Paddy 54, if you come back to this thread, do you have to buy a macro lens, or is that something that comes pre attached to the camera? Also,...
I would have bought it too.
In regards to the two seated half dollars. The AU-53 coin has the necessary luster for the grade. As you noted, it has nice surfaces with...
My biggest mistake is the coin I didn't buy. Many years ago I was offered an 1870-cc Seated Dollar in f-12 for $400.00. I turned him down because...
I really like your set. There is one main area in Standing Liberty Quarters that I find few other twentieth century sets offer as a challenge....
The 27's gets tricky when you start looking for a coin in true very fine or better. In the 1980's when I was building a set I almost lost hope of...
UPDATE I am afraid that our attempts to get pictures of the coin were a complete fail. (It did not help matters that my daughter Allison dropped...
Sorry so long getting back to you Publius. Death in the family. I didn't know there were extended pages. This will come in very useful since I...

Sorry, I don't have a camera or a smart phone. If I need to at some point I will have my oldest daughter do it. however, if you have ever had to...

This may be an obscure question but I recently discovered a Seated Dime that has not been attributed by Gerry Fortin. I have read the...
I like the type 1 as a strong AU-50. I think the type 2 is probably a very attractive coin in person but I can't get a lock on a grade because of...
