Neat coins! But, collectors do not need a slab to tell them that a coin is off center. Having them slabbed would probably be a waste of money.
But then nobody would be able to see it! :( This is actually the main reason that I choose coins based almost solely on appearance, I like to...
Posted this in the roll searchers thread about a month ago, then realized that all they talk about in there is silver. Found my first 1999 WAM!...
Probably used clear epoxy. That is a pretty sweet looking floor! But, is it legal? The cost in pennies would be $2.56 per ft^2 if you laid them...
Glad to help, but there are others prowling these forums that could provide more concrete advice than I. They will be asking for photos of the...
When purchasing a coin, always make your decisions based on YOUR interpretation of coin condition. This goes for raw coins and slabbed coins,...
This is a good point. The quarter shown above is the first attempt that I have made at coin "cleaning". I have not cleaned coins in the past,...
I figured that the cost of getting coins graded was expensive. But now that I have read through this thread, I realize that it is freakin...
Picked up $100 worth of pennies a few weeks ago. Been through the 1st 2 boxes and there hasn't been a single copper cent in any of the rolls,...
Worrying about people's psychological response to coin design changes seems a bit like coddling. Try this, "Here people, this is the new 25 cents,...
I think that this is a more representative measure of what a person is willing to spend on a coin. In your case, regardless of actual dollar...
Focusing on a year/mint set of a specific type of coin is not the only way to collect. I would personally suggest starting out as a type...
It seems as though a lot of you sell on Ebay. Why not utilize this site? There is a For Sale Forum, and the ridiculous fees could be avoided. This...
I guess I do not understand the motivation to buy either of the sets. Why spend $700 on coins that were minted last year? $700 could be used to...
Starting an auction at a price, having a reserve, or using Buy It Now are basically the same thing, and they all bother me equally. I feel that...
It's not so much "how much do you spend on coins", as everybody's situation is different. I think the more interesting statistic would be how much...
I search pennies for errors. I do it because I have this treasure hunting itch that constantly needs to be scratched. Searching coin rolls is a...
Interesting. Maybe there was a mis-struck coin or something and a mint employee swapped it out for a penny from his pocket.
My favorite slab is no slab. But as far as slabs go, I like the NGC prongs the best. I almost feel bad about cracking those coins out.
Gave this method a try tonight on the barber quarter in my type collection display. I have been planning on replacing the coin because the blotchy...
