I know a guy from the online forums (won't say which one), and I ran into him at a FUN show. He had recently purchased a high-MS 1794 Dollar, and...
Even if you mislabel it, they will catch it. If there was a D, they would see it.
The best coin to buy is the one that you find attractive, and which fits with the set you are trying to build. If you're accumulating a hoard then...
I second the use of silica gel cartridges. They are rechargeable, and do a good job of lowering the humidity in the area.
I've heard that they don't fit in the regular boxes. That sounds aggravating. Yet another reason not to buy them.
I'm not sure where you calculated your $6k number from, but if that is the retail price then it seems like he is giving you a fair offer. I'm not...
Ugh, this give me a headache.
I have a couple of coins that came from mint sets (Moroccan coins from the 50's) which did the same thing. They were clear before the acetone...
1. Below the 1 in the date, there is a small lamination. This is a mint-made error, and should not detract from the grade (usually, small...
Some series are very difficult to find in a prooflike condition. Some are nearly impossible. Prooflike copper is incredibly hard to find - across...
I like patterns, but many of them are expensive. There are some really cool designs (many of them are more interesting than what we eventually...
Shoot, if you really want to go crazy, branch out and get a couple of Thalers. Trace the origins of the Dollar back through history, and see how...
It is interesting, but I certainly wouldn't pay a large premium for it. Not because of what Wally did with his willy, but because it just doesn't...
I like them both at 58. The first one is hard to tell with the mark on the cheek (that's the prime focal area, and the area where wear will first...
I'd be comfortable with this in a 64 holder. The mark in the field in front of his nose limits the grade, I think.
Such much? Wow, kinda surprised.
I didn't know they slabbed US coins.
65 seems like the right grade for this. It is mark free and decently struck, but not FB. It doesn't have enough luster for 66, and the eye appeal...
That has attractive toning, but it is not "wildly toned" by any stretch. The fingerprint limits the grade to 65 for me (fingerprints have highly...
I take great care to never speak in absolutes. There are certainly exceptions to every generality - and the ones you mention are a few of the...
Separate names with a comma.
