I always crimp my staples! This is an issue which a lot of people really just don't understand, and I don't know why.
I've seen a few PL examples of these, but I'm not sure if the price they are asking is worth it. These have always seemed like a gimmick to me.
Hey buddy... blue is a primary color. As are red and yellow....
I'm not seeing any wear on this coin. I see the result of a poor strike. When the strike is not full, the hair details and the breast feather...
Seriously? That is insane!
The 1892 has been polished or cleaned, but the other two appear to be attractive. Both Columbians are AU, but for the price you paid they aren't a...
California Tax Laws are weird, as are a few other states. Especially when it comes to bullion, or rare coins. This is probably just a standard...

Did the PL all seem strong on them, or were there any that were borderline? Trying to get a feel for how conservative the PL is, or what the...
I'm sure they are doing it to make someone happy. That's the whole point of business. Many collectors have been clamoring for them to designate...
It seems like $10 would be a fair price for that common error. Clips aren't rare, especially ones that small. $140 would definitely be a rip-off!
The silver and gold strips get recycled and melted, as far as I know. As for your pickup, very cool! I've always been fascinated by these.
I was browsing upcoming Heritage auction lots, and I was quite surprised to see quite a few world coins in PCGS holders labelled as Prooflike....
I honestly have to say I have no clue on this one. I could be convinced either way.
