Wow! $9200 is not unreasonable for that. I've shot images of a high end collection of this kind stuff that this would be a centerpiece for....
Looks like you have strike doubling on the bottom of the 2.
It's not the big one, but you should look to see if it's any of the minor DDOs. There are 10 different DDOs, including the one that's obvious....
Uh, that's a 20-S. You realize that mistaking a 64 for a 65 is a $300,000 mistake on that date, right? ;) To respond to your initial question,...
Assuming the dealer with which you make the trade will be submitting to the TPG at the same time you would, it won't be any more or less likely to...
OK, then "submitting" it by trading it to a dealer for a coin in his show submission will leave you less buried in your show souvenir than had you...
If all you want is a label, then find a dealer who is submitting these in large enough quantities to get the lower rate. They want 70s, and will...

I tend to keep coin stuff off my desk at work, but I have been known to be typing in a keyboard under pieces of paper and other office debris.
Just picked up a nice 1723 Wood's Hibernia Farthing. I think I now have 4 coins for the 1723 slot of my prime number set (Rosa 1p, 2p, this guy,...
This is pretty much the standard look of a 1950, unless you want a cameo, and even some of those have somewhat shallow mirrors.
They haven't always done this, and the reason that they said it is probably that nobody trusts them after what's happened in the past, and dealers...
The Mint needs flipping off, too. They manipulate the market for their overpriced stuff when it first comes out with various ordering limits,...
I'm the one doing the migration of VAMWorld from the old platform (Wikispaces, not Wikileaks) to the new one. The message board, as you see, has...
Separate names with a comma.
