Right now it's Lange's book on Lincoln cents.
I've got pictures of the coins but I need some closeups of the initials. Proof coins are a REAL pain to image, but I'll see what I can do about...
BACKGROUND: The 1941 proof WL half comes in two varieties, NO "AW" and WITH "AW". "AW" is the designer's initials (Adolph A. Weinman) and they...
Not me. I'm a pure collector, or as close to it as you'll ever meet. I want one (and ONLY one) of each. If I do an upgrade the lower graded coin...
Oh, and there will be LOTS of flyers laying around. Some may be for Baltimore area coin clubs. In fact there may even be a table for that. Look...
There's three each year in Baltimore. I've been going to them all for several years. This time won't be any different. And last year I went to...
Many sellers don't pay attention when they are listing coins in several categories. If they are listing War Nickels they may be choosing the "Sell...
If you live in that area make sure you go to the Baltimore Whitman show at the Convention Center 4-7 March.
I'm headed for Baltimore next month (driving). I'm at about the 75% level for going to Nashville (flying). Then maybe I can catch a show or...
I was going to visit the local club for the first time this past Tuesday. But Mother Nature said, "No you won't" and dumped 28" of snow in the...
The Baltimore Whitman Show will be 4-7 March. I see The Penny Lady will be there again. If you are just a collector like me, choose either...

IMO: If a dealer sells your coins at a show there isn't as much work. I would think 10%, but a friend might only ask for 5%. If a dealer sells...

Not being a fan of toning, I just evaluated in terms of strike. The 1939 wins hands down. No wonder it got a -67.
Proof coins are a REAL pain to image. What you didn't tell us is the location of your light with respect to the coin and the camera. How close?...
I bought a coin from them at the Vienna, VA, coin show in December. Unfortunately once I log a coin into my inventory I toss the receipt. But I...
I use a spreadsheet (Excel). It's nice because you can set it up to contain the info you want. Plus since you set it up, you can edit its...
Kudos!!! Well Done! Something to be truly proud of.
I'm close to finishing my birthyear set. All Mints plus the proofs. All the coins are slabbed. [NOTE: When I use the term “slab” or its...
