What an awesome book. Ahhhh yes, young Jedi knights... there is MUCH to learn in that one. Far beyond the coins themselves. I better go back...
Well, only part of the value of VAM searching is the increased value of the coin itself. Two other "value add" : one learns a lot it's kind of...
Interesting post. It highlights the necessity to "educate thyself" and also shows the value of TPGs. If individual education was the hobby's...
I was thinking more like "ouch" :headbang: No, they don't say "copy", but I took a closer look at the "albums" with such fabulous offerings as...
That seems the most reasonable to me. I'm interested in how this turns out. Stay tuned in !
I really appreciate all your effort. This is my kind of thread. Personally, I don't agree with the rationale of comparing ratios for one major...
Cool ! First, congrats on the coin. I'm sure you're excited; I would be. Now, about the book. Is it a reference work a la Breen, Sheldon,...
For MS coins, try "How to grade US Coins" by Jim Halperin. And, as Lehigh said, cast your eye upon hundreds and hundreds. Practice at coin shows.
Tough to grade from a photo, but here goes... I think it's MS. Not too baggy. Weak strike on reverse. A few marks on Liberty's neck. Pretty good...
XF40, maybe 45. Maybe it's the just scan, but it seems lustre-less. If the coin looks the same in hand, I would say it's retoned from a harsh...
Absolutely. This is the most ridiculous scam ever. This guy has over 144,000 sales on e-bay, with a 99.6% approval rating, and yet it's all rubbish.
Wow ! No telling how many potential 1913s there are in that ! Please don't release all of 'em to market at the same time. It will cause too many...
Here's an interesting caveat about that 1795 H10c AU50... Greysheet is $7700. If the coin drops only one level to "only" XF, it's "only" $4700....
Well, something amazing and unprecedented has come to pass ! I went to a coin show and didn't spend a dime. :confused: :eek: :confused: It...
I don't think it's real, real big... 48 tables. A little bigger than the Austin show last month.
I disagree. It is not a 500% profit. It is a 400% profit. The profit is the sales price minus the cost. That's the part you messed up. The...
Hey guys... My wife has taken up an interest in ancient coins, but they tend to stay in a drawer. I'd like to put 'em out where they get more...
Anybody up for this weekend's Fort Worth show ? November 8/9. Give me a PM and we'll get together. Tell ya what... I'll sweeten the pot for ya....
Nice move. I've always felt the capped bust H10c and 10c are a good value. One can pick up some nice coins without breaking the bank. OOOPS...
Agreed. The bottom line : it's a subtle but unmistakable attempt to mislead. While not explicitly lying, it is clearly intended to lead the...
