I was there Friday morning also. Came up by Amtrak. Nice time to go because the place is not crowded. That happens on Saturday (and maybe Fri...
Back from the show. About this particular question, it came out as I expected. The 3-coin set plus the 2-coin set got me $650. That's slightly...
Well, gotta hit the rack. My day will start at 0600 tomorrow. If all goes well I should arrive at the show at opening time. I'll have lunch...
Agreed. Bullion value is about $670-680 and that's about what greysheet BID is. So it appears they are generally considered to be bullion coins....
I was in the service in the early 60's and the pay wasn't much. In fact it was $180/mo for me (Vietnam was when military started going up). But...
I have an 1983/4 US three-piece Olympics proof set (two $1 silver commems & one $10 gold commem) with the box, case and COAs. I'm taking it with...
Lighthouse finally got back to me. Retail prices ARE included in the referenced catalogue. AND it's in English. I'll try to remember to give...
eBay has got other new problems at the moment. The one I keep encountering is an eBay error message when I try to log in anywhere else except the...
Just an interesting bit of news: [IMG]
That's one thing nice about numismatics. You get to define your collection(s). My Lincoln set DOES include the '22 Plain and the '55 DDO. Just...
So, out of curiosity, are you going to go the "upgrade" route or will you work on a new issue? Is the S-VDB indicative of the quality you were...
Good going. It looks like you really took care when you bought your SL and Trade dollars. Well done.
Not me. I'm lucky if I can BUY one coin a month. But I've got at least one goodie coming up this weekend.
The closer to the date of the trip you get, the more the ticket costs. So I made my reservation about a month ago. Plus I get a senior citizen...
Good luck at your show. Friday I take the train up to Philly for the Whitman show. Gonna try and convince a dealer that they are asking too much...
I prefer Intercept Shield for the "protective" capabilities.
Very nice! I'm impressed.
For those of you close by this is a show worth going to. It's a large-sized show so you can find almost anything you're looking for, particularly...
I disagree. In my mind "clean" and "conserve" are NOT synonymous. To me "conserve" means to remove material from a coin that has nothing to do...
Same here. I'm not interested in any US Mint items struck after 1964 so I don't actively collect anything after that date.
Separate names with a comma.
