Not planning to travel to any shows, because.... My mom and I are spending a month in Peru and Ecuador. While there, I am going to visit the...
That is *FANTASTIC* advice. The single driving focus when I wrote my book was "Man, I wish I could have read this book when I was learning."
It very largely depends on what you want to write about! Basically, if you want to write a book about a subject, you need to figure out three...
Try some of these pictures for a better feel for the "liquid" surfaces (these were all graded PL, except for the 1876 which is DPL). I'm really...
Doug is the prolific poster and moderator who goes by a mouthful of letters, and who has posted several times in this thread: GDJMSP The coin...
Best picture I have to show this is actually not a US coin. The fields on this one are so reflective that there were some really interesting...
Those are some really nice toners. These all have classic-old time toning, but definitely not Dansco. Older Danscos will tone coins, but not in...
Absolutely, man. PM me with any questions you have. Given your high level of knowledge and proficiency with 20th century coinage, jumping into...

63? I think there is too much chatter on the cheek for a high grade. I will admit, however, that I have not looked too much at these.
I like the color on that piece. 55.
Interesting. I didn't actually know the UDM designation survived the soap-bar era. Thanks for sharing that!

Anyone who takes this thread seriously is a troll. The troll master is trolling you.
I don't see any problem with your original idea - talking about the great rarities. To focus that a bit, I might only talk about one of them. You...
Well, at least you've described what to look for now. That's a start. That really isn't true at all. When you say correct information, backed up...
