There are fervent collectors of sample slabs. If you look at the aforementioned site, I actually sent in pics of a new type of sample slab I...
Au-55 $30
It is most assuredly NOT cherried. I paid a handsome price for it, but I think it's worth it. It's actually in an NGC AU-58 holder, but in my...
Um, none? I know that carrying around a 'pocket piece' not unheard of, but I believe that numismatists have a duty to preserve coins, and...
Picked up this bad boy today. Check out those steps!!! [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
This is absolutely true. I obtained an absolutely fantastic roll of 1958 quarters...all gems. It took me about an hour to get the darn things out...
EF-40/45. Very nice coin.
It is certainly possible to obtain one raw. Normally I would tell you that you need to learn how to grade them before purchasing one, but the...
Yeah, those are called the "bar-O" variety. I understand that when they first came out they were extremely popular, but there are a ton of them...
Sure: The biggest hit I see on the obverse is just below the 9 in the date. It actually extends from the 1 to the 5. There is also a decent...
Lots of the craft stores around where I live sell the Tensor, as well as plenty of other full-spectrum fluorescent bulbs. I have used a Tensor...
167,703 is the correct mintage for the 2004. I normally see these coins going for $70-$100 raw or MS-69 (no steps.) The 2007 is the real ringer,...
Sorry to disappoint, but I wouldn't come close to calling it a 66 from those pics. What do you mean it's not "BU." Do you mean it's not...
It really depends what you're looking for. If it were me, I'd be keeping all of them. 1950-D is the obvious choice, but you likely won't have...
Oh...I just saw what might be a tick/cut in the field behind Jefferson's head, just southwest of the B and E of "LIBERTY". If that's really there...
If, on the first picture, the thing on the obverse, right above Jefferson's head, and the thing on the L of "LIBERTY" are not really there, then...
With those pics, I'm gonna say 40, on both the grade (EF-40) and price ($40.)
VF-20+ (maybe 25, 30)
Assuming it was scrap, I think you did okay. It sounds like you got 10 times face value, which is the going rate for scrap 90% silver coins....
I have seen very few of these coins without full steps, but for some reason, PCGS is stingy handing out the FS designation for these coins....
