I have always used snip.pl. Costs a tiny little bit, but never had any issues with the snipe going through. The cost is something like a dime per...
Since nearly ancient coin has been cleaned, anyone think about them? There are quite a few that regularly sell in the millions.
Many series are like this. Price guides, IMHO, almost ruin collecting. Yes, its convenient to know ABOUT what a coin runs so you do not pay $100...
True. Ebay and Paypal fees can eat you alive if you are unlucky on your auction. You can list them here for free at a price you are comfortable...
Its a different kind of collecting. The subject matter is endless, but to really get the best rewards from it you have to be interested in...
...and I bet you will have a lot more fun because of it sir. Nothing wrong at all with researching and knowing the going price of a coin, but to...
Yeah, having it slabbed is supposed to give confidence, but evidently not enough. So now we have CAC stickers for more confidence on a coin. I...

Before the US mint was established, we used any coins we could find for change. East India Company small coppers are amongst the world's most...
Looks like you bought something from Frank Robinson. Most of my packages from him look like this.
Less than 500? Come on Mat, I thought I trained you to hoard better than that. :) I have no idea, 327?

Its all about the chase, not the acquisition as much to me. I kind of feel a let down once I finally get a piece I have desired for a long time.
My only issue with the nickel to me Paul would be the hits on the obverse. Unfortunately they are mainly on his face, the prime focal area for the...
Like others said, impossible to answer. Now, if you ask, "which is the easiest series to make a complete 20th century set of in BU" we could...
You never know though sir. In my experience, most lots, (at least the ones I bid on), tend to move up strongly at the very end. Yeah, it sucks,...
Technical things happen. If there was a major glitch, the only fair thing IMHO for both sellers and buyers is to delay the close. I think they did...
True, he goes over them, but I also feel he has a vested interest in trying to make as many possible coins "biblically related" so I believe he...
The tribute penny typically is a denarius, (a penny in the bible was referring to the small silver coin used in England, in older translations...
I thought you were more of a Thierry man Bill. :)
