Reasonable bid for a bulk lot. More than I would bid. $5 higher than CDN Bid, and just $1 lower than CV Bid. Wonder what the Reserve was.
Well done on your coin images. Proofs are notoriously difficult to image, at least for me. And your site setup is very appealing too.
Okay, this is for you Lincoln cent specialists. Do I have a Small Date and Large Date 1970-S cents? If so, which is which? [IMG]
Okay, thanks. I'll go ahead and list them. I've got 8 proof and 7 unc, with different dates. They seem to go for about $2-3 each on eBay.
What's the general feeling about listing ASE (proof and unc) empty boxes on eBay (or anywhere)? Everything is there except the coins.
Revisit S-7a and S-7b. Could be your coin.

For the record, my type set contains five SL half dimes. No Stars (1837-38) Stars/No Drapery (1838-40) Stars/Drapery (1840-53, 1856-1859) Arrows...
Since I don't know what the "before" looked like, I have no opinion on your improvements. They pretty much look like "normal" coins except for the...
The answer is relatively simple. A type set can be whatever you decide you want it to be. That's the nice thing about type sets. You get to make...
Your 1853 Arrows is from clashed dies. You can see it particularly on the reverse: - the wavy line below "TES" in "STATES" - possibly above the...
The use of acetone is NOT intended for problems like verdigris. Verdigris is a product of the coin's metal and some oxydizing agent. Acetone is...
Well done. Nice coins.
It arrived!!! This is the next to last coin I need for my type set. One more SL Dime and I'll be done. There are still holes in the set, but...
Unless you intend to buy a new one each year, buy the spiral bound version. If you use it just an average amount, the spine on the hardback will...
IMO your best way to determine how much you should consider paying for a coin is eBay. Search completed auctions and see what they've sold for....
Looks like a fingerprint on the '42-S. Otherwise very nice coins.
I think I'll do all this outside. I also want to soak a few coins in acetone, so there's another outside project.
My chemistry is a bit older (almost 50 years) so I've forgotten bunches. That's why I asked. I seem to vaguely remember there is a significant...
When the obverse image came up my eye was immediately drawn to the clasp on Liberty's shoulder. I'm not particularly familiar with Capped Bust...
