I don't think anyone here has addressed what Frank was getting at. He wasn't saying using computers is inferior to using books when researching...
I just recently branched out into banknotes, but I have no real techniques for collecting them. If I see something I like I buy it. I am, however,...
I like 2. Guy~
I think PCGS make the right move. Of course, the copper I collect doesn't come in red unless you have half a million or so to purchase the few...
I could ask for coins, but I'd keel over dead from shock if someone in my family actually bought me a coin for any occasion. I'm more likely to...
I have to agree. There is a lot of junk, but theres also some really respected dealers of some really spectacular coins who use Ebay. The...
Exactly! Thats what makes these forums an interesting place to be. If the above wasn't true, there'd be no reason for collectors to come together...
I got a small cardboard shipping box. Looks like an un-colored PCGS box and fits both PCGS and NGC quite nicely. Cost: 34 cents at the post...
This one isn't in the best shape, but it's interesting looking. It's one of two notes my great grandfather used to carry with him in his wallet,...
There is a pretty big distinction between the two. I don't know how really to explain it other than saying get one of each and compare them and...

That pic showed it a lot better. Looks like a nice die crack. Guy~
Thats a cool find. Try to get some pics up. Bad pics are better than none. Guy~
One way to tell if it's real or not depends on where you got it from. Ebay=fake. Aside from a major auction buy, I would have to bet fake. You can...
Today's spot: $18.35. But I'm sure they'll be some who'll pay beyond that somewhere. Guy~
I don't track the prices of coins because it doesn't matter to me, so if you say they're falling, then ok, I guess they are. Guy~
Thats why I emphasized GIVE not "gift". There is a huge difference as far as taxes go. To be honest, these days 3.5 million isn't that hard to...
I think it's a lamination issue. If the die had a crack the coin would have a raised line, not an incuse crack like you have there. Guy~
Food saver bags might work great, but there still could be problems. If one of the coins sealed in the bag has any traces of PVC on it at all, it...
