Wonder when the theft was discovered. If the thief took an hour to move the bucket a few blocks, presumably the theft wasn't noticed for at least...
I don't think a simple reholder would affect the grade, unlike a crack-out, regrade or reconsideration. The label would be changed only if there...
The 1864 MS65RD two cent piece in the link below is on Heritage's website for their Jan 2017 auction. What happened to the last two digits in the...
Mine's not as imaginative as many; but it is my favorite walker. Cal
Yup, 1880/79 reverse of 1878. Cal
Maybe someone would like to do the VAM on this one. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Agree that Anthony's book is a good one. Also, recommend Wayne Sayles' Ancient Coin Collecting vols. 1 and 2. Cal
Probably a reflection of the demand side of supply and demand. A lot of collectors want to complete a set of CC Morgans, but the 89 is the rarest...
I use ammo cans, both U.S. military surplus and newly synthesized, for storing equipment logs and tools at various outdoor places on my ranch....
I'm looking into upgrading my circulation strike two cent collection. So, I looked at the PCGS auction prices for 1870-1872 (the rare years) and...
Let me guess. Anything to do with the recent election? Anyway, nice win. Cal

If only that coin could talk! What an interesting history it must have had. Born in San Francisco in 1922, same year as my wife's uncle. He...
I think the number one motive for TPG services is to make a profit now and in the future. Without a positive bottom line, they'll go away....
At a show in the 80's, a dealer inadvertently took one back-step too far in his booth. Knocked over a table in the booth behind him. Dealer in...
Not just metal, but genuine steel, the strongest of all coinage metals! What could be better? Definitely worth $100K.
One way exclusivity of registries could be less of a problem for collectors and TPGs would be for NGC and PCGS to offer a sticker option for...
I think the moderators on cointalk do a fantastic job. Best moderated forum I've seen. I belong to several electronics forums. I gave up on one...
I'm not sure of the magnitude of the problem, probably small, but it did exit. Most dealers back then, as now, were honest. I once observed...
There is a LOT more to the hobby than grading. I'm old enough to remember the bad days before slabbing. The biggest service TPGs do is not...
Separate names with a comma.
