I got to see the Ultra High Relief St. G that the Smithsoniam has on display. I never understood the hoopla. I do now. I'd really like to get one...
Here's images of the coin I had. The whole coin. Note NO broken wing. http://home.comcast.net/~dcderoo/1-1858-LL-AU58.jpg Obverse doubling,...
There is a variety WITHOUT the broken wing tip. That's what I had. You also have to look for the (very small) diagnostics around the date. Too...
That is strictly up to you. Several things to consider. 1. Do you think you need the added preservation protection that a slab affords? 2. Do you...
I'm into NTN trivia so my mind is cluttered with info of that sort. In fact, tonight is the night my wife and I go to the Pub to eat, drink and...

How carefully did you examine for the 8/7 variety. Also note that there is MORE than one 8/7 variety (I know there's at least 2). The two...
PCI graded coins require a more careful examination. They were a bit erratic. Can't tell in this case. Better images required.
It's 4:30PM Eastern. The site came right up for me but I didn't try to log on.
PCGS is thought of slightly better. But NGC is slightly easier to deal with. They are the best choices.
YaHoo!!! I got the VF-30. And at what I consider a VERY good price (at most greysheet Bid). I'll get my current one slabbed and then sell it....
IMO it's machine doubling, not a DDR.
Interesting comments. IMO it's a G-4. One of the ANA Guide diagnostics of an AG-3 is that the rim on the reverse merges into the letters of the...
In terms of value, there's not much difference between G-4 and G-6. With luck I'll be replacing it with a VF-30. IF I win the VF, I'll send the...
I think this is an excellent example of not being able to grade coins from images. I personally can't tell whether what I'm seeing are coin...
Sorry about that. I sort of knew about the PM feature, but never having used it, it didn't occur to me.
Here's how I evaluate "in between" grades. First, it's not linear. MS-61 is NOT halfway between MS-60 and MS-62 with regard to price. The...
As a general statement, ask around for recommendations about which is the best book for a particular topic. There's plenty of experience in here...
Walter, yep, this is a very nice website. You don't get all the OT chatter that is over on eBay. Pretty much straight coins here. As to...
I was born in NYC but luckily escaped at an early age. I don't want them to get a second chance at me ;) Actually because of the expense it...
