Never found one. Had to buy mine.
Depends on what you're roll searching for. If you are your first go-through, you're sorting by decade and your eyes are like mine, 3x will do the...
This is mine: [ATTACH] It's not recognizing my addy for this coin. Not sure what's up. But I'm on my new computer so that may have something to...
Let's see if I can codify the "pants pocket/washing machine" method of cleaning coins. First you have to decide HOW MUCH cleaning you want to...
Cameras often see more than the eye does, particularly with proofs. And I've seen images that definitely show a cleaned coin but didn't see it by...
64 RB But maybe a CAC coin (I don't submit my coins to CAC).
Just received another IHC from MFD. It was an on again/off again situation. One of his other customers was supposed to send it to him but kept...
I tried to use the Search capability to find the thread about the Vienna, VA show this past weekend. I've GOT to be doing something wrong; I...
Die cracks are personal likes/dislikes (I like them). Same as rainbow toning (I don't like it). As for value, they should make almost no...
Andy is definitely one of the best. I get ALL of my IHC's from him. I got my -63 BN 1877 from him. In fact in about an hour I'm headed down to...
Starting in 1925 the Mint recessed the date because it was wearing off too quickly. That's why the date on that coin stands out so well in spite...

Just my suspicious mind at work. Once you extracted the coin did you weigh it? Maybe someone didn't want you to remove the coin from the...
ANACS shot themselves in the foot (ICG did too). They don't have an online database of coins they've slabbed. It was only a matter of time...
I just signed up yesterday. I'll be at both sessions taking Grading, Part 1 and Grading, Part 2.
Just a thought. Could it have been coated with lacquer for preservation purposes? And it was the lacquer coating that "toned". I suspect...
Look at, no. Aware of, yes. Since my coin budget doesn't reach into the 5-figure range I see no real use in dwelling on those sort of coins....
Went Friday morning as usual. And what did I get? Nothing! Nada! Zilch! The only thing positive is that MFD has an IHC coming for me. It was...
Money, as in not enough. One thing that REALLY annoys me is not being able to complete a collection. As I've gotten older I've learned to be...
Almost always happens to me when I get down to the last coin in a set I'm trying to complete. *** I WANT IT and I WANT IT NOW!!! *** Hence...
