Glad you're feeling better, Daniel. What is involved in prepping coins for overstrike?
Not related. The P on the Cent this year celebrates the 225th anniversary of the US Mint (in Philadelphia) and thus, a P mint mark for this year...
no disagreement, but when you want a specific coin in a specific grade in a specific slab, you're much more likely to overpay if the slab doesn't...
I think almost everyone is in agreement. The coin will likely not straight grade at a TPG. There are way better examples if you want a graded coin...

usually the process is as follows: find a piece research it find out what the value is buy it if the price asked is reasonable for the value...
you could also do this... weigh both pliofilm packs if they weigh the same, the half is clad. If they weigh differently, then compare the...
knee isn't bent enough for my liking... :)
That picture is from me fulfilling a life long dream, bowling on the PBA Tour. It was short-lived, as professional careers go, but it was VERY...
I like to bowl a little bit. ;)[ATTACH]
