Just looked a Charmy's post. She had a couple with the same sticker.
I got another IHC for my set today; only 4 left to go. Anyway, it had a small round B&W sticker on it with the head of an eagle and the words...
A 1792 half disme. It's not really a coin; it's a pattern. But I could ignore that if I could get one :D
And leave it in the holder (I note that you said you would). Original GSA holders seem to add a premium to a Morgan's value.
I'll be keeping records of cost and current value. I probably won't sell until my profit is in the 3-figure range. And that will take a while at...
The Philharmonic would be okay, but not the Krugerrand. The Philharmonic is .999 gold. The Krugerrand is only .917. If you're buying bullion you...
True. It was more an aside to jlogan's post.

Junk US silver coins have a problem that ASE's and other "bullion" items don't have. Junk US silver coins are only 90% silver and for many uses...
Save yourself a lot of grief and buy one that's already slabbed by a reputable TPG. What will you do if this one doesn't grade? Can you get your...
A full answer would be too long for this venue. Dig out your Red Book to determine what the common dates are. Check eBay results for the cost of...
Agreed. SERIOUSLY, call your insurance carrier and see specifically what value they have your collection covered at. It could be nothing more than...
Home owners insurance for coins is expensive -- period. Join the ANA and use their recommended insurance. For me it cost about 1/3 to 1/4 the...
Your pictures are bad. The coins look acid etched. If you want honest opinions you need to supply quality images.
As I've said in the past type sets are great to put together. Why? Because collectors can decide their own definition of what goes into one. I...
Aw, rats. You got pass 1795. I had 3 for that date. Well, here's my last coin; it's a 1794. I've got nothing older. [IMG]

Back another year. Here's my 1797 entry (someone else will have to do 1796): [IMG] [IMG]
Oooo, good. And a VERY nice coin to get us restarted. Here's my 1798: [IMG]
