Depending upon where the wreck is found, and other details, they sometimes claim ownership. But they do not always, I might even say seldom, win...
I have related that story before Dave, a couple of times I think. Perhaps I will again one day. But today, I am exhausted now. I have been writing...
If a coin is washed in - distilled water, or acetone, or xylene, or a commerical coin dip - has that coin been cleaned ? I do not see how you...
Well I'll tell ya Dave, I have actually found clumps of coins like that from a Spanish galleon in the ocean. And cleaning them at all is no easy...
Well I have to admit I certainly am curious to see how this turns out. Proof or business strike ? I think that is a foregone conclusion. I haven't...
It's a different mentality, a different way of thinking. Coins for my personal collection were always purchased because I liked the coin, not...
Oh I don't disagree with that, especially since you can often buy the same coin for less money on Heritage. But on Heritage you don't have the...
That's where you are making your mistake. If the high bid is a $1000, the seller receives $850 - assuming he is paying a 15% commission. If the...
LOL ! Yeah, don't ya just hate those danged insurance regulations. I think it's their way of making sure you bring your car back again :D 'Course...
You just had to say that didn't you. Now the nightmares will start again :eek:
I hate it when that happens ! And when I was just starting to get warmed up :D
Yeah, I recall that. I consider it as the first time that the "real you" came out. Of course I realized right away that you really, really, do...
Amen brother ! :D
Derik, hopefully you understand that I am not knocking your coins. I am merely trying to say things as I see them, as honestly as I can, based on...
It's not puzzling at all, at least not to me. You're selling your coins 1 at a time, to individual collectors. I sold mine, vast majority anyway,...
I sold most of them to dealers Paul, just like Chris was talking about doing. The US collection, I spent most of my life putting that together,...
For those who disagree with me, do you realize that what I am saying can be summed up in one short sentence ? Buy the coin, not the slab. That...
Oh I dunno Chris. I sold 2 entire collections, one US and one world. I lost approximately 50% on each of those collections when I sold. I was...
I think the answers you got would have been different had you shown your second set of pictures (cropped to cut off the grade). Your fist set of...
I think you misunderstood. It doesn't cost extra to get the coin graded, authentication and grading are covered under the same fee. I think what...
Separate names with a comma.
