To be honest, none of those are Comstock Lode coins. The Peace dollar was made almost 80 years after the Comstock closed, and the others are...
Agreed. It wasn't so much about him completing a set of coins as much as it was about a man finding pleasure in the little things amidst all the...
I got the email. However, I had to wait a few days to read it. Because I spend most of my time on the road at work, my only internet is via a...
Most certainly, or they wouldn't be making them. True, the cent the past decade has cost more to make than it's worth, but when combined with the...
Look where it sliced through the O on OR. It's a vending machine mark...I see them quite often. Guy~
I'll stand with you on this, Paul...at least as far as Morgans go with the top three grading companies. I've been collecting Morgans for almost 30...
Of all the designs submitted, I think they picked the worst one. Someone needs to check the folks who pick these for blindness. Guy~
Considering we haven't seen under 3 billion per mint issued for the past 2 decades, I don't see what justification they'd have for abolishing the...
If it's a mintmark over another you're talking about, an O under that S wouldn't be as big as what I think you're looking at. They were generally...
I don't think he's ignoring this fact, Speedy. But to be realistic, the NO mint did indeed strike just as good of coins as any mint to begin with....
Why? Because a few people here disagreed with what you proposed? Nobody here is responsible for the way we grade today or has been instrumental in...
I agree with what you are talking about, Mike. A true grade versus a conditional grade...much like what was used for several hundred years before...
Hi Santa. Yes, the general consensus here is "don't clean coins". Of course, it really just depends on what coins you have and what you want out...
I want to say MS 63, but it's not an option. Guy~
Exhibit: Half Cents - 1804 - January 1st 2009 - Fish I found this post on "Exhibit: Half Cents - 1804 - January 1st 2009 - Fish" interesting and...
For reasons not related to anything involving the slim chance criminals are taking notes on my collecting ventures, I won't state what I spend on...
Depends on how low a budget you have. I think all Barber coins are low priced right now. Then again, it may be because they are a bland design....
A coin show isn't the place you're going to do this. If it were so simple to predict what would rise in value enough to make a profit on, that we...
Im my experience I'd have to say the Lincoln cent is the easiest set to assemble. There are no real rarities. Even the 09sVDB is easy to find in...
I'm a bit old fashioned....I don't use my computer at all to catalog my collection. I use an old accounting book. It has all the columns I need...
