I considered selling my wife but after checking eBay, older used wives just don't bring that much. But in the real world I DO have some...
Uh oh!!! I just spotted one of the two CBQ's I'm missing. The problem? With the buyer's fee added in the reserve is $5000. Maybe I'll get into the...
I do the reverse math. I decide what I want to pay then subtract the 17.5% (or whatever the fee is) and also subtract the S&H. Then I bid that...
Lehigh, thanks for the info. That's what I thought but I wanted to be sure before I jumped in. Then you better not deal with auction houses such...
I roamed around their site and I cannot find their buyer's fee structure. Would someone please tell me what they are.
Actually I started a Capped Bust Half Dime set 5-10 years ago. And I was doing it by LM varities. There's something on the order of 125 die...
I finished (as best I can) my recent collecting interest. It was Capped Bust Quarters/Reduced Size (1831-1838). I ended up with 34 of the 36...

I just compared it to mine. IMO it's close but not quite there.
A quick search doesn't show a Royal Numismatic Grading site.
Since I'm only about an hour's drive from the show location I attend them all.
Don't forget there's Photoshop Elements which is a relatively inexpensive subset of Photoshop.
I haven't yet tried to ID the die variety.
Well, my CBQ/Reduced Size set is as complete as I can reasonably expect. Now I'm starting a Capped Bust Dimes/Modified Design (1828-1837) set....
The coin is now mine. That closes out the set for me (missing the two tough ones). I'll keep checking out eBay on occasion and hope for a stroke...
Certainly a possibility. Another possibility that arose while at the ANA seminars was that I'm "old school". Mostly technical grading back then;...
Over time I've improved my coin imaging. I now operate with a better camera and better techniques. Now comes the long, slow process of re-imaging...
