There's LOTS of coins I wish I could afford -- but not that I necessarily want. If I could afford the 1933 Double Eagle I'd take that money and...
I'm toying with a collection of business strike Euro coins. Since I've just started I try to buy mixed bulk lots. From what I've seen on eBay most...
I'll repeat an opinion I've expressed in the past (buried somwhere deep in the old threads here). Roosevelt dimes (and in my case I limit that...
A recent article in Coin World(?) opined that in the mid-future (10-20 years) coins with the bean will command full catalog or more. And coins...
I witnessed at a show a transaction between a seller and a buyer he didn't know. It was for an 1893-S Morgan slabbed in VF(?) and an 1894 Morgan...
If I buy a coin raw it goes either into an album (if I'm collecting a raw set for which there is an album) OR in 2x2's if no album exists. But my...
Start planning and saving. The November Whitman show in Baltimore is approaching (Nov 15-18). Forget the 15th (Early Bird and it costs) and the...
I made some sort of error posting the reverse of the 1855. Trying again: [ATTACH] The grades are as follows: 1848 - PCGS XF-45 CAC 1849 - PCGS...
About 2 weeks ago I started a Braided Hair Large Cents set (1839-1857). I'm going to try and keep the set to an average grade of XF. Some of the...
I've got the book but I need a good picture of both thr obverse and reverse to properly ID the coin. Appears to be the small date variety but from...
Also there is a 2.5x2.5 size. Only problem, they are harder to find something to store them in.
MFD came through with another great IHC for my set. This makes me about 79% complete (FE's are counted as part of the set minus the 1856)....
I can only speak about the half dimes. The definitive book is Federal Half Dimes/1792-1837 by Logan and McCloskey (hence the LM). But it's OOP and...
By the time the Red Book hits the market the prices are 1-1½ years out of date. Auction results are best (Heritage or Teletrade and on lower...
Poor pictures to make such an evaluation but I'm leaning towards "yes".
I went to this year's ANA Seminars. Two weeks: Grading 1 and Grading 2. [OT: Two weeks may be too much. I think it was for me.] A moral issue...
Be careful. Don't handle it until you know more. If it's been dipped in mercury it is toxic even to touch.
I know there are many people that want to complete collections that they've started (Presential dollars, ATB quarters, etc.), Mint products are...
I bought them all slabbed. Saves the effort of submitting them AND the grief of knowing I goofed if I get a DETAILS slab back.
Trying to use Photoshop Elements to put obverse and reverse together into one image. It's a real PITA to figure out but I finally got it. As...
Separate names with a comma.
