Something doesan't seem entirely kosher with that '75 penny. I'd love to see a picture or hear a description of the metal at 11:00 O'clock. Does...
I fear your preferences are going to make it difficult to profit. It's not necessary to specialize to make money but you do need focus. You must...
I think that's just the angle of the photo. You could almost shave with those steps.
Should go 65 FS.
The fields of the die are irregular after being hubbed. There are waves and areas at different heights and angles. In order to show the...
For the main part the production of PL's requires that the dies are ground before being put into use. Philly used to do this with a few dies from...
Indeed. I've been wrong about this unprecedented increase in demand for 30 years and it's possible I'll never be right but the fact is that when...
I slammed Krause earlier in this thread. I just spent an hour looking over the first edition I've seen since the mess that was the 2015. They...
As I said several posts back about why it wouldn't be productive for us to try to reach some sort of consensus; we have very different...
People can collect what they choose. If they prefer 2c pieces or silver eagles to clad quarters it doesn't mean thgey hat clads. But it's not...
Of course there's a natural state for everything. The natural state of a pendulum is at its lowest point because it's the average no matter how...
Nonsense! I have never in my life heard anyone say that a 19th century US gold coin isn't really a coin so isn't collectible. I've never heard...
I'd write a letter but I believe this is intentional. How else do you explain that a $7 classic wholsales for $3 and a $7 modern wholesales for $15?
It may not seem like it the last few months but I actually have a lot of sympathy for the authors of the Redbook. They didn't create the grading...
Somehow it doesn't seem likely to be worth the trouble and effort. After extensive argument it seems that our differences are primarily ones of...
This is not strictly true. I said that many foreign coins sell at or based on Krause prices because neither party knows better or because it is...
So you're suggesting that absurdly low prices for US and world moderns are real but real coins are underpriced! You're suggesting that Krause...
Great site. Thanks so much for all the effort and knowledge.
If the Redbook lists a $700 1982-P 25c for $15 then I suppose the Bluebook will list it for a quarter. I'm boycotting all the price guides...
It's strange to think the height of the space age in many ways was half a century ago. This isn't to demean more recent accomplishments and some...
Separate names with a comma.
