I've found that if you pay fast on Teletrade, you get your item fast. Paid Thursday AM; got the coin today. Basically I beat the rush. [IMG] I...
All this chat about rarity caused me to look at what I have for my type set. It's an 1877-S. At least from the strike figures in the Red Book, it...
That coin is SO good it's scary.
First, there's no such thing as a holder that will protect for 50 years or beyond. But I do believe there's at least one that would probably come...
Yes, trying to put an XF-or-better set together. But I think I'll have to lower that goal when it comes to the 1811 varieties. I'll probably have...
The respected TPGs probably wouldn't knock the grade down for the dark toning. What they might do is put it in a "Genuine" slab because the dark...
My first response disappeared!? Thanks for the link. After doing a comparison I find my coin is a 2C.
These are the largest images I have at the moment. I'd have to make some changes to get larger images. [IMG] [IMG]
I paid $612 which I figure is about $50-100 less than greysheet BID. Surprised me that I got it that cheap. Maybe the poor economic situation in...
Got a GOOD one today in the mail. Been looking for one about this grade for quite a while. MS would have been more than I wanted to spend. [IMG]
Well done. An achievement you can be proud of.
I stopped playing with my camera long enough to image my two latest items. [IMG] [IMG] Exposure on the copper coin looks good but the same...
When I used to collect my coins raw, Eagle Coin Holders was what I used. I liked them. But now that I've shifted to slabbed coins I don't use them...
I think your analysis of their interest level is accurate. And that's what I attribute their low catalog value to. If they ever change the design,...
Sometimes the average collector just can't tell. In my case I was after a proof 1941 "with AW" half dollar. Saw one slabbed PF-65 (PCGS or NGC)...
I've got a 1795 half cent and a 1798 cent, but I'm waiting for what will be my oldest to arrive. It will be a 1794 cent.
One issue that I perceive as VERY soft is Roosevelt dimes. I believe it's continually overlooked hence prices are low. Even Jefferson nickels get...
I will be beyond knowing. My wife knows who I recommend contacting. If we both go at the same time my SiL and her hubby are intelligent. They'll...
Okay, PCGS slab. 50% reduction of original image. NO tilt. Yes, I know I still have to adjust my camera settings. The intend here was to see if I...
ICG is a somewhat respected TPG. Their main problem is that they're up against PCGS and NGC. IMO they offer the potential to make a profit. Buy...
