Nope, I don't haggle. Why? Because it's not in my nature (read that as I'm not good at it). I look at a coin, grade it and determine eye...
I also use OTT-LITE's. In my case two of them. I've found that lighting is my BIGGEST problem. And that each coining metal requires a...
I wouldn't be surprised if it's been Photoshopped a bit.
Another good possibility. Like oil on water.
!!!??? Assuming you paid somewhere near book value, why would you try to save a few bucks by choosing ANACS over NGC or PCGS? That's the sort of...
Early commemoratives are/were generally considered soft, but you couldn't prove it by looking at eBay. Maybe they've warmed up. I'll have to...

A lot in liar's poker. Other than that, $20.
The "Nor Cal IX Coin Show" is listed as having 35+ dealers. The "Sacramento" is listed as having 25 dealers. Whether they are worth going to...
