This is getting into semantics but the word "correct" means that it is properly called a "CENT". But there's no question in my mind that more...
MFD had a 1944 steelie. I got to look at it closely (in the slab). PCGS MS-61
Look at the reverse of the coin. There's your answer.
Agreed, he did it wrong. Since it took 20 rings to get his attention the dealer was probably in a foul mood by the time he picked up.
IMO a coin should have a good chance of cataloging at $200 or more before you send it in for grading. Since you bought TWO Morgans for $91 I...
Can't tell from just an image (or at least I can't). Did you check the weight?
Agreed. S&H generally will make dealing internationally no worth while. On the other hand there are coins that don't show up in the US so...
A 1936-S has to be have a chance at MS-65 before it would merit grading. You have a nice coin but nowhere near MS-65.
There isn't much good to say about that dealer. BUT He had one thing correct. They are CENTS, not pennies. Yes, the general public DOES call...
They ask me if it's fragile, dangerous, volatile, etc. or something like that. But never specifically what's in the package. Apparently they are...
Not sure. The obverse looks VERY free of marks/dings/etc. The reverse has a number of small marks/dings but the design is so busy they aren't...
New coins have been rather slow coming. Got this one today from Teletrade: [IMG] I've also been slowly picking up some Capped Bust half...
Fairbanks, Alaska. Wow! I was there for a year; left in March 1964. Silver dollars still circulated.
Next Balto Whitman show is in Nov. But there's the Philly Whitman in Sept. Yes, or an ANA member.
Probably have to find a specialist in Icelandic coins. That could slow things down.
Sounds too deep to polish out. What you more likely need is some sort of filler. But I don't know if that sort of thing exists. If it were me...
Yep, sure do. I've gotten 80-90% of my coins through this dealer.
If you send it to NCS for conserving AND if it then doesn't get a grade from a TPG, you've spent about as much as it's worth. It's a gamble....
At the moment I don't agree with the "rolling machine" theory. Two reasons: - generally the marks from the machine leave a complete or close to...
Yep, happens often. As I approach completion of a set I start to look around for "what's next". So I may be finishing up on one or two sets and...
