Yes, way too much. You can get the full business strike UNC set (no proofs) not in an album for $40-50 on eBay. That's why I say if you can beat...
Here's my latest numismatic purchase. It's AU-58 according to NGC. But it's certainly NOT a slider. LOTS of little random scratches all over,...
You're going to pay over face, period. The question is, "How much?" Since there's $25 face value, I'd say $30 max (20% over face.) But then you...
Certainly appears to be.
Now let's see him try to see those coins: - at the grade on the slab - for at least the same price as paid I strongly suspect the buyer will...
Mmmmmmmmm, nice. I don't collect Barbers except for the three in my type set. But I do pick up an occasional coin just because of it's appeal....
This may be a matter of semantics, but I would think that a Jeff without full steps could not be a full strike. If you can't find/afford "full...
As I understand it, verdigris looks dry and crusty. PVC shows up as oily and smooth. That's why I went with verdigris.

Way too baggie on the obverse. I'd say MS-61 or -62.
The term comes from the days before coin albums. Many collectors back then kept their coins in flat wooden trays with square or circular holes...
Hmmmmm, never saw the term "widget" applied to a coin.
I would say F and VG.
Agreed. But I suspect the price will be a LOT closer to actual than the Red Book would be. I personally us a combo of the greysheet and Coin...
I don't stand a chance of finding it. I don't know the PUPs.
You made me curious, so I went and checked my type set. My type set is my pride and joy. It breaks down this way: Total of 82 coins MS - 19...
Oh yeh!!! Sliders (AU-58 and -55) are great coins to build a collection around. You end up with a set that looks MS- (except to the pros), but at...
It doesn't matter how new (or old) your Red Book is if you are trying to determine the keys and semi-keys. Pick a grade you are interested in and...
Separate names with a comma.
