In the truest sense of the word. Specialists and students, too. Interesting corner of the hobby.
Probably not even then ! :rolleyes:
I suppose it's OK. Almost all websites, particularly commercial ones, give themselves a makeover from time to time. Keeps things fresh, whether...
That's right on. Also... don't let the acetone air dry. Even if it started out as 100% pure acetone, it cannot possibly end up pure acetone - it...
riddle : What do you call a mistake in coin collecting ? answer : tuition. Like they said - just learn from it. So ponder... what did you...
I've also heard the $3 gold was made for the purchase of a sheet of 100 3c stamps. I don't know if that's true.
That's what I've always heard. So why two different denominations ? Two different classes of postage (not air mail, of course) ? Interesting...
Makes sense. I've read that these coppers were the coins of the Common Man. Workhorse coins, not sittin' around in some banker's gold vault...
More detail on lower headress feathers, particularly the bottom one. More detail on eagle's shoulder and breast. Fewer marks all around. I'm sure...
Looks like some interesting strike doubling in the motto - "I" in IN, "O" in GOD, "W" in WE, and "TR" in TRUST. Or is it possible that's some...

I hear ya, Steve. A balanced view would include the idea that most e-bay auctions are totally cool. I have been very happy with e-bay purchases,...
<emphasis mine> That makes sense to me.
That's my concern. A lot depends on what is meant by "skillful application of photoshop". If it's just the standard color balance to make the...
Be sure to check shipping costs. :eek:
I'm curious about so-called "problem" coins in the Early American Copper coinage, especially Large Cents 1793 - 1814. With lower priced series...
That's a fair grade. In line with ANA. Seems like that's true of most Large Cents I see. It's really tough to find good ones.
Are there other diagnostics used to verify a bona fide 1909-O ? Certain die characteristics, perhaps ? Maybe that will solve the riddle. I...
This is possible if the graders are explicitly made aware that a given coin is owned by a given individual. My bet is such scenarios are extremely...
Somehow, I think there's some good lessons to be learned in that one simple sentence. Two thumbs up on the coin, bro.
Separate names with a comma.
