Fabulous ! The Golden Age of American coin design - early 20th century. Marvelous stuff.
Cool ! This would make a great display at a coin show. Any plans to exhibit ? I would be eager to check it out. Great work, Ben.
Thanks ! I will be making a few changes thanks to this thread. I do have one question regarding the following statement : "One thing I would...
Gonna be worth big money someday ! Be sure to get it slabbed... :D
Right on !!! ROFL :rolleyes: Just consistently grade everything 70 ! How hard is that ? This "grading" thing is easy.
Great thread. Thanks, Az. It's important to have balance on the E-Bay issue; we usually hear the bad news. There's good E-Bayers out there....
The most difficult place I see to judge this is the incuse Indian $2.5s and $5s. Yep. That's why my Indian $2.5 set is AU. 50% less than MS61,...
I hear ya. In a sense, it's a "tail shakes dog" scenario - in essence, market value drives the numerical grade. The market evolved such that...
Anybody hitting the show in Grapevine TX (Dallas area) this weekend ? PM and we'll get together. Maybe share a ride (I live in Austin).
This is one reason I said "No, I'm not as good as the TPGs". It's also one of the prime reasons I am convinced top TPGs have done a great service...
Strongly agree. Give it a try. MS62 $10 Libbies and Indians can be had for $500 - $800. Crack 'em out, send 'em in. When they come back MS65,...

Here's the best line in the ad... AT COINMADZ YOU ARE TREATED LIKE FAMILY! Maybe he meant MISTREATED like ABUSED family. :D I keep reading...
Has anyone ever seen one of these ? What the heck is a "gripped edge" ? rock-n-roll... I presume the reason you're certain this is the "gripped...
Not to worry... there's always the United Nations to enforce fair trade and copyright laws !:headbang: Always remember their motto :...
This is an important issue, but I doubt it is likely to sink the hobby. Counterfeit coins didn't sink us; counterfeit slabs won't either. But...
Thanks, Aberlight. Great thread (there and here). They raised an interesting point - the possibility of AUTHENTIC coins in counterfeit slabs....
Have you tried contacting the seller for a refund ? It's possible they offer return privilege (they don't specify in the auction). The time to...
Thanks, Christian ! :thumb: 8 hours into the New Year; started off with a bang. Hope it's as good as 2007... best year of my life ! WAY too...
I think Az Jack has a good point. This is done on E-Bay and they have a dispute resolution process (for what it's worth). Same story if one uses...
Separate names with a comma.
