I agree with Doug, if you want it slabbed buy it already slabbed. (I'm assuming that since your post was written in future tense that you haven't...
Nice goal. Of course the coins from the 30's are the toughest to find because they didn't circulate very long before they were replaced by the...
That still reads as 50,000 blanks in the first 120 days once samples are approved, and then 50,000 blanks within 30 days after the first delivery...
I think you may have made a mistake passing on that 1802 half cent, especially if you had to look closely to see that scratch. You say you don't...

Sure as long as the buyer promises to leave feedback the INSTANT the item arrives because the seller has then fulfilled his end of the agreement....
IF the US eliminated the one AND the two dollar notes then yes a $2 coin would make sense. So far there have been no serious proposals to...
I've found good deals at pawn shops, but not in coins. Latest one was this month when my roofing nailer died in the middle of doing a barn roof....
