PCGS calls them "mechanical errors". I had a mis-labeled Roosevelt dime. They reholdered it for free. And since I gave it to them at a show, I had...
Gentle reminder. The show is this coming weekend. CAUTION #1: Thursday the 26th is really dealers only and it'll cost you $100 to get in....
Actually it cost slightly less than greysheet Bid. I bid higher but it turned out that wasn't necessary. Most half dimes I run into that are XF...
Don't know. When I first saw it I thought it looked better. But I'm not going to do anything about it. I've got one graded AU-58, but I like my...
NGC definitely does full proof sets in a single holder. My 1952 and 1953 proof set are like that. But it's expensive. Just multiply the single...
Half dimes are not on the top of my wantlist, but I keep an eye out for good ones. Trying to put together an XF/AU set. [IMG]
BTW, if you don't like some segment of numimatic collectable, no problem. I personally don't care for most of the Mint's special items (state...
That seller is in for a rude awakening. If you use PayPal there's no such thing as "all sales are final". But for added protection use a CC too....
But at least the seller says it's been cleaned. Of course "cleaned" is an understatement.
Probably released too late for any to be on sale at the Baltimore show (Fri, 27 Mar). I'll pick up some Unc DC quarters and get the territories...
Price sounds about right for that coin. I'm guessing a MS-63. The marks on the face probably keep it from going to MS-64. Only thing that could...
I don't collect them, but that certainly doesn't keep me from admiring them. A truly eye-catching piece.
I too believe you can get good/great bargains off eBay. You just have to be up on prices AND patient. I just got an AU-55 Capped Bust half dime...
Yeh, we've mentioned him before.
That was my analysis too. The economy doesn't help, but probably also lots beginning collectors. His material was just too expensive for most of...
Thought you might be interested in comments about the show from the "other" side of the table. This is from MFD who is mainly a high-end small...
Amazing. Two comments about the 1995 cent. 1. Which side is doubled? But worse. 2. NGC labeled it "DOUBLE DIE", not the correct term "DOUBLED...
This is a pessimistic view (but also probably close to the truth). The Pres dollars you spent most likely went straight to the bank with little...
First, Pres dollars don't circulate so the banks don't like to keep them. If you want MS coins, then a Brinks (or whoever) roll is the way to...
I think on special occasions one non-numismatic thread won't overly corrupt CoinTalk. Assuming my opinion is correct, add you Irish humor here....
Separate names with a comma.
