eBay as usual has broad-brushed its restrictions. The mere mention of Cuba in a title or description is cause for eBay to ban a listing. I have...
I tend towards "yes", numismatics will decline. The hobby will lose it's newcomers. There won't be inexpensive coins to collect right out of...
Yes, I use the Tompkins book plus I've got the Peterson book too. I ran into a contradiction between the two. Got to see if I can find it again....
Just received Early United States Dimes 1796-1837/A Reference Book of Their Types, Varieties and Rarity by Davis, Logan, Lovejoy, McCloskey and...
Take it easy at the show; don't overdo it. You don't want a relapse.
Thanks. According to pics that I've seen the clash is much stronger on Die State 3. The Mint did some die polishing to remove rust "blips" and...
Thanks for all of the positive comments. It fills one of the holes in my Capped Bust/Reduced Size Quarters die variety set (1831-1838). That's 25...

What is the definitive guide for: -- Classic Head Cents (1808-1814) -- Liberty Head Cents (1816-1857) I already have Grellman's book so that...
Did the documentation specify archival quality?
I'm looking at what appears to be a mark on the reverse over the first "L" in "DOLLAR". What's it look like in hand?
Thanks for all of the positive responses. I now have only two more coins needed to complete my FE/IHC set. I particularly wanted my 1856 to be an...
Took 2+ years to find this coin (well, MFD found it for me). 1856 FE (S-3) PCGS MS-62 with Eagle Eye sticker. It's the only 1856 FE that can...
I'm no camera guru. Here's what I use to image coins. Camera: Nikon D90 Lens: Nikkor 60mm Macro It works well for me. The tough parts for me are:...
I believe that not specifying in the Red Book in the intro to the issue that means it's the same as the previous issue.
I'm not a fan of the PCGS Registry Sets. Their requirement that ALL coins be in PCGS slabs makes filling a set go more slowly. Then there's the...
