I was thinking more the fields on the reverse to the left of the star and around the reins. Coins are hard from photos to tell, I just get the...
Like I said before, there is a new law against it, but that does not make it illegal. Courts have ruled repeatedly coins are personal property,...
Unfortunately I do not have the SNG's Doug lists either or I would post the pics. I do have SNG Copenhagen so I can try to scan 759 if you wish...
Sounds like a good start. I think you will be surprised by not only good purchase info, but your depth of the hobby will be greatly expanded. I...
Maybe, maybe not. I doubt people thought the proof set, rolls, small date, early commemorative, blazing white, pattern, etc etc fads would ever...
The oldest I have ever seen was manila envelopes rolled. I almost bought, (went high when they unwrapped it) from an old dealers auction 20 years...
I would view it the other way. I would say either non slabbed or 69's would be a better way to hold the value. I think the last grade is way too...
I would agree. They aren't common since most collectors over the years wanted to "improve" their coins. Also, once a coin is by itself its very...
I know too many people are quick to condemn coins, but something really smells funny with this coin. The color looks like the color of most...
This is the listing of what the GSA was tasked to sell in the early 1970's is it not? This is after silver dollar redemptions were halted. The...
I would agree that these coins are most likely dipped, and the collector is damaging them by handling them with his hands that contain oils. I do...
Overall I agree with the OP that toning by definition is damage. I have posted I bought tons of toned coins when they were viewed as inferior and...
I generally agree with you Doug, but I would disagree that coins could not be minted and still be white after 60+ years. Remember that the vaults...
I would like to know what it is since I have seen quite a few Franklins with this yellow, as well as some 1950's quarters and a few dimes. I never...
I agree. Once you see a real 1972 you would never confuse it with a strike double.
I agree, part of the deluge of fakes coming in right now. I could go over a couple of diagnostics or tell you to weigh it, but there are more...
Exactly. I like to look at it in the positive like Conder said as well, just think of how much you WILL make as well as not lose. I was once able...
I can usually tell the difference of what a TPGer would label a 63 versus 64, not that I would agree with desirability. The problem is that every...
One of the best reasons for slabs I have heard. I guess I am 20 years from retirement so I am not worrying about that yet. Either that or I am...
Holy cow, someone who hates slabs as much as me!!! :)
