I'm thinking of getting the following book: The Complete Guide to Walking Liberty Half Dollars, by Bruce Fox, 1993 I'd like to get opinions...
Finally opened the Xmas gifts today (Dec 26). All the relatives were over yesterday and just too much going on to get to the presents. Here's...
Good going. Now are you going to start working back to 1909? If so, things will go a bit slower but you'll be happy watch the collection grow.
Like I said, "It takes a bit of planning" plus some subjective decisions. Because of that, as you can see, there is no single correct answer.
I just did some quick math, and assuming I didn't blunder, here's what I came up with: 1. TPG = NGC (I use them since I belong to the ANA) 2....
I just got the last section (1890-1909) of Snow's guide to FE's & IHC's. So I sat down and started to attribute my 1900 IHC. Frustration!!! It...
Here's my rule-of-thumb: 1. I grade the coin. 2. I look up its value (generally in the greysheet). 3. I use that value to determine how much a TPG...
Can't tell. Scanners don't work nearly as well as digital cameras.
I take half the difference between the greysheet Bid and CV and add that to the greysheet Bid. (CV - Greysheet Bid)/2 + Greysheet Bid = Maximum...
I know there are/were some serious valuing errors in CV. In my case I was wondering where they got some of their values for high grade Jefferson...
I didn't exactly cancel my bid, but the bottom line was the same. It was my first time seriously looking on Heritage. I clicked on an item...
I'm glad it crossed over for you. This is proof that it pays to know how to grade. If you didn't think it would make -66 but just went by the old...
Congrats. Completing a set to your own personal specifications is indeed a satisfying accomplishment. Well done.
Looks like the two semi-keys would grade AG-3. Based upon that, the current bid of $67 is about greysheet. I personally wouldn't go over $75-80.
Looks correct for a 1949 D/S. Your images are too grainy to grade the coin. CDN says $50 in XF.
The US leased the Corn Islands for a while (Google them; not many people knew they were under our control until about 10-20 years ago). We had a...
My choice is using Eagle Certified Coin albums. Then storing them in a secure container with a controlled environment. Like a safe deposit box. I...
Went to Africa this past March. Anytime we went into the bush the guide carried a 375. Apparently the caliber of choice.
I've often thought the same thng. I can't call the responses so far wrong because I can't think of a better explanation. But I just sense it's...
I didn't order this with Xmas in mind, but it just arrived in the mail. "The Flying Eagle and Indian Cent Attribution Guide 1890-1909" by Richard...
