They're ugly and dull when heavily worn, which is the only way I saw them as a YN. In higher grades, they've sort of grown on me -- they used to...
Looks like terrible environmental damage and cleaning to me. I'd buy it at melt, but not at that price.
Pretty sure everybody here recognizes you as not-a-troll by now. :) That said, I can't make out anything at all on the photo. Can you try taking...
I think you'll have a difficult time finding a coin with this level of detail slabbed lower than VF25. I'm pretty sure I could find several fairly...
If you're working this hard to post-process photos, there would certainly be a temptation to "improve" the appearance of the coin or conceal...
LOL! Between this and the announcement that eBay will be replacing their "coin catalog" (nope, I'd never heard of it, either) with PCGS's, I...
Wish I'd had more time to spend, especially on that killer NC quarter mint-errors educational exhibit. I did spend probably an hour with the ANACS...
The quarter, too. That date doesn't look right at all, the mint mark is in the wrong position, and the rims look like a bottle cap. General rule...
That would definitely bump up my opinion of that dealer. A very fair offer.
Thing is, if I hop on with my phone and check, I see LOTS of new listings, with the "newest" ones I can see on my Mac appearing way down on the...
I've mentioned frequently in the past that I like to camp out on eBay's newly-listed Buy It Now auctions to catch items and lots listed well below...
Wonder what the dealer gave for them? At the local show Friday I was quoted 13x, 14.6x and 15x for junk 90% (decided I won't be selling any)....
Wow, that (and some of the others) looks like there was condensing moisture with contaminants. It's like they were stored in a high-humidity,...
Yeah, well, some people collect cabbage-patch kids. ;)
So, what you're asking is something like "where am I more likely to find silver, in dimes or in halves?" A couple of years ago, I would've said...
As a buyer, I agree completely. As a seller, I would have exactly the opposite attitude. (Although I'll bet the "winners" of those "emotional...
And that's why *I* always end my bids in either .02 or .52. ;) (Actually, I randomly vary the last digit or two. It hardly ever makes a...
Sure they do.
The set calls out different compositions, and bronze IHCs only started in 1864. It's technically correct (the best kind). Also, it's weird -- I...
I've accumulated several coins that I'd really like to get slabbed for resale -- mostly to be authenticated and given details grades. I was...
