99.9% of the time you will lose out if you sell to a dealer, not vice versa. My general opinion, you need to sell your coins as retail, to other...
Nice high serial number on the second $5 silver cert!
I agree with you Salty, those are among some of the more "pretty" designs in North American coinage. I have a few myself.
Have I mentioned that Zonad's off center strike 1858 is absolutely filthy??
The trailing die/deteriorated die variation of what you have is relatively common. Unfortunately it's not the overdate, keep hunting though!...
Cool, welcome back John. Every good collector needs a hiatus, big or small.
While the pictures are not the best, it looks like a Fine Details coin. The corrosion on the reverse suggests some sort of environmental damage.
Great pick, I found the 70-s SD proof in the same fashion. How much did you buy the set for?
PVC is usually determined as a hazy green on the the surface of the coin. The far advanced stage is much more detrimental and apparent, sometimes...
Small die chips and gouges were common place with the Indian cent series. Especially in certain numbers in the date like 9's, 6's and 5's. I...

And you never know Greg, if it turns out to be the rarity Beef thinks it is, one of those guys might make you an offer to buy. I've worked with...
I have no choice but to be patient, and I think it all comes down to the initial excitement that's clouded my better judgement in the infancy of...
Buddy, I undergrade all your coins, mostly because I'm a little jealous about how nice your pieces are. Lol
I would be all in for an AU grade, if and only if, those nicks were less...prominent. Don't get me wrong Greg, that coin possesses all the traits...
Now this is what I enjoy seeing, a good spirited and energetic conversation. Honestly, MS60 is one of those grades I don't see that often, and I...
I'm in that 40-45 range on this one. In spite of the nicks, there's plenty of hair detail.
Okay...liberty's face looks like the side profile of Paul Newman. I wouldn't pay the value of salad dressing for that coin, too funny looking.
That's actually pretty neat looking. Reminds me of ocean waves washing away footprints on the sand.
