Even based on CDN that was a great price.
And don't forget auction results. Probably the most accurate measure.
My second coin arrived (the first one is in my type set). http://www.ebay.com/itm/401018092939
I went ahead and just ordered both the Tompkins and Peterson books. Can't hurt but may confuse the heck out of me :D
I've officially started the set. The Browning guide (1992 copywrite/1998 reprint) lists 35 varieties. There are 21 that are Rarity 1, 2 or 3. I...
Nope, it's there. Look just right if the rock on the reverse. It shows as an "A" on top of a "W".
Yep, we did. But they probably had 6-12" in mind. 2-3' is a bit over the top for them. It's happening, just more slowly than expected. But I've...
Not me. I'm still trying to dig out from the snowstorm (2-3'). Two days of digging so far. At 74 I'm a bit slow at this sort of thing.
Since NCS goes hand-in-hand with NGC I would expect any NCS conserved coin to be fully graded by NGC.

A quick look in Heritage pretty much shows that, at least in XF, darker toning appears should be expected.
I'm looking to open a new collecting area for myself. Capped Bust Quarters (1831-1838) - Variety 2, has caught my eye. Why? -- It's a short set by...
I suspect it was cleaned (dipped) big not rinsed well.
We appear to be in the same general area (I'm Silver Spring, MD). You might want to consider the NOVA shows in Annandale, VA (2/yr I think). And...
And it also makes your slabs smell better :D BTW, plain ol' Colgate's Toothpaste (the original) works best.
I went 3-4 years ago. Grading I and Grading II (yep, two weeks). Nope, no scholarship; they don't consider a 70yo a YN. And I wouldn't do 2 weeks...
Now THAT'S a very good idea (although not all coins have documented attributions).
Check out Novus.
Last I heard the Mint was losing about $150 million a year just making the cents. And I know nickels cost more than face value to make.
