The main problem with shipping eBay items from the US to ANYWHERE ELSE in the world is eBay's "proof of delivery" requirement. That generally...
Another consideration that I didn't see in this thread. Insurance. The least expensive insurance I'm familiar with is with the ANA recommended...
The two key words in your question are "dream" and "afford". For me there's no single coin in that category. I've got 12 coins (copper and...
I had trouble with the whole coin NOT being in focus (okay in the center but losing sharpness out toward the rim). I had two problems...

This worked elsewhere; let's see if it works here:...
Sometimes I get this right, sometimes not: First try was a "NOT"; trying again:...
Okay, thanks. CAC under a different name.
First, I don't even know what a Photo Seal is. But I'm guessing it's something like what NGC does for GSA Morgans. Second, I suspect it would...
Here's the only coin I bought at the Baltimore Whitman show this past Friday: [ATTACH] It's for my NGC IHC Registry Set.
This is the one that popped into my mind immediately: http://www.juliancoin.com/ The dealer is well know and respected in the numismatic...
Saturday should be a good day to go, particularly if you haven't been to a big show before. Sunday should be VERY disappointing. A high...
1. It looks like a "sneeze" coin. Replace it. 2. Then use it as a test coin. I don't think distilled water, detergent solution or acetone...
