Yeh, the show doesn't merit a 5 hour trip. For me it's an hour or less. There's something about Baltimore that lots of people like. To the...
Don't know if pre-show registration is open yet, but this is where you'd do it....
Certainly similar. But you seem to be going for better coins than I was. I didn't look for FT's but ended up with 2-3. Nor did I go for cameo's...
I seriously considered going to the Boston ANA but the logistics didn't work out well. It would have been a week-long trip with several side...
I've got my full set of silver Roosies. All slabbed NGC or PCGS. The business strikes are all MS-66. The proofs are all PF-67. These aren't...
After the summer doldrums for coin shows (at least for me) things are beginning to stir. There's a mid-sized show (30-50 dealers) scheduled for...
I'm waiting for the other shoe to fall. The person holding the only currently "legal to own" 1933 Double Eagle I suspect has been gathering his...
Experience has shown me that certain coins are hard to get in XF or AU. Either they were well circulated or preserved. It took me quite a while...
After a LOT of formatting and reformatting I finally got my inventory the way I want it. I have used Excel. I like Excel because I can make...
Actually I'm LONG overdue to work on a Merc set. They and SLQ's are the only totally 20th century pre-1965 sets that I don't have complete....
They grade the coin VF/XF. What a joke. It can't be both. And if they can't tell which then avoid them.
Because the "iron on" type designs fade or disintegrate after a while, I prefer embroidered designs. But that means smaller and simpler designs....
Other than Lange's guide, are there any other "must have" books about Winged Liberty (Mercury) dimes?
No, it's north of that. Up by Woodmont Country Club. And even by DC standards it's congested.
Shouldn't that be I-270? Another place I would recommend: Coins of the Realm 1331-F Rockville Pike Rockville, MD 301-340-1640 The downside...
I agree. An auction house is a necessity, ergo a fee charged by an auction house is a necessity. But the discussion Hobo and I were having was...
Back in the 70's I used to go to lots of local auctions and a few big ones. The auctions house fees were in the 5-10% range and ONLY paid by the...
You are correct, and I was aware of that. If place and time is not an issue I would use your method. But my method has the advantage of providing...
Also Andy Skrabalak (Angel Dee's) in Woodbridge, VA. No store but has a website (www.angeldees.com). His strength is better grade small cents....
And don't forget S&H. 15% buyer's fee + S&H increases your bid by close to 20%. I figure what I believe a coin is worth, then subtract S&H....
