Speaking mainly for my area of expertise, Franklin halves, I would say the market is down. Franklin prices seem like a strong bargain to where...
Wow. That's mighty harsh GDJSMP. What are you seeing in the pics that makes you think its MS-63? I see: strong strike, bold luster, mark free...
If you could post pics of the coin, that would help.... but odds are STRONGLY against you on this one. 1961 is a very, very hard date. MS-65's are...
Well, I paid $85 for it - even with the sellers crappy pics. The 1955 usually has an average strike, nothing special, nothing bad. When it is...
What are you seeing that would cause you to question the slab? There is no question in my mind from these pictures that it is genuine.
The point of this thread is being able to evaluate sellers pictures, and using a little knowledge to purchase a coin. I'll disclose what the coin...
Exactly my first thought also. I like it, although I generally prefer mine a little darker.
Yup. Really frustrating since I wanted to start my Christmas shopping this weekend.
Unfortunately, my first reaction was also AT.
Let's play a hypothetical: Assume for a minute that you were in the market for one of these. You stumble upon this listing on Ebay - a 1955 NGC...
Last time I impulse bought something, I came home with this:
I primarily collect Franklins. My favorite coins in that series are the ones that are the hardest to find well struck, but which I happen to own...
The answer is: in all likelihood - no. Unless it is nicely toned (original, natural toning) it is not worth much, and chances are your dime is...
New rolls are, in general, not a very good way to find double dies. What you really want is Lincoln cent rolls from the 60's and 70's - they are...
I can understand the appeal of a type set, and I am doing one type set (more later), but most of my sets are intended to be complete series. My...
Honestly, your best bet is to probably tell NGC to cross it into one of their new purple problem holders with a details grade. It still can go...
What is the coin and can we see pictures? If its an old white slab, ANACS will likely not do anything. If its a new ANACS slab - don't buy new...
Somewhere around 50 cents to a dollar each. The more difficult part is going to be actually finding someone to buy them.
That's awesome. Sounds kinda like my 1951 Franklin DDR-005, which I discovered. As far as I know, only one other has been found. (see the strong...
BNB... I find your posts condescending, rude, obnoxious, and otherwise belligerent. Furthermore, when you post a thread you do not own it. You...
