Reminds me of the one time Larry Briggs showed up at our local show, with a massive array of SEGS-slabbed coins. I made some comment about "some...
It always makes me a little sad to see a family heirloom reduced to a commodity. But it makes me sadder to see people saddled with ever-growing...
All well and good, but I'm considering taking a bit of profit. There's a coin show today, and there are usually dealers there making strong...
MS Peace dollars as a whole have very different luster from Morgan dollars. I think @desertgem posted photomicrographs in an old thread showing...
In the early days of computer graphics, when memory was still terribly expensive, people would try to use as little of it as possible to store an...
Paging @GDJMSP with his AGE pocket piece. No guarantees that any of this wear happened during the Depression -- it could be a problem piece that...

Ditto this, especially since the first poster never returned. You've got me curious. And again, welcome to CoinTalk!
Dad was born in 1928, and he's still kicking too, but we have to yell at him if he tries to do it without his walker.
After viewing the auction, I see they at least knew enough to think it was struck through something. Heck, you both won -- they got $10 (minus...
My take, based on varying degrees of personal experience -- it's quite possible he'd like it. It's also possible that he'd have zero interest....
Haven't seen any yet (and I'm probably still missing a few 2023 quarters), but I've been really, really short on cash transactions so far this...
