Which one is better? And why? The Winged Liberty (Mercury) Dime, or the Walking Liberty Half?
I've never sold anything on ebay, and I don't think my friend has either. I am a member at Heritage though. So that might be a good way to go.
Well, I actually think this coin might go as high as mid-AU level. Like I said, I was being very conservative when I said XF-40 since I don't have...
Well, my friend's coin is an 1879-O $10.00 gold piece. I don't know alot about grading gold, but using the ANA grading book, I would...

Count me in! Thanks.
Kinda blurry scans, but what do you think?
If I'm going to collect them, I'd better learn to grade them. So help me out here. Whats your opinion on the grade of this one?
Good point.
At what point do you throw away the gloves and start using a fresh pair?
tcore, I agree about the copy. The real thing is just so darn expensive though. I also agree with the save a little spend a little idea. There is...
I've decided to start a set of low grade Mercury Dimes since most of them can be found for just a few dollars. My question is, what do you guys do...
I know. I don't have a camera with macro though.
You can give opinions if you want. I'm just showing off one of the coins I bought at the show in St. Louis where I met Catbert. The scans just...
Unless they're better dates I wouldn't send them in if you don't think they're 65's.
