Actually 5 steps isn't bad considering the criteria. The steps MUST go all the way across uninterrupted. Not only does that mean no soft strike...
I've got a War Nickel set in the NGC Registry too. All I'm missing is the 1943/2-P. Obviously or collecting criteria are different. You like...
I'm not going to question NGC about this coin being a proof. My question is, "How do they know?" Just its surface appearance doesn't do it for me....
Rightly or wrongly, I throw all these error types into the flyspeck category. The Minnesota(?) quarter had the same sort of errors. And then...
The toning bothers me, but that could just be your image. And I agree with tpsadler about the grade.
IMO, the keys and semi-keys, particularly of the popular sets, will go up the most both in absolute value and percentage value. BUT if those coins...
A recent article I read indicates that gold and silver bullion is easy to buy but you have to wait several months for delivery. For a long term...
Fascinating. If I recognize the coins correctly, those are 1 pound British coins. That was a heck of a lot of money. Now what do I do with the...
In retrospect it would probably have been best if I said that they are so close in quality that they would really need to be seen in hand. All...
I never considered just buying the pages. I always bought the pages included with the Eagle binder. Certainly less expensive for just the pages....
I've got about a half dozen of those albums, so obviously I like them. If you split your collection into logical parts that will fit into a 3 page...
Here's my 1807. The stars are not attached to the rim. What does that mean? Early die state? Firmer strike? Higher grade? Something else? [IMG]
The more I look at these coins, the more I come to realize that the stars "reaching out" to the rim is not unusual. The 1808 is another good example.
Unfortunately the lighting for each image appears not to be the same. Since they are all close in quality, this makes things difficult. I don't...
I'd go with the nickel. The WL is a soft strike. No left hand. Only partial lines across the thigh. That and some bag marks made it a -64, and...
Me too (NGC). They'll accept both slabs, PCGS and NGC. PCGS only accepts theirs.
Oooooooooo, nice drawings. My B&D is from 1975, therefore it won't have state quarters. And even the coins they do have are nowhere near the...
Price shop, particularly if it's a big show. Don't do what I did. I got so excited about finding a coin I wanted I snapped it right up ... for...
If by this you mean designs (drawings) that are already on the Internet, you probably won't have much luck. I imagine everything will be digital...
Look at your Red Book. There's a Type III (1925-1930), the recessed date variety. If you look at the pics you may be able to limit your SLQ's to a...
