I remember printing out a file for archiving, decades ago, and daydreaming about the day when we'd see digital storage as more permanent than...
Only if you saw them before I did!
Yep, $3 gold is pricey, regardless of how it's been mistreated. I've seen a very few listed close to melt over several years, but never been quick...
It's a dent. Bigger and pointing in a different direction than the one above the date, but just a dent. Damage. But, yeah, I'll keep every S-mint...
It also takes money to lose money. Spend a bit of time with Google, and see if you can come up with a silver coin that weighs 4.3 grams and is...
Could be worse. I came across an eBay listing for a Seated Dollar ring. :( They were asking around $400, so I assume (hope) that the coin they...
It seems to me that "liquidity" was meant as "the ability to get my money back out of the coins". That implies, if not profit, at least avoiding a...
That was @bqcoins, who's still around (hooray!): https://www.cointalk.com/threads/found-another-1942-41-merc.223140/...
http://uspatterns.com/incenondimpl.html In mint state (uncirculated/undamaged) these are five-figure coins. As badly damaged as your coin is, an...
...although it would likely bring at least a buck or two on eBay. As for the L, only a few copper-nickel 1864-L cents are known, right? In...
In particular, set aside all the 1942-D dimes for a careful check. The 1942/1 Philly dime is hard to miss, but the 1942/1-D is more subtle. Even...
In that case I'd count myself very lucky to receive any money back at all. Actually, in that case I would never have been a bidder. What was the...
Right in line with other recent eBay sales.
I agree. It's almost as annoying as "user reviews" for coins -- "gosh, this 1881-S Morgan looks terrible, and all the reviews said they were...
Interesting photography there... ;)
Ah. I clicked in after the auction had ended, saw a beat-up 1886 dime for a dollar, and wondered what the fuss was about. I hate this new "why...
Bad analogy, IHMO. On a playground, a pest can generally bug one other kid at a time. That kid can choose to walk away. On a site like this, a...
I've seen more than one person here recommend that all collectors occasionally sell some stuff, just to calibrate their expectations about value....
In a shop that doesn't specialize in coins and has a batch of cheap/badly-stored modern stuff, I'd have a hard time convincing myself that such a...
One risk, of course, is that you may not be able to find that knowledgeable buyer when you need to sell. Suppose you managed to land a...
