Great report, Joe. You're a terrific writer. I agree that you made me feel like I was right there with you. Glad to hear that you came away...

I think that if you look at the original post, you will see that the OP asked for opinions. That's what I gave him. Like you, I'm not much good...
Hello, Ken. Welcome to CoinTalk. If you're an amateur, you're not alone. I've been collecting coins since the mid-60's and haven't turned pro...
As far as I know, they are all brown seals, but if you're talking about varieties, National Banknotes have a multitude of varieties. ;)
The 1929 "Red Seal" $50 note is also a fake.
The 1861 Confederate States of America half is a novelty coin. In other words, not a real coin.
You have the clad issue, right? It's really hard to assign a grade to an uncirculated coin, bases on a digital image, but if put to the test, I...
I agree that there was no reason that you should have to pay extra postage after the package arrives. The seller should have put enough stamps on...
You got a really good deal on that coin, David. 1929-D's in that condition, usually sell for half again as much as you paid. To be quite honest...
N.G.C. does indeed have a "deal" with the Coin Vault, David. A couple of other outfits they have a "deal" with include: The P.N.G....
I've never been to a coin show, jimmy. Never been inside a coin shop either. The only coin dealers I've ever seen, were either at flea markets...
Wish I could be there. :( I'm sure it'll be a great show. The main thing is, have fun! :)
Robert, The explaination that GDJMSP has given, reflects my position on the subject almost exactly. There's really nothing more I can add....
I believe the seller is acting as an agent for the person in the UK who has the material. This is pretty common. Lots of folks let experienced...
Yeah, I was gonna say that, but I thought I'd give someone else a chance. ;)
You might have a point. LOL I just priced a couple of coins on Littleton's website. 1939-D Jefferson nickel MS-60 = $155.00 1986 Silver...
Yes, the coin is a fake. As a matter of fact, it's not even gold. I feel like I must warn you though, if you try to contact the bidders, you...
I can't think of a company that prices their coins as high as Littleton. That's one I would stay away from.
Many coin dealers sell "grab bags". Just remember, there ain't no Santa Claus in the coin business. Dealers don't stay in business by giving...
