Yep and several dealers also responded in this thread and so did many more non-dealers. If you knew the origins of the original post(which drove...
Now how did I miss this today...more nice coins Kanga. Love the big old gold pieces.
A few more ooohs and ahhhs. Vote for coin #1. :)
I have looked at that site before - my father even placed a few bids. All of the coins went for way more than they were worth. It was like they...

Depending on the coin there can be a big jump in prices from AU50, AU53, AU55 and AU58. I have the ANA grading book that has a description for...
Nice coins! Good pick-ups. Here is how you avoid bidding wars - determine what your max bid will be. Bid that. Then forget about it until you...

A couple of plain jane large cents for my plain jane collection. Nothing special the 1811 has a couple of little(my opinion) rim bumps, but still...
Sorry to hear that and I hope you get them back.
I think what they are saying is "you can price shop, but know what you are collecting". I mean everyone knows that not all coins slabbed with the...
It is a large cent - who couldn't like it!!! :) Nice double profile.
This is part of the fun on learning to grade from pictures. :) And besides Frankie's are hard to grade period.
Roll searching is perfectly good way to locate coins. I think on some of the sets finding some of the key dates might be tough, but you never...
