Let me finish my glass of wine first. :happy: Cal
When I actively collected ancients, I measured SG on some, mostly as a learning and fun experience. There have already been excellent comments...
Good eye. I checked images on Heritage, and no past sales have the bumps and marks. Cal
Arkies, of which there were 16 years/mint/types, are among the least loved commems. Some were carried as pocket pieces, not because they were...
I'm having them conserve it. So they'll be doing the dipping. Cal
Toning was nice, but not spectacular. I considered sending it to NGC. But for a number of reasons, I prefer PCGS for most US types, including...

Don't know if it's more, but I agree a lot cents are replenishing copper and zinc in soils and a lot are in landfills. I've seen dozens of folks...
Copyrights expire when the creator dies plus 70 years (up to 120 years total in some circumstances). Copyright duration keeps getting extended by...
Definitely. They've already allowed the Newman Portal to setup click-throughs to its catalogs and prices realized. And it looks like images of...
Yes indeed. And Heritage will sue to protect its copyrights. See link. Cal Link:...
Let's see. You're writing a book that will expose errors of TPGs, but you're asking their permission. Good chance they'll say no regardless of...
You might be able to frame coin images from another website. For those who aren't familiar with framing, the image per se is never really on the...
Doug, If you look at my posts on this thread, the only area where I'm skeptical of dealer-to-dealer being the commonest trading mode is for...
I still plan to gather some data on auction collector-versus-dealer sales at Long Beach. However, I just stumbled on a report of high-end coins...
Doug, How about the average age of those who have posted at least once within the last year? Any data on that? Participation, even at a low...
You can submit at a show, but if you want the grading to be complete before the show is over, they will charge considerably more. If you submit...
