Pupa, My condolences on the loss of your grandmother. I know how it is to lose a family member. We all grieve differently. Some grieve...
Let's see. You bid $450. Add the 12% buyer's fee ($54) and your cost would have been $504 plus shipping. Personally, I don't think it was worth...
I agree. That's a great looking Barber quarter. $5 was a steal (if that's the one you got for $5 - kinka confusing on the dates there). A '93...
With all those scratches and deep gouges I'd have to say XF-40 or 45. That's a real shame. I can see plenty of luster remaining around the...
The Barber quarter is dated 1893, not 1915. He didn't pull a switcheroo on you did he?
Indianhead, Great minds think alike!!
Liberty was having a bad hair day on the 1793 Cent. http://www.coinfacts.com/large_cents/1793_chain_cents/1793_large_cent_s03_obv.jpg

At Wendy's today I paid with 4 $1 bills and one SBA. When I handed the SBA to the cashier I told her "That's a dollar". She looked at it, dropped...
Grease-filled die is my guess. Sometimes a foreign substance (usually called grease) gets into the dies and prevents some of the details from...
I found this auction on eBay (item 230210391540) for an "1860 U.S. Coin Indian Head Cent - Proof". This is no more a proof coin than I am. It has...
What is a copper/silver gash?
When was that coin minted?
I agree. While it would have been nice a $50 discount is not going to make or break my decision to buy coins on Teletrade.
VERY nice. Congrats.
I got an e-mail from Teletrade today informing me my coin from Sunday's auction has shipped. No word whatsoever from them about a $50 discount. :(
Technically it is a 1909-D $5 Indian. Very nice coin. I wish I owned it.
If you read NGC's response you would have read that the fake slabs have easily identifiable markers, e.g.: Misspelled words in the hologram...
According to Bob Campbell (an expert on toning) Peace dollars do not tone naturally like other silver coins. It has something to do with the...
I am a Teletrade customer and I didn't get an e-mail with a $50 discount. I am feeling underappreciated right now.
