Wood and coins VERY often do not get along well together. Wood has a bunch of organic volatiles that will react with coining metals. I suggest...
Correct. And the highest catalogue value I could find was $1850 for an F-12. Assuming the grade of F-15 was correct then the $1900 is...
The result is in. I was outbid (not surprisingly). I wonder how many Teletrade winners get shocked when they get and invoice that includes the...
The dark spot close to the "C" on the inside of the wreath looks to be a carbon spot, but it's not as prominent in hand as it is in the image....
Thanks, all. Right now that's the way it's working. The ones I have range from MS-63 to MS-66. I've got all the images. Mostly likely...
Just added two IHCs to my set. Not halfway yet but steadily working at it (I believe these two make 25 that I have). [IMG] [IMG]
They are hard to find but look for nickel 3-cent coins with ALL of the lines complete in the Roman numeral "III" on the reverse.
Only to me. I bid then don't worry about it anymore until I have to pay. I don't want to hover over my keyboard to see how I'm doing at the last...
Nope, it doesn't bother/worry me. I do the same thing on eBay. I decide what I believe an item is worth, then take into consideration the...
The auction hasn't started yet. It's not until Sunday, 10 Oct.
Interesting that no one mentioned The Complete Guide to Lincoln Cents by David Lange. Is his book not considered authoritative enough?
Thanks, people. Considering your comments I think I'll take a weak shot at it. By weak I mean F-12 money MINUS the buyer's fee and S&H.
Your opinions once helped me decide NOT to bid on a coin on Teletrade. REASON: The coin wasn't as good as the grade on the slab. Please give...
By now most people here know that I'm VERY pro-slab. If I were buying a coin that costs that much I'd only buy it slabbed. If it's truly BU...
Nice IHC. I don't have that date yet. Right grade for me but I've been buying BN rather than RB to save a little bit of money. I blew most of...
Because albums are restrictive in terms of the definition of a type set, I don't use them. I have a type set based on criteria that I established...
Yeh, it worked out to my satisfaction. And for bullion material coin dealers can work on a closer margin than a pawn shop can. Why? Because...
WOW!!! Well done with those Large Cents. I don't have anything like that. All my album sets are 20th century.
here's what I picked up. The first item is an upgrade. I used the "before" coin as a trade-in for the "after" coin. Here's the "before and...
Intercept Shield albums too?
