Saw a raw 1854 half cent this weekend with some "contamination" on it that I'm not familiar with. The coin was well struck and from what I could...
I can't see the link. Why?
If it weren't for the "OPT OUT" option (which I just learned about) I wouldn't be doing much buying. And DEFINITELY no selling. Actually even...
You just have to say to yourself, "I'm not going to collect everything." Then look at your collecting budget and decide what you CAN collect. For...
I swear I saw the OP give us the name he'll be dealing under, but I can't find it now. And I assume the opening hour on Friday will be 10AM. I...
I collect coins and stamps the same way. US only. I start at a certain date and go BACKWARDS in time. For coins, the date is 1964. For stamps, the...
The rush to save Lincoln cents appears to have started. In 2009 there will be the redesigned Lincoln cent (or several designs.) And there's the...
I still do (nothing like TWO expensive hobbies.) And I haven't found a stamp room of the same quality as this place.
I'm not trying to be critical. I just want to get something straight in my head. Does 52 tables mean 52 dealers? I know several dealers occupied...
BTW, 30-35 dealers is not a small show. It's a nice comfortable size. Hagerstown is about the same. The only really larger ones I know of...

How small is "small"? What name will you be selling under? I'm about 1 1/2 hours down the road from the show.

If my grading is correct AND I deduct one full grade, I figure the Half Dime going for about $75 and the Two Cent going for $100.
Trying to decide whether or not to submit my two body bagged coins to ANACS for "Details" grading. The 1834 half dime came back from NGC...
As I understand it, high(er) grade 1909-S VDB's are rather common when compared to the total number struck. It was the first year of a new design...
As at least one other person indicated, my meager gold holding is NOT in bullion, so I have no intent to sell UNLESS I find myself needing money...
IMO, it's overgraded. It may be "full steps" (I'll have to dig it out and take a close look. I believe PCGS starts the "FS" notation when there's...
Ouch! Nice target. Most certainly worth the investment, and the sooner the better. Mine's an XF-40 and that's the end of it. In fact my whole...
Seated coins come in large sets. Then you have the half dimes, dimes, quarters, halfs and dollars. That alone would be a daunting task. And the...
