This just happened to me Saturday at a show. I was looking for mid-grade MS Braided Hair large cent. There were two of interest. All other things...
I was a wannabe engineer. Trying to learn physics with calculus AND calculus at the same time did me in. I ended up as a...
Correct. But my use in this thread is a YN who's just started collecting. There's some YN's out there that know more about numismatics than I've...
Memorial backs you can pretty much complete out of circulation. Wheaties require you to be a little more aggressive. Drop in to some local shows...
Problem is, there isn't THAT many AND they are quite varied (Lincoln, Jefferson, SBA, etc.) That's why I thought of just giving them away. How do...
I need suggestions about what to do with nice but low catalog value coins. For instance I've got a nice 1943 Lincoln, probably UNC but certainly...
Looks like it had a lot of verdigris spots on it that he tried to remove (eraser?).
I have never sold a big collection, but I have the plan in place it I ever choose to. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, goes to MFD. "Everything"...

Of the coining metals used by the US, copper is the most reactive. (Yes, I'm ignoring zinc since there is only one year that has zinc on the...
Luster should be expected on AU-58's. They are just a minor rub away from being MS. In fact, lack of luster would turn me off, or worse, make me...
I don't collect any of the sets you've shown, but that doesn't stop me from appreciating them. I can see the SLQ going FH, and that '91 quarter is...
Thank you for all the compliments. Since I "talk the talk" I try to "walk the walk". The philosophy I'm referring to is, "Buy the best you can...
Books. That's what's on my list. Manley's, Half Cent Die State Book, 1793-1857 or Fox's, The Complete Guide to Walking Liberty Half Dollars
Nothing spectacular, but they fill holes in two of my collections. This quarter is for my Birthyear set. [IMG] I'm VERY slowly putting...
