As a kid, I found the Roy Rogers TV show to be disappointing. I was looking for a show that was set in the days of the old wild west. Instead that...
$30 is the Greysheet price for straight graded VG. This one looks to be a bit rough. You can probably do a bit better for the price or perhaps a...
But toward the end of its run, as my mother’s cleaning lady said, “He forgot where his rifle was.” The screen writers must have reacted to some...
Roy Rogers was tame. He never killed anybody. All he did was shoot the gun out of their hands. Most any of the prime time TV "old west" shows in...
The mint is doing worse than that. The front page story in Coin World this week is that the mint sold thousands of 2021-W Proof Silver Eagles to...
I think that it's a planchet flaw because of the area highlighted in purple in the above photograph. It might be a small lamination that dropped...
I live in Florida, so the FUN show is semi-local for me. The ANA is another matter since it moves around the country. I am not a big fan of ANA...
If I knew the answer, I'd be buying or selling. The pandemic drove prices for much of 2020 and the beginning of 2021. Now that (we hope) it's...
Original surfaces is a big plus for these coins. This piece has never been dipped, and maybe they will give it a point for that fact.
Sometimes the graders from both services look at lot of luster, and "lose their minds." Marks DO MATTER. If they didn't, there would be no...
PCGS "Coin Facts" has survival estimates for everything, but I've found them to be on the low side in my opinion. In other words, I think that...
Really? My experience has been just the opposite. Given the minor marks, I would say that this coin would get an MS-65 in the NGC holder and an...
If you are buying for "investment," none of the above. I have done very poorly with my coin purchases over the past decade, and I have purchased...
It all depends upon what you paid and what you want to do with it. I would NEVER pay big bucks for an MS or PR-70 graded copper coin. The chances...
I think that you would need to go to the big ANA or Winter FUN shows to make sure that could happen. You could do it at Baltimore, but it's not...
I am 0 for 10 on that list and will never improve on that record. Some of those coins do nothing for me. If you are going to encourage...
MS-64. I see a straight line mark on the Indian’s stomach and another one above the right knee (view’s perspective).
My best experiences were at the Worthy Coin shop in Boston, Massachusetts, which ran a weekly bid wall from the fall to the spring. I'll post this...
Yes, not real. When you see only a fraction, and especially a bear, you are looking at something that Woolworth’s used to sell for $2 in the...
Yes, some of best coin pictures I have taken were of raw coins with a table lamp high overhead. Slabs drive you crazy because of the reflection...
Separate names with a comma.
