Hmmm, good point. I'll cop out by repeating what I previously said, people get to make their own definition of what a type set is.
The nice thing about a type set is that people get to define it as they please. Stopping at 1964 pleases me. How many collectors do you know that...
Hmmm, I'd call stopping at 1964 intuitively obvious. The last year of US business strikes in 90% silver. I find the intrinsic value of silver...
For me this won't work. My primary collection is a type set, 1793 through 1964. Based on my definition of a type set that that includes some 90+...
I used to use albums that held slabbed coins. See here (I'm posting this link ONLY to show one possible album; I'm not touting this brand or...
I'll be away on the 10th so I won't know 'til much later.
I've found the the "o in 0" variety is a tough coin to get. IMO it's rarer than R-2. I think it was the last coin I got to complete the set -- and...
Strong AU. Don't know about the "cleaned" part. But with the amount of verdigris I believe I'm seeing I agree with DETAILS. I'm automatically...
It's simple to me. It's a highly faked coin. No authentication; no interest.
What's your definition of high res? A Mint Mark as big as a computer screen or something a bit less?
The marks below "AME" on the reverse will probably keep it from being MS. AU-58 would be great but more likely it's a step or two below that....
The response has arrived. Here 'tis: "Thank you for your email. Yes, you will have to submit through one of our submission centers listed on our...
I don't collect Kennedy's so I don't know the answer to this question. BUT I get the impression that the strike on these coins, even the proofs,...
Thanks for the response.
I sent CAC a message asking about re-stickering a previously CAC'ed coin now in a new holder. I'll post their response if/when it arrives.
I won't (and can't) make NGC Registry Sets anymore. BUT I still can do Custom Sets. Here's a start on my Capped Bust Quarters-Reduced Size. What...
I'd love to do a dog-and-pony show but my slabs are a mixture of NGC and PCGS. And NGC doesn't allow Registry Sets with mixed TPG's anymore. I...
Woo Woo!!! I think I've found another of my missing varieties. It's only a F-12 but it IS in a regular (original surfaces) PCGS holder. I'm paying...
Thanks for the responses. I've had other coins with a CAC sticker reholdered and didn't follow up on getting them re-CAC'ed. That leads to a...
My 1831 Capped Bust Quarter arrived yesterday. I think it's a Browning 2. I'll pack it up with the 1837 Capped Bust Quarter (B-4?) and ship them...
