Post a pic. I love looking for matching dies. I think you meant that you will be looking for a type 1. Literature says the survivors are about...
Top is AU55, bottom AU58. I think the bottom one got AU because someone stared at it too hard or something. I paid slightly below Numismedia price...
Well now you have to get a type 1! And it's all downhill from there. :) [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I have not looked into the proxy bid on HA but I will read up on it. I'm not sure if it really matters. If someone set a higher regular max bid...
You can get the dimes, quarters and halves info all together in the Bowers' Guide Book of Barber Silver Coins. Some of it is not as thorough as...
If you start low, then you have to watch it all the time. For me, that's too much work. As with the post above, I'll research and pick a...
Pics please! The references posted by @lordmarcovan are the ones I know of. NGC and PCGS also have short blurbs for certain years/mints.

Got in change at the beer store a few months ago. Weird, this thread popped a dream I had last night back into my head. The same store gave me...

Saw this in the weekend email from GC. The listing doesn't say much about it but I found this Coin World article -...
This was my thought too. Go in there and explain the situation. If he has something else you want, offer to pay x $ above what he's asking for it,...
I've wondered this myself. So many of these are defaced with an X scratched in. I've noticed it a lot on Canadian coins with Queen Victoria....
My USPS issues come down to the locals. They are constantly putting mail in the wrong mailboxes. I switched to using a PO Box for coins as a...
Such a common theme among scammers. You'll get their 1804 dollar for $100 because they really need the money because [insert sob story]. Tack on...
I'm not sure what "box" these came in but it seems likely that it's a die chip and these dozens of coins all came from the same die. Depending on...
Possibly NGC is updating their price guide but not the data below it, but if so, off of what? I use both of their price guides but always check...
