I won a 1796 Draped Bust dollar in Heritage's auction of Jan.22 so I sent in my personal check on Jan 25th. Transit was Florida to Texas, so no...
I agree wholeheartedly with @Paddy54 's sentiment. We can disagree and debate without it becoming rancorous. I for one appreciate spirited...
Latest addition to my Capped Bust Half Dime collection. The 1837 Small 5C LM-4, R-3.[ATTACH]
Wow, I really like your 1873 w/arrows half. That is exactly the coin and quality I'm seeking for my type set. What was the grade on it? I would...
I can't advise about the dealers you mentioned, but here's a suggestion: I think this might satisfy your current desire for a broad but not deep...
If you're after an Overton, I just got a brand new 5th edition copy from Brooklyn Gallery for $59.95 plus $6.25 shipping. I found them on either...
OK, you have a 1799 13 star dollar. The February CDN Greysheet lists this in F-12 at $1200 wholesale bid. The CDN February CAC Rare Coin Market...
If the coin does not get a bean, you only pay for shipping both ways. Look at the video I gave the link to in an earlier post and much of this is...

But even if you cannot obtain or afford an O-120, the unsatisfied CBH collector can then start in on die state collecting of the numerous DMs, an...
And here I thought you were a charter member. Two guys in my local club are long-time members. One has about 250 DMs. But he's a piker, the...
I downloaded the image and blew it up as much as I could. I'm now thinking it is not a scratch since I really don't see any displaced metal. And...
A nice looking AU-58 with pretty toning. But that scratch, if that's what it is, is pretty severe and is right in the focal zones. I think it...
I presume you use a dessicant in your safe. If you don't, you should. And if you don't, then sealing up your coins in a ziploc bag as you've...
Yes, I have always suspected that the raw coins are not quite the color endowed by nature. I have about four of them and they are pretty but I...
