It is something they keep listing without any apparent bearing in reality, and they do jigger the percentages as you can see slight changes from...
I just started getting into Barbers. What amazes me is how hard it is to get a mintstate one at a reasonable price! $180 for a common dime in...
An ultracam PR69/70! Make sure you get it photo-proofed and secure holdered. Then I would send it to CAC.
I knew of no coin dealer in Connecticut that offered to get coins submitted for grading for you, so I first went through the ANA then Collector...
As long as I can remember, the CDN has featured a run-down of grading services like PCGS, NGC, ANACS, ICG, and then others which are much lesser...
That's what the dealer I spoke with yesterday said. I guess he needed some serious help, was in denial like Sandusky, and someone in jail got...
With both PCGS and NGC running around $25 for their "regular" and "early bird" services respectively and $15 or so for their economy services...
Thanks for that overview, Chris. I have seen the more notable of his books at the public library.
PCGS is now also giving grade level with the no-grade coins like this, but you have to ask for it. So "Fine" or VF details would be a plus to...
A dealer at a show the other day mentioned Walter Breen and what happened to him in his last years. It seems his greatest work in authoring books...
Thanks for the expert opinions. The reserve was around $6K first time around. It should be worth AU58 money anyway and will bid accordingly....

Good point! You go to a big show, Whitman, the ANA shows, etc. and what do you see predominantly on the bourse floor? Certified common coins,...
What I am passionate about is the proliferation of truth, classical knowledge and culture, and consumer rights. In terms of coins, I get...
I didn't get there until around 1pm so probably much of the good stuff had been snapped up. Buyers like Steinmetz and David Carr were there at...
I was at a coin show today and there were quite a few Bust halves on the Scranton bourse floor, but hardly any in mintstate. I picked up a couple...
One advantage with ANACS is if they do call the coin "problem" in whatever form they will list VF25, XF45, AU55, not just AU details. Are they or...
In the last 12 years even well-performing rare coins like this have been out-paced by precious metals. 1660/255 = over 6.5 (gold) 15000/2750 =...
Go get 'em, Coingeezer! Probably a Littleton employee fighting back and paid to do so. They have a lot of mouths to feed up in northern New...
