David - if you haven't yet go to coins.ha.com and register - it's free. Once you have done that then you can use the Auction Results Archive. That...
Gotta admit, ya made me laugh with that one ;)
Sounds like an excellent plan :thumb:
Bring it Mike, but I've already done the comparisons. I've tried every type of light you can imagine, and a few you can't imagine. I much prefer...
I don't doubt that Matt. What I was trying to explain was that it wasn't so much the oil that got even more crap off the coin, it was the Q-Tip...
If you read the ANA grading book Bowers explains it quite well. Use an incandescent bulb, 100w bulb - 3 ft. away. A 50w bulb - 18 in. away. He...

I know what the difference is to me. But for every 10 people you ask that question you'll probably get at least 4 different answers. We discussed...
Your guess is as good as anybody else's. Obviously none of us know, or we'd be rich. 'Course the reason we're not rich is because coins make...
I've got several, I'll loan ya one ;)
Doesn't make me wonder, it has always been that way and will always be that way. Spot price is meaningless when you get right down to it. The only...
I'm really kind of surprised that everybody - but you - has ignored this idea. C'mon people, this is not the first time this has happened !
