Wow, great collection. Can I ask about how much you paid and when for the 1896 ? Also, where did you purchase it ? Looks like a really premium...
Thanks, B21, I didn't know that. I thought the owner had to take it out and risk a downgrade. Do you still pay for the evaluation ?
You mean they submitted it in the old holder and the TPG didn't even bother to take it out because it wasn't undergraded ? I thought the...
The 1st 1879-S is very nice....that 3rd coin looks like it has a hole at 9 o'clock, stay away from it....the 1899-O looks nice....I'm not a toner...
There's even more expensive with a CAC for just under $2K which I would not want....there's an NGC 1884-CC MS65 that is only PL but maybe if you...

I always wanted to know: Why do some people have their coins on Ebay at very high prices way-above market that attract no followers, bids, or...
More $$$ at stake in tackling the $3 trillion underground economy and the $150 billion in tax losses each year. Gains from precious metals even...
And asset allocation !!!! :D
