Well if you look around on ebay you will see empty boxes or holders for sale all the time. Plus some dealers by a lot of sets - so the ones they...
LOL - that was a good one. :)
I agree with you vess, but the first thought that went through my head was - how can anyone think it is AU. Then I looked at a few other auctions...
I think what Mark was saying was that the older rarer coin would be a fake in a fake slab. Much too expensive to even buy a lower grade coin to...
Not sure if anybody has seen these autions on ebay. I am in the wrong business - give me a buffer,some polish and a slab. Away I go.....oh...
Not sure who first said this here, but to me AT floats with the luster of the coin and NT sits on the coin. In this case to me NT or AT I would...
Very valid comment and accepted. And I am not above buying problem coins that I like - see the thread about naval jelly in coin chat. :) When I...
You can certainly collect what you like and if you like them that is all that is important. And in a light heated fashion - you obviously you...

First to the original question. I think XF40 less wear than the other which I had at VF35. Both are nice coins and will grade at XF at a tpg. At...
If you get it you need to know how it is. Personally I would want a book that covers all varieties. I know there is a quick pocket guide that I...
I know some people can read and remember different things about varieties to help them remember the varieties. The only one I remember off the...
Yep correct. I knew they would be easy:). Also one of the reason I bought them. I knew they were varieties I did not have.
Below are my newest busties. I did not include the attributes so others can practise if they want. Both should be pretty easy. As always all...
I can't speak for ancients, but on those I know or was told that you can end up soaking them for months. Using a supersoft tooth bush(or...
Well if you want good pictures then it is a little involved. A tripod really does help. Next you will need to just play around to get decent...
And on Morgans it can be tough. I think tpgs are tougher on them than other coins just because they are readily available(in my opinion). It...
