Agreed.
1. I've had my 3-leg for quite a few years, but it's nowhere as nice as you're showing here. Mine's a VF-30. Plenty good enough for me. 2. Even...
Snow depth topped out at 20" on my deck, but the neighbor said he measured 24". Windy conditions can account for differences like that. I got...
Good going. A coin associated with your name. Works for me. I'm waiting for the latest Snow chapter (1890-1909) to arrive then I'll try to...
Greysheet = wholesale prices (or as close as you'll get to them) Coin Values = high retail prices Auction Results = best retail prices (Teletrade,...
I think it's possible that it's an "O" that someone was trying to make into a "CC" and botched it so badly they gave up.
The description says "10 pounds of pennies", NOT "10 pounds of wheats". There's no guarantee that you receive even 1 wheat!
Note that I said "leaning toward", not that you were paranoid. And it was your "could be counterfeit slab" comment that made me go that far....
Thanks for the compliment. Before the light faded, the yardstick was showing 15-16", and the snow was still falling. Fun day tomorrow digging...
You're correct (hanging my head in shame, appalled and abashed). I looked at the wrong coin. Current CDN Bid is F= $425. CDN Bids are very flat...
Thanks. Low priority means I'm going to look for a LOT of other coins before I look at commems. But when I fork over the money it's going to be...
I grade it as F-12 or F-15 (but since it's a key it might get a VF-20). Based on Fine, the greysheet has it valued in the $2000-2500 range. But...
IMO you are leaning toward being paranoid, at least with respect to eBay. Yes, you definitely have to take more care when buying on eBay. But...
Here's a commemorative I just added to my collection. Commems are a low priority set but when things are going slow with my other sets, I try to...
Coin looks legit. Maybe not slabbed because maybe it's been cleaned. Seller deals in coins so he's not clueless. Nice coin, but I'd pass.
Let's see if I can codify the "pants pocket/washing machine" method of cleaning coins. First you have to decide HOW MUCH cleaning you want to...
Agreed. But put the same mark in front of Washington's face or on his cheek and no -65 for that coin. Contact marks in the "busy" areas don't...
Nice coin. I see it as XF-45, maybe AU-50. At XF-45 I would have wanted to end up paying about $125 (that includes buyer's fee and S&H so the bid...
As far as the points awarded, to NGC all MS-67's are the same. If you want to include an image, IMO go with the blue one.
I'll only be collecting the Nat'l Parks coins out of circulation and trying to trade for the ones I can't find. I was buying the state coins by...
