You are correct in that I did not collect before TPGs, however, most of the coins I buy are raw. Clearly a seller word grading is not an objective...
But they cannot be completely objective since they have a financial incentive to be somewhat lenient. If they are too tight with grades compared...
Opened my secret santa today. It was thoughtfully gift wrapped with a handwritten note which is a nice touch. I didn't think to gift wrap mine,...
I've tried just about every coin inventory app on Android and the best one is called US Coins:...
Yea. The error being that it was turned into a bill clip.
Got mine in the mail today!
Went with 2 hours, but of course it depends on the size of the show and if dealers I'd like to see are going to be there.
While the walking liberty half is probably a close second, I have to go with the standing liberty quarter. It's an attractive design that holds up...
While I picked up a lot of nice coins in 2014, this year my collection was redefined not by what I bought, but by what I did not buy. I scaled...

The old version was pretty usable, but not as good as the iOS version; the new one is just awful.
It shows signs of pressure on the reverse corresponding to where the mark is, as with a countermark. So I think it was post mint, and it looks...
Mine's packed up and going out tomorrow.
I stopped in at Penny Pinchers tonight as well. Terrible traffic but it's a nice shop and they have their own parking lot.
I'd stay away. Too expensive for the risk. If you had a good 1795 half dollar, would you send it to NNC? I've only bid on an NNC coin once, and...
Yea the toning looks completely natural and it comes from a very reputable dealer for toners. I've never sent a toner like this to NGC before and...
I would be more skeptical of an NNC coin than a raw coin; there is a reason someone sends a coin to a disreputable grading company. Having said...
If you don't mind going a little farther, Classic Coins & Collectibles in Manassas and Penny Pincher Coins in Fairfax are both good.
Yea I was already thinking it would do well at NGC. I was debating how to send it in though since they don't do crossovers from PCI. I was...
