The only real aspect of the current designs that people don't like is the small size. And the old silver dollar size isn't any better. Too large....
IMO let's try it one step at a time. Dump the dollar bill; redesign the dollar coin to be obvious (50¢ size maybe, and dump the half dollar...
I agree with the "not cleaned" opinion. It appears to have hourglass reflectivity and "life", i.e., it hasn't been over dipped, if dipped at all....
Many collectors prefer to stay away from the lower MS grades (-60, -61 & -62). The thinking is those coins, although uncirculated, tend to have...
Ah, yes. Looked at the closeup again and see that now. Got everyone excited for no reason.
I don't see the cartwheel effect. I believe the darkening at the top of both images is the result of the positioning of the lighting (from the 6...
Hmmm, unless I missed something, this is the "No Arrows" variety. And if it is an "O" the coin is worth about 10x the value of a "With Arrows"...
First of all, congratulations and have a good wedding. I'm out of practice with the '07 High Relief. I got mine then forgot about them ;) I...
I don't collect them but My Roosevelt set contains a number of the Omaha Bank Hoard coins. I didn't pay any extra for them.
I'll be there but on Friday.
Since I have my coins in a Registry Set, they have to remain slabbed. So I can't use any of the normal albums (Dansco, Whitman, etc.) I have all...
Well done! And that's what I like about type sets. You can define them any way you wish. I personally use the NGC Registry as my guide. The...
At my last renewal I opted for the plastic bag. I found that it slowed the delivery time WAY down so I canceled that option. And I had the...
I've added about 45-50 coins to my collection so far this year. That's spread out over 20-25 times. In a year: Definitely the 4 Whitman shows...
What I mean is that you are dealing with what Dansco has decided is a type set. If you look at the NGC Registry type set you will see a larger...
Very interesting presentation. Excellent if many/most of your coins are raw. I have my type set loaded as a NGC Registry Set so all of them...
I know and auction description can be edited after being posted BUT I don't think the title can be edited. IF that's true then the thing is...
Yep, I erred on #2. You CAN have a numeric grade in the description. What you CAN'T do is include a text reference to a non-approved TPG. I got...
Curiosity Question: Does the Mint wrap coins? I thought they shipped them out in LARGE bags to some other entity (Wells Fargo?) and let them do...
I use OTT-LITE lamps with their "white light" bulbs. They work very well for me. The most difficult part is positioning them correctly for best...
