Nice coin. I like seeing clear fields on coins, particularly the larger ones. Lets you know what they mean by MS-66. Well done.
A nice 1836 Half Dime, Small 5c, NGC MS-62. Better than I usually buy, but I got it for a good price; close to greysheet. I'm having so much...
Thanks. Nice response. Something I didn't know and I don't recall ever hearing about.
I was in the market for a Liberty Cap half cent in VF/XF. Since it was for my type set I was looking for the least expensive date/variety. The...
The NGC Registry Gold Type Set (1834-1933) contains six double eagles ($20). This is the short type set, not the full set starting from 1795. I...
I too just won a coin on Teletrade without a bidding war. I just bid one increment over the highest bid ... and it worked. IMO I got it for a good...
Okay, I broke down and put my few IHCs in the registry. That moved me up about 50 spots....
I AM a slab person. And since this is a better coin I would get it slabbed for three reasons: - Is it legit. - Are the surfaces original. - What...
You beast, you. :eek: I've slipped about 5 spots in the ranking since I last posted my banner. I haven't added anything to any of my current...
If you're confident that it hasn't been cleaned, then "Yes", it has enough value to merit being slabbed. I use the 10% rule. If it costs less...
Excellent. Way to go! IMO there are two major factors that cause a set to jump in price: 1. It ceases to be produced (change of design). I'm...

Got yourself a good thing going. Keep it up. Lots to like.
I prefer camera stands. I had a tripod but had trouble with one or two of the legs getting in the way. Here's my setup: [IMG]
The NGC Registry Gold Type Set (1834-1933) contains four eagles ($10). This is the short type set, not the full set starting from 1795. I have an...
I was only referring to the Hunt brothers and their attempt to corner the silver market. As I understand it the spike in the value of silver about...
Wow, I seem to be on the high end of the age scale. I'm 67 and started collecting in about 1955. I agree that an aging collector base would be...
I've been noticing your images too. VERY appealing presentation. I'll stick with mine, mostly because this is my third time imaging most of my...
I agree based on the historical silver-to-gold ratio of about 15:1. But there are alternative possibilities: - gold is overvalued. - or the more...
How many are there? Probably a lot more than have already been slabbed. Therefore people are paying more based upon the current combined census of...
