It's scheduled for 16-19 July. I'll be there as usual Friday pacing the floor. I've expanded my wantlist so that I don't go home empty handed.
I'm so close to completion that I can't afford the ones I'm missing. That gets me thinking about upgrades. Haven't started yet but it's going...
If eBay is dealing with currency the same way it does with coins then the TPG MUST have a publicly accessible database of all of their graded...
Very nice coin. If not a full strike then it's close.
^I agree.^
Probably the best advice. I'll see what I can do in two weeks at the Baltimore Whitman show.
Buying. And for the FRN's, in CU. With some research I've definitely found eBay listings to be VERY overpriced.
I'm working on a collection of small-size US $1 currency. I say FRN's but I really would like to go back to the beginning (1928). I would like to...

The Morgan may go to -62.
Here's what I found when I Googled "Platinum common compounds": It is highly resistant to chemical attack. It has stable electrical properties....
I'd do an acetone soak first.
I used a different diagnostic to ID the coin. In particular that variety is the only one in 1834 to have the first "U" in UNUM centered under the...
I'd say VF+. Been a while since I last ID'ed varieties on these coins but a quick look at my reference says "Yes", 3 over inverted 3.
I had an 1894 Morgan that looked XF but was VERY darkly toned. The TPG (NGC or PCGS, I can't remember which) wouldn't grade it at all. Said the...
It certainly makes it obvious where the wear is. In fact it sort of stresses the point. I think mid-AU.
Please back up one step. What is WTS?
To me this is like asking us what car you should buy. An exhibition collection should reflect your interests -- and be something different.
Very baggie. I'd say -61 or with luck, -62.
