Look at it this way. If the owner thought it would make -69 or -70, the coin probably would have been submitted to a TPG. If the coin is raw...
Which part of Antarctica? I've been to Pole Station by way of McMurdo. And I've been to the Palmer Peninsula by way of Ushuaia. And where did...
My understanding is that adjustments are done to the planchet BEFORE striking. Therefore I would expect the striations to be in the fields, not...
I'm the type that if I can't afford a coin, it remains a hole. An annoying hole, but nevertheless a hole.
PCGS or NGC (your choice). As for grade, what will your wallet support? I personally believe in buying the best you can afford.
I wouldn't be surprised if there is a STRONG lobby in Congress to retain Roosevelt. After all he made a name for himself by being the only 4 term...
Remember, on eBay the customers do the policing. That's why some auctions are pulled when others, seemingly the same, aren't. And who knows WHAT...
And don't forget Intercept Shield particularly if you decide to go with pre-1965 MS coins. As to what grades you should go for, compare Red Book...
Nice coin. Shows plenty of detail so that someone will get a good idea of what the design would have looked like when new. And that's my aim when...
The stamps are VERY common and of no value. Even as a philatelic/numimatic combination it's really only the Franklins that give them any value.
Actually two. I bought a slabbed 1862 $1 gold that turned out to be the DDO variety. Breen 6074 or VP-001 (I don't know that reference). Only...
At one time I was cracking out coins I was buying for my type set. I was putting them in Eagle Holders; they looked nice. Then I changed my mind....
And this is the reason I don't crack coins out of slabs. The seller saved the labels. But there's no proof that the label went with the coin of...
Bidders seem to be ignoring his feedback. If they would use Toolhaus they would see he's had problems with this in the past.
IMO a lot of the early coins have been "retouched" (no one would actually clean a coin, would they). :rolleyes: Oops, I should have used the...
He's piling up a bunch of negatives and neutrals. IF buyers are paying attention his sales should drop along with his rating.
Bummer not getting that coin at the auction. I tend to be attracted to coins with prominent die cracks. As for the coin you DID get, gorgeous. I...
This is one of the problems with commercial albums. You have to accept their definition of what a complete set is. Sometimes you end up with empty...
Agreed. The coin was probably used as a pin or cuff link at one time and the solder spot is still present. Could even be silver solder.
Interesting. I don't collect modern coins so I wasn't even aware that there were two different metal types in 2009. That's why I come here often.
