Ordering a copy tonight. Looks like an interesting read.
Good advice. Taking a chance now and again can pay off, but it's really important to only buy within your comfort zone and take precautions. I...
New pickup. Capped Bust 25C 1833 B-2 O/F (FS-901) [IMG] [IMG] This variety is a marriage of the rusted obverse die from 1833 B-1 (note the...
Of course, but they still should have just used a box. The slab is not packaging for the coin, it is part of the product. It is fragile and not...
He also says you can return the rolls for a refund if they are unopened and not tampered with. Couldn't you just weigh them unopened and have a...
Slabs need to be shipped in boxes. They are plastic. Even if a slab mailed that way doesn't break, it gets stressed and becomes more brittle.
Just as with anything, the more people there are the more bad people there are. Most of what I buy is from local dealers or shows, but some of my...
For me it was when I picked up an 1834 capped bust quarter in VG at an LCS, and then about a month later picked up another 1834 in VF20. I had...
It's not the easiest thing to count either, but it's diagnostically relevant for studying die marriages. For example, two die marriages of small...
Not surprising. Thanks again for checking.

I'm trying to find out the number of reeds on the edge of an 1838 Seated Liberty Quarter. Does anyone have one handy they could count the reeds...
Sure. It's a late die stage 1833 B-1, AU58. [IMG]
That may very well be the case as they were older reviews. I hadn't seen any follow ups mentioning the presence of bubbles on newer SRHs, but also...
I've read some reviews where people have said the scratch resistant coating leaves visible air bubbles on the sides of the slab, but I haven't...

The best quarter reverse is on the small capped bust. It's got more character than the seated liberty. [IMG]
I've been considering sending in some scuffed up NGC slabs for reholdering, but reholders come with the scratch resistant holders (SRH) and I...
That's just so awful. Would have been better if it had just gotten lost in the mail. Did you have anything in your auction stating conditions for...
I'm not saying to buy the 73, but definitely don't buy the 71. It's unattractive and not something you'd be happy with in the long run as a type...
