I haven't started a thread in a while, so here goes... What is your worst condition, just ragged or beat-up old coin or note that you just...
Yes, Ben, an end to the last price surge would be a welcome respite. We have, however benefitted from it in our values, and I was glad to see the...
either one is Extremely Fine with me.... ROFL.... I kill me!!!!
It amazes me that for coin collectors, you seem to ignore history. The US Mint has been coining a dollar coin almost since its inception. Off and...
I am unsure about this coin, maybe I need to examine it more closely... can you send it to me, and I'll be able to give you a better opinion. ;)...
I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for their well-wishes during my recent illness. I am now feeling much better, but for a while, I...
oddly, I just got 2 cents yesterday, so nothing until now, then nickel and cent the same week!
I don't think that certifying the coin will make enough of a difference in sale price to merit the cost of submission. That said, I'd say XF, not AU.
I got a 2008-D Nickel yesterday. It was the first 2008 coin I have yet to receive. We usually have at least cents by now, but I started a thread...

I don't know, I use it to certify that the silver proof sets that I buy are not clad coins in a silver holder. I think it would work best with...
The tissue test is a simple test for determining the difference between silver proof coins and clad proof coins (generally statehood quarters, but...
The coin is indeed a beauty! Looks like it was dipped and is re-toning. My grade is MS-64. I wouldn't try to have it graded.
Man, I am on my own this late round of gradings. I would say MS-62. Not a FH. I don't think that this coin is struck particularly well. If this...
not to stand on an island alone, but my grade for what it's worth is no better than VF-35. The luster is great, and waaaay better than what I...
Doug: Conservation in the sense we have discussed here is not an effort to keep something in its original condition, but rather an effort to...
This was one of the questions of my original post. They took a clouded Ike Dollar and show it as an after in an NGC slab at PF-69 DC. The clouded...
