Nothing wrong with a test. I think you got a nice batch being sent in - the only questionable one I saw was the 1912. The color looks off in the...
This is what she is trying to avoid. Miz should never meet a stranger alone. I am sure you meant well, but not worth the risk. Chris and...
Hmmm - some people like dark toning. To me it hides the luster in pictures and if too bad it hides it in hand. Just my opinion. As to the coin...
I have not seen one in person yet. But boy the tabs bug me in pictures.
Well according to that one article - On Dec. 13, 2010, the court dismissed with prejudice Collectors Universe’s claim. So that allowed the 3...
What is funny - I wonder how many people see NGC(and they would admit it) on RLM's grade the coins use the +1 on what they think the grade is? I...
I agree - internet attributions can be risky. I think web resources(assuming you know the source) can assist in attributions, but should not be...
Never knew those were there. I am always looking at her coins. This should be interesting. I have a feeling you might even get a few customer...

Always good to read your reports. Especially since there is more than just the show and coins.
Yes - ignore the taunts. You know how much fun collecting is. Heck even at my age sometimes when I mention it people shake their heads and can't...
Not sure if it is viable, but couldn't they get a temporary post office box? Or maybe send to a local western union, UPS or FED-EX? Sometimes...
I don't believe they made proofs in 1966. The 1961 looks like a proof, but not the 1966(proof like maybe). Just my opinion - wait for an expert...
Well you won't find many coins that go into world class collections bargain hunting.
Nice find.
MMNS Website - look towards the botton. They are now working with MNS according to the website. This is what confused me at the local show - I...
