Yeah, looks like they rearranged things. I'll have to see when we get there, but I think I might actually like this floorplan better.
Depends on who's selling, and who's buying.
What scale are you using? R-9 means unique, or unknown (with 1 or less known examples). A coin with 24 examples known would be an R-6 coin (with...
I see absolutely nothing wrong with that coin. I also think it is accurately graded at 45 (due, mostly, to the absence of luster). That is the...
I suppose this is largely dependent on how you define "success" in this hobby, 19Lyds. And that is, yet again, another topic for another thread.
Haha, come on, give me a couple of numbers. I promise I won't make fun of you ;)
That 64D is by far my favorite - and one of the best I've ever seen.
The idea of collector/investor is really a topic for another thread. But I dislike the idea that a collector will blindly bid for whatever coin he...
Really curious what the sellers pics look like. Honestly, you probably paid about what the coin is worth - the obverse looks like its been...
We had so much fun with the last couple of shillings that I will now present you with a new challenge. Guess the grades on these two 1953...
If I were bidding on this on Ebay, I would bid an EF-40 price and hope an AU-50 coin showed up.

Any collector interested in long term success in this hobby absolutely MUST learn to grade for themselves. There is no other way around it.
The zinc has absolutely no bearing on anything in this discussion. The coins are completely plated in pure copper - no zinc will interact with the...
I'd wager it is a 63 or 64. $10 is about the price I would expect to pay.
I'm fully aware of market grading, and all of its implications, Numismat. However, I personally do not grade that way. If there is wear, I'll call...
"Uncirculated" means no signs of wear. Either there is or there isn't - there is no in-between. On this particular coin, there is no wear - so it...
It doesn't matter who said it. I am usually going to believe the in-hand evaluation of the professional graders above the speculative...
No Doug, I still wouldn't say its corroded. The pictures you posted are blurry and wouldn't show a textured surface (I'm not familiar with the...
That's not the conclusion I would draw from this thread at all. And I will say that the price I paid at Heritage (competing with bidders who, I...
Separate names with a comma.
