For US coins the two I use are the Coin Dealer Newsletter and Coin Values. The Coin Dealer Newsletter is basically wholesale prices...
No, haven't looked, but the eBay bidders can't see them either.
Check your grading categories and standards for currency. I don't do paper money, but I'm pretty sure a crease totally removes it from UNC, and I...
I've got a problem with the "company and standards they like the best" part. Too many people who don't have knowledge of grading. They're the one...
You first ID number is wrong. It shows sunglasses. I found the cent listing. Actually you did reasonably well with the title. I think people...
Spelling is important since people search for key words in titles. If you spell it wrong, people won't find it. The title is the single most...
Yeh, this summer has been good for buyers so far. Can't remember if it was this way in the past. I picked up two common date MS-65 silver...
What two items? I see nothing. And one other suggestion. Check your spelling and grammar. If it's anything like your posts here, you've got lots...
What a start!!! Very nice. But then, that's the rcommended way to start collecting an issue. Go for the keys/semi-keys, then fill around them.
The best pricing source is online auction results. Not only Heritage, but also TeleTrade. Big show auctions results are also good but don't...
I agree. In this case implementation would be a nothing more than a laborious job. So the major fly-in-the-ointment goes back to my previous...
One more problem with automated grading. Not all coins in the same issue are graded by the same standards. A 1877 IHC will never be subject to the...
Way too baggy. I was going to guess MS-62, possibly a -63. Something doesn't seem right.
NOTE: This is strictly IMO. 1. Based on the nick alone, any TPG would grade it. 2. That nick would probably cost one grading point lower. It's...
rzage has got it right. In a type set you are collecting coin designs rather than dates and mintmarks. And the nice thing is that you get to...
First, "collecting" and "future" generally don't belong together. In general: - "Collecting" belongs together with "enjoyment" . - "Future"...
IMO, you buy a Red Book for its descriptions and listings, NOT for its pricing. No way a coin catalog published once a year can begin to be...
The main difficulty is that there are no grading standards. It's still all opinion. And the opinions differ.
It's not a "bet your future on" listing, but it's a good guide.
GDJMSP has got it correct. Slabbing may slow the process, but improperly stored, a RD copper coin WILL go to RB. And given enough time, I suspect...
Separate names with a comma.
