This question has been asked before - typical answer is quality. I try to strike a balance between the two - get the best I can for my bucks and...
Can you get some pictures? It could be a die clash, but I am not familiar with seated coinage. As for prices - it could simply be that demand is...
Me too - except at times I do drive and talk, but that is very rare. Usually I just wait to get to where I am going and return the call then.
Yep - easily the 28-D because of the golden toning.
I have been poking around for an hour or so, learned some interesting stuff but not his middle name.
Well - I think I knew what you meant, but voted no. After that I did realize I do belong to a onlinr coin club - called cointalk. I keep planning...
Sounds like a good plan to me.
Work on the lighting - too much glare. Check out Pauls thread on Difusing the light - have the link book marked at home, but not on my laptop....

There are a lot of good dealers around in my opinion, but I would not limit myself to one dealer. I have only worked with a couple of dealers for...
Cool find for circulation - keep hoping I will find one at some point. PS: Mods typically don't close threads unless they get out of hand.
Good answers - I don't think die cracks add a premium, plus some collectors think they lesson the value of the coin and the grade. Also on some of...
Well the seller will probably call this a "novelty coin". I would stay away from those lots that show SGS holders or selfslabbers. Now was it 15...
I would say VF30 and PCGS Genuine simply because it looks like the corrosion has started to eat into the coin. Not sure what it will look if you...
