Sorry for the big pictures but I likes it - here is my newest. Enjoy the solid brown beauty - in my opinion only. Please feel free to post any...
Big rambling PM sent on why I do not like poker any more - bottom line is nobody seems to want to have fun playing. It is all about winning. I...
Not real good with high grades on these, but the first and third look very nice to me. The second one the color seems off from the pictures....
Yep - I know - the smiley face is because you don't want to know my thoughts on hold-em poker. :)
That last set of pictures really shows the difference between weak strike and strong strike. Maybe I missed something, but I can not get past the...
Yep - that is so true. For me(and the series I collect) the key was reading what the best strike features were - to look for those. Probably...
My dealer offers melt value - I won't say it is exactly melt since I am not sure. First I would search for any key dates that may need to priced...
Not sure coin collecting is floundering - but if you like bullion plenty have people have to told me to buy gold and silver. According to them...

See this link for pcgs answer. At the bottom of the page is a pcgs answer. I think when you look at graded examples you can see coins with the...

My credit union did not have any the last time I asked - but I will certainly check with them again this week.

Okay - note to self; don't buy a bag of wheaties from APMEX. This reason alone is why I have not taken the chance myself.
One of the reasons I recommended you look at heritage to me I would have to see the coin in hand. If it was a light cleaning the 2500 might be...
Just too hard to tell from your pictures. I think this is certainly MS - 64 or 65 - but I do no think a 66. Morgans are tough to grade with...
Yep - ag-3. Nice plain example - a couple of digs, but nice little coin.
Just like speedy mentioned - I have yet to see someone use gloves. All seem to hold the coins by the rims. And like Ruben I have dropped coins -...
Sounds like you had a good time and learned a lot. I agree about coins in hand versus pictures. I really only have one local dealer - so I do buy...
Nice coin!
