For some reason I can't find my original. Probably named it something that I can't remember and doesn't make sense now. So I've made a copy of the...
I'm on a roll. Here's my second post asking about non-US error(?) coins that I have. These two have the last digit in the date repunched(?) Since...
I've had this coin kicking around for over 5 years. It's from an Austrian Euro pre-release packet. It's a double planchet clip (Blakesley Effect...
Thanks. I couldn't figure out the flat strike but the (very) full rims.
I think(?) that the edge lettering on old US coins was done with a collar (like reeding) rather than what the US trying to do now. Basically 100%...
Just got around to reading the latest Coin World. They printed my letter! I'm now a published author! Okay, maybe that's pushing it a bit. :)
I get Coin World with, of course, the monthly Coin Values. That gives me reasonable retail information. I also have a monthly subscription to...
I don't know JT, but if he's good (as I suspect he is, otherwise why mention him) I'm sure he'll show up at one of the "approved" TPGs. Assuming...
BTW, the latest Coin World reported the Ebay action on page 1. Interesting to read a well laid out report. Enough time has gone by for them to get...
Rule of Thumb: Go for the best you can afford. IMO "best" means grade, not rarity.
Wasn't there one called Hallmark. Oldish. One of their slabs turns up now and then.
The general impression I'm getting is that if a TPG has a valid and accessable certification database, they should be added to the "blessed"...
That's what I suspected (the "experience" part.)
My experience indicates "No, it won't tone appealingly." The paper had high sulfur content, so you basically went from silver to black. BUT Since...
The mint bags generally only resulted in toning on one side, like coin rolls. Don't know about the sun. Those old brown coin envelopes were REAL...
I do not intentionally collect toned coins. I just don't particularly care for them. But I do read. If I understand correctly, a coin naturally...
I could see this coming, but it occurred faster than I expected. If you look at the CDN analysis of TPGs, SEGS falls into the middle group along...
Not familiar with electro-stripping. I'd still use Google to look for ideas. See if you can figure out where coins could fit in. Just keep in mind...
Separate names with a comma.
