What are you seeing that's prompting a details grade?
I like this one at VF-35, but wouldn't be surprised to see EF-40. Overall, I think I like the look of the coin, but it might be a little too...
Funny how the "cleaning" hairlines on the OP's coin are identical to the "cleaning" hairlines on the coin posted on Ebay. I'm not arguing that...
First editions are rare. Book collectors will pay a decent premium for them. Congrats!
Your list looks like a good "general" set - there are a lot of basic books there, with a lot of good introductory information. Many of those books...
I feel like arguing with some people is a waste of time. You will never convince Doug, so don't try. We can only hope to present an opposing...

Well, it looks AT, so there is a good chance its from the Appalachian hoard.
Or I heard about a new one, "The Art and Science of Grading Coins." ;)
My collection is currently large enough that they would all die from alcohol poisoning. Either I don't have enough friends to share the booze,...
Yeah, looks like they rearranged things. I'll have to see when we get there, but I think I might actually like this floorplan better.
Depends on who's selling, and who's buying.
