A swing and a miss probably for me. I would normally say details on a coin with pictures that look like this. Weak strike and lusterless around...
A few of mine, but certainly not all. If you enlarge the shield nickel picture you should be able to identify what is common on all of them. :)...
Lets see - people use 2x2's with albums and PVC free inserts to hold the coins. Some use airtites with a variety of holders. Me - I just keep my...
Lots of interesting answers. I am one of those ones that do not need to justify anything to anyone - if I want it and have the money I buy it....
Beautiful. Nice pickup.
Define expensive? I only used the newcomb book and it was cheap - did not open the grellman book and it was a little more expensive.
I would guess N-5. 84 touch, 1 near bust than denticle, 1 almost over left edge of a denticle. That is my guess and I did not put a lot of...
Thanks Doug. I see it know. And lance someone on this board has a copper cleaning solution that does pretty good if used correctly. :) I do...
I wouldn't search any of them. :) Last week got $4 in pennies from step mother and father - just dumped them in my change jars for my nephews....

Only been to a few shows myself and only bought 2 or 3 coins. I have chatted with quiet a few dealers and most were friendly. I enjoyed each show...
Cleaned or not cleaned - good pickup. I put it in the AU range also. I am also curious what the ones that think it was cleaned are seeing? To...
I like Dougs answer as the first part no matter what - learn grading and what you like. At the same time I would ask what are you going to...
Would need clearer and larger pictures. From first glance looks like a die crack starting thru the date. Just my opinion and am not an expert on...
Yeah - but they still seem readily available, with the exception of some key dates. Still a lot of coins were melted. Too bad they did not track...
I have purchased a few moderns from them in the past at fair prices. Some of the collectors coins I have priced on their site and like TC...
Exactly what I do on EBAY and DLRC. I know several of the better dealers are like Paul mentioned, but some aren't. I also do not do back and...
