2x2's are great and inexpensive for temporary storage. One step up are non-PVC flips. Really nice are Airtites.
Drawings!!!??? Buy a Brown and Dunn. Or at least look at one to see if that's what you want. http://www.antiqbook.com/boox/top/213430.shtml...
You got an MS-63. You avoided the MS-60 to -62 range. That's good. Your cost is about halfway between Greysheet BID and Coin Values. I'd call...
I don't like rainbow toned coins. But I'm prepared to make an exception in this case. Absolutely eye-catching.
I'm not particularly concerned. Numismatics is a hobby for me. Prices only affect my buying. If prices go up, I'll won't be able to afford as many...
I see it as an F, maybe even a F-15. VF-20 would be pushing it, but possible on a good day.
Nice reference. I have to defer to you and Super Clashed Die.
Are you sure it doesn't mean "Cracked Die"? I don't see any die clashing in the image. But the reverse appears to have a die crack through the top...
Me too. What is it? Also many collectors avoid the grades from MS-60 to -62. To be graded MS- but that low there's got to be some larger...
And don't rush on this set. Make sure you get what you want. Don't settle for just "okay". There's plenty of them out there, and they are not...
I don't really see them going anywhere until the design changes. Then collectors suddenly realize they have neglected the series. Of course I'm...
Scrolling isn't so hard. Keeping my head wrapped around the idea of the thread is what's hard. And FOR ME it's easier if I can see it all at once.
The large font bothers me personally. I wasn't speaking for anyone else. That's why I didn't flame the OT for doing it that way. I can...
I put together a set of 1946-64 Roosevelt business strike dimes in MS-66, all slabbed. I wanted a matched set. "Blast" white (I don't care for...
My coin collecting evolution is at a MUCH slower pace. Takes me 5-10 years to reach a point where my current interest is pretty much satisfied and...
Why is your font so large? Way too much scrolling involved. When I see it I just go on to the next thread.
The SLQ. I've got the other three. Oops, my error. I neglected to take the grade into consideration. The three I have are all circulated. But...
Excellent information. I had forgotten this. It's necessay to get the facts/terminology straight. Like "cent" vs. "penny". Thanks for memory jog.
An interesting and possibly inexpensive study could be done with Photograde. Since it has 30+ years of history, it would seem possible to me to...
I've never seen rims graded. And I don't recall rim problems affecting a coin's grade (unless they were REALLY bad.) BUT I do know rim problems...
Separate names with a comma.
