I agree. I have been part of several auctions where reserves were not met, but the seller still let me have it at my last high bid. Very cool. I...
Not a type coin collector and maybe I should not answer, but you ask for opinions and I can always come up with one of those. Of the four coins...
I agree, but for the right AU58's I am not scared to bid(and do) bid more than what normally 58's go for. I think it has to be the right coin at...
Welcome and nice intro and am sure several around have been like that. Me included in one way. And yes a lot of lessons learned. Now I just think...
While not my poll(and I have no problem with it) I think my list would be completely for different reasons. There are so many that make this...
I called them to join and got my number right then.
Yep - my local dealer has even asked me if could go wait on youngsters. He likes to keep the YN's happy and he is very patient with them...
PS - the only one I have left is the lowest grade that is a 64RB that I got from Jack and think it was one of yours. :)

No matter what you come up with it will not make everyone happy. Everything I have seen posted just brings up more issues or different issues....
Take the cut off the cheek and this would be a perfect coin in my opinion. Granted the rub's are there, but it sure is sweet. Personally I think...
If it was $50 I would already have it. :) It is around $170. I liked the planchet, but could not attribute it with what few details it had. I am...
And probably scared off a couple dozen more(young and old) who were not serious about the hobby. :) Certainly more good than bad. Plus if the...
DOH - Okay - I think I got it now. :) Still I do like some high grade coins that I would not handle and I do have a lower grade set to get my...
Agreed - avoid. As RLM mentioned stick with NGC and PCGS, then with some experience ANACS and ICG.
Same can be said for a lot of us older ones also. :) Nice start to a collection - just take your time learning. And some books will certainly...
