and if you learned something by doing so then the coin has done its job. :D
The "hot topic" idea sounds like it'd be great to listen to. As I was writing this I was thinking that I can d/l the podcasts to my mp3 player...
Glad you're back! Take your time, we'll be here.
Ben, for the coin to be a VF-20, all of the rivets in the shield must be there. They can be weak, but they must be there. This coin does not have...
Looks like a solid F-12 to me. The real key is whether or not the shield is complete. If it is blended into the breast, then it doesn't quite make...
gold is much easier to sell because there's a better market for it
it's a lot of $ to tie up waiting for someone who wants a slabbed MS-69 coin. As a PM it's not much better, they still need a buyer, but bullion...

IMHO this new max is going to be a problem when it comes to Jackie Kennedy, but I don't see people getting lathered up over Lady Bird Johnson or...

another way to do it is to look at the flat surface and try to determine if the mint mark is higher than the star. They should both be relatively...
I think it will bring interest from the speculators, but that they will lose on them big time because nobody collects these coins, beyond as...
and you think we can from pictures??? My point was that you post, we grade, and everyone judges everyone... except you. If you offer an...
oops, sorry... edit
It will likely make no difference what the slab says. These coins are sold every day as bullion and if you can sell it as a coin, you will do...
Duke, While I agree that this IS a good exercise and it does provide a learning tool for all of those involved, my larger point was that this...
