Yes, thanks! Nice reference site also.
Considering it's only 10% above greysheet, and less than 20% of the difference between the greysheet and Coin Values, I personally consider $3200...
Very nice coin. Suggestion on imaging coins in NGC slabs, or for that matter any slab that has the white insert. Unless you manually control the...
Several things going for it. PCGS slab is a plus. Grade looks correct. I compared it to my PCGS F-12. This one is definitely better. I'd say it...
Nice coin. I have an 1874 in the same grade in an NGC slab. I bought before gold started to sky. Just lucky. Nothing I saw coming. Mine cost $975....
Great group of coins. I don't collect large cents, but I can recognize better than average grades when I see them.
What a joke. To quote: "I am NOT a coin dealer and have no desire to become one." Then he turns around and says: "...but I noticed that lots...
I've got a set of War Nickels with the FS designation. They run from MS-64FS to MS-66FS. The problem with the FS designation is the definition....
Latest Coin World has an article that points you to a site with a pictoral (and verbal) description of FBL for Franklin halves. IMO well worth...
Looks like a VG and a VF to me. More like middle grade. Nice!
My entertainment budget has been tight for a year so purchases have been few. And at the moment I'm saving up for a Vegas trip. I really enjoy...
Experience has taught me that the catalogs don't always have it right. Mostly this occurs with issues that aren't popular. Three coins may catalog...
Thanks. I gather then that both are classified as errors. Just to show you what I'm talking about, here's the coins: On the Variety 1, look at...
I was looking at the three silver 3-cent coins in my type set. Two show the results of an obvious die clash on the reverse. But not on the...
Oops, and I STILL got it wrong. The 1814, Crosslet 4 is obviously a cent, not a dime. My Capped Bust Wide Border dime is a 1821, Large Date. The...
Correct. And the first part of my response addressed that. The second part was meant to be a comment on 1809 coinage in general. Seems to be a...
Checked my type set and, "no", my Classic Head is not a 1809. Mine is an 1814, Crosslet 4. But I know the feeling. I've been looking for an 1809...
And I bet the coin will look better in hand than in his image.
The hard thing with a slabbed set is how do you store it. Right now my set is in two slabbed coins storage boxes, like this:...
And significant (read that as maybe having extra value) die rotation starts at about 90 degrees. Extra value mostly depends upon the date. In...
