I too have used "Collectors Corner" to find coins, but I go straight to seller as soon as I see a piece I like. First, you find out immediately if...
Hi @Michael M Mabb I afraid that I don't have good news for you. Both of your coins are corroded. The 1912-D has the sharpness of a VF, but...
Those holders used to cost 49 cents apiece at Woolworths' when I was a kid. I didn't like them because the coins rattled. Capital holders are...

The Winter FUN show was really good when it did not conflict with the New York International show. The January 2020 show was especially good for...
I attended the Baltimore show for many years when I was dealer and for years after that. I went to fill want lists for customers and add to my...
One thing that gets me about these museums and countries who harass collectors is, What is the point? You claim you want to spread knowledge and...
