Anyone else have any experience cracking the new PCGS slabs? One of the things that started my collecting journey when I was a wee lad was one...
If you haven't gotten your copy yet, or if you need a great birthday gift (or if you want to share your hobby with someone new to numismatics),...
Hey all - got some great coins for you guys today, and I'm willing to make a deal. Just send me a PM, the cost of shipping and Paypal are...
As some of you may know, I'm working on a type set where every single coin in the set is Prooflike. You can see my progress here: [IMG]
In the US scale, it would be a mid-range AU (53 maybe?). In the British scale, it would be EF.

Even a super cheap point and shoot camera does a better job than a scanner. Heck, most phones these days are better than scanners.

The term "milk spots" has been around for a long time. Tomaska used the term to describe the spotting you sometimes see on mid-20th century proofs...

Looks like an attractive coin, but it is not worth the cost/fees/shipping/insurance etc. Enjoy it as it is.
Didn't watch the whole video, but I skimmed it. What are you considering purchasing? A point and shoot camera? Yes, I used that for a long time,...
There are professional associations for coin dealers, but they are generally ineffective, corrupt, or pointless. The ANA and PNG come most quickly...
My sister gets one whenever she sees them. She loves them. They are neat mementos of our travels, but I wouldn't say we "collect" them.
If you are looking for circulated silver 3-cents, it might make more sense to browse the raw sections and send them in for yourself. Coins in the...
