My father is 66. He told me that when he was a kid in the mid 1950's his grandfather gave him 20 Morgan silver dollars as a birthday gift. The...
I do take risks buying on eBay. In fact some say "you can't lose" with buyer protection. But personally, I'm with Mainebill as far as I would not...
I'm pretty sure that the problem occured when the seller's refund did not clear before the case was escalated and eBay refunded the buyer. I...

Those are the best. I dream about coins at least once a week. My last one was that I found a variety worth $18k. In my dream, my wife started...
Premiums are hard to come by, even on the rare edge errors. There are very few collectors left who look for them. I only got a $50-$60 premium for...
The later dates had reeding and lettering just like this. As far as the letters being over one another, this is also common. The rare lettering...
Pic shows a 60. That's all I've ever used.
Brighter, cleaner light, outdoor quality, longer lasting, plus when photographing slabbed coins you don't get a reflection/shadow of that black...
These bulbs are even better than GE Reveal. Only about $4 at Bulbs & Batteries!
