IMO it's AG-3. Stars on the obv. and letters on the rev. are merging into the rim. With a bit of luck you might get a G-4.
I'd worry about some of the chemicals in the glue of the self-adhesive 2x2's. I don't KNOW that there's a problem, but better safe than sorry. I...
The ANA Guide for me is a MUST. I keep referring to it so that my "grading eye" doesn't drift. I like the Red Book for a quick reference. I...
I thought that the US Mint didn't sell coins, period. I thought bags went to either the Federal Reserves OR third parties like Wells Fargo for...
My reason for leaving slabs as slabs is that I will probably die with my collection intact. Slabs give the people who inherit my collection a...
My '09-S VDB, '14-D, '22 Plain, '55 DDO and soon my '09-S are in slabs and will stay there. Nothing else has enough value in the grades that I...
My understanding is that you'd probably get mugged. I was down there in about 1980 or 1981 in Panama City and during the day you were okay...

IMO, get one $50 coin rather than five $10 or ten $5 coins.
Yeh, you almost can't move at the Vienna show. If it weren't for my main dealer being there, I probably wouldn't go. But the BIG shows at the...
I went to that show once. Very nice mid-sized show. It's a bit of a drive for me, so I stick mostly to the shows in the DC/Baltimore area. Show...
Delivery Confirmation for items worth less than $200. More than that, send Registered.
There was a time, well into the '70s, that I would bet that if you pulled 5 nickels at random from your pocket or a cash register, at least 3...
BTW, here's the coins I'm talking about: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/dcderoo/1-1820-MS63BN-LargeDate.jpg...
I'm trying to put together a typeset and the large cents from the 1816-1857 time period (Coronet) have me confused. The basic question is, "What...
Yep, sure is. It's a VF-25. I think I'll keep it. :)
