Sadly sir, many do. Its a natural extension of putting our coins in plastic slabs that eventually the plastic will be the object of desire to...
One bit of advice, don't get hung up on "rare". In world coinage you can find items that maybe only 30 were struck. Does it make it a million...
I would think at least that. Sometimes its just amazing what US coins go for versus ancient ones. I think its the whole "complete set" thing that...
Conder, what do you think "the coin" would go for, the specimen AMERI chain? How about the 68 red wreath? I just remember those from like 15-20...
I just don't know I guess. I know coins were melted in 79-80 but most were defective. Most good US coins, (meaning not bent, corroded, holed,...
Good thoughts. For me, I never sell coins and am an accountant by day. I really don't want a "busman's holiday" and have to create spreadsheets...
(raises hand guiltily) Um, yeah, I have no clue what coins I own. I know many, and if I see others they may ring a bell, but others still I can...
I agree. In general I agree with the statement, its the reason modern baseball cards collapsed in value, too many made as "collectibles", and not...
Btw Calpurnia, here is the story why I bought my avatar coin: http://www.cointalk.com/t194425/
I have been a big fan of Detecto! :) I may disagree with his opinions on a couple of things, but I am sure I disagree with a lot of people's...
Cool coins man. You are so lucky you live near this great show. I bet those Curacao pieces are scarce!
If you cannot afford to make a bulk order, see if someone at the local coin club or a buddy to split an order with you. Best long term way to buy...
Detecto, now you are getting down to the nuts and bolts of collecting. Knowledge. I agree with posted suggestions of where to look. The...
But you do not understand. A country like Greece is trying to say they own all coins struck in Greece. Problem is, these were made to be traded....
Lol at least he showed the edge so buyers don't have a lot of excuses. Sad isn't it Dmitry, I bet you that coin will be sold by the...
If it is real, looks like someone tried to polish it on a grinding wheel or something. Short of those marks, it appears to be a genuine cob....
:) Yeah, its kinda funny how we always remember when we did well, and tend to forget all of the junk, cleaned, overpriced coins we bought. I...
Makes you wonder what "the coin" would sell for, huh large cent guys? What about a strawberry leaf or other rarities? Chris
That coin needs to be soaked for weeks in distilled water. It would help remove/break up the mineral deposits. I am not guaranteeing it will be a...
Just like if the number of Newfie coins was the same survival rates as sogdian coins would cost multiples of current prices. There always a lower...
