I never look at price guides anymore. I know people who spend money on a new Redbook every year. To me they are buying another book for their...
Asking is one thing, getting is another.
Nice drawings. If you could post some for all of the 1840 large cent varieties I'd appreciate it:-)
Reasonable to some is stupid to others. Sometimes I think I'm reasonable but later on in reflection I feel otherwise:-)
Exactly! Collectors are going to pay what they think is reasonable for a coin they like, regardless of any price guide. I use eBay and auction...
Even at a particular grade the value of a coin can vary significantly; coin guides don't reflect that. Look at, say, MS 65 examples for a...

I wanted an early Lincoln matte proof and bought a 1909 details (questionable color) example. I spent several hundred dollars for it but at the...
At first I thought it was the scotch but then realized this was an animation.
If you're an ANA member you don't have to join NGC to submit coins; just fill out a form.
I agree with much of what you said. I personally started collecting coins as a teenager and then pretty much stopped for college and then family...
If you are talking about the most rare and expensive coins then yes, only a very few can afford to buy them. However, there are less rare and...
I forgot all about those times and having to wear school directed gym clothes. Half the time the jocks didn't have to dress or participate in...
In not to many years I'll be a 70 and definitely not MS; maybe BS.
