Nice care package.
Sorry to hear about your loss - at least you tried. Been a couple of times I did not bid and was suprised by what the coin sold for. Doesn't mean...
Not a bad lot for $35. I think you did pretty good and I agree vg on the large cent. I can't see the surfaces real good, but assume no problems.
10x and 16x loop, then a digital blue microscrope to search for really close-up action.
The customary ooohhh and ahhhh - on the coin not the holder. I will have to check that progression out when I get a chance. Not sure if I have...
Hmmm - missed this poll from 6 months ago, but got my vote in. For sending in PCGS is preferred, used both. For purchasing it does not really...
A few bucks, but as mentioned a square is cool. And I still stand by what I said - truthfully. That one has a coolness factor you probably did...
Interesting - I can see some just using this thread to complain(dealers,ebay, etc.). Some people don't like dealers making a living at selling,...
Not a dumb question and sometimes searching this site is not easy to find an answer. I believe the addition cost for the with L is because of the...
LOL. Good one.
Good way to start, can't really say about price since I do not collect them. Well I only started in the 90's somewhere along the way. It averages...

It is halloween and everybody does need some little green monsters running around. These should even scare non-collectors. :)
I think it would be impossible to do - even with a poll how would you handle "no grades" or "non-gradeable". I can see a lot of issues with a...
Well - I know what you mean. That 1857 on the last page looks so lonely. Not sure what I will add - probably some of the more common varieties...
Your welcome. I recommend getting Red Book by Rick Snow on Flying Eagle and Indian Head Cents. If nothing else it helps identify so of the rarer...
My personal opinion based off the coins I collect and look the most at is PCGS, NGC, ANACs and then ICG. In that order. I personally think that...
And sometimes you just have to wait for us to show up - plus once Doug posts you pretty much have a good opinion. Me, I can't really tell...
A good set to complete. Are you doing a date set, or are you attributing them, or just including a few varieties? I am doing a dansco album and a...
And which are you calling the beauty and the beast? Cause I really like the 1813 so much more than the 1846.
