect, but there is no way that statistic is factual.
I can't say for sure if any of those coins are NT or AT. But, I can tell you that they are beautiful. I would be proud to display any of them in...
No Jim, I was bitten by the coin bug way back in grade school. But, I had lots of time to look at my collection with my right leg elevated.
