Do you even look at your own numbers ?
Make no mistake Dick, I don't think the coin would ever be graded. I am merely talking about the amount of detail that the coin has - not its...
But you see, those special designations are something that the collecting public wants. And because they want them that is why they exist. Face...
Not all coins of a different type are listed in the Red Book - as a different type. Examples would be the Satin Proof and Matte Proof 1921 Peace...
Matters to who ? Certainly not me. And it doesn't matter what I do either. People WILL believe what they want to believe and nothing else. If you...
My guess is that it was a ground find, and one of those where the soil was not very corrosive. I also think the coin has been in some sort of...
They have a specific name for it but I can't recall exactly what it is off the top of my head, but the double rim is a type of collar error. Not...
ferreram - I look at it this way, any coin that you feel is worth having in your collection is worth the cost of an Air-Tite or other suitable...
Not everything can be found on web sites, sometimes you need to buy a book. In this case it would be the ANA Grading Guide. It has what you want.

Well, I would be the first to say that they should not - not for those reasons anyway.
Tough call on this one. This is one of those where I think you have to tilt and turn the coin to see if it has wear or is just weakly struck. That...
Paul - as I stated earlier, it's not the administrator title or the number of posts. It's because people know me and trust me. So what is that...
No they are not.
Well mine was an old HP. I think I paid about $150 for it probably 10 years ago. About a year ago I sold it to another forum member. He's had the...
First of all I don't think it's a fad, never have. What I'd call it is a cycle. History tells us that the coin market operates in cycles and...
Eye - apparently you had a problem with my refusal to get into a private argument with you about ebay. I refused because in my opinion it wasn't...
I often wondered if you'd ever get interested in gold. There's no turning back now ya know, the yellow metal will forever hold you in its embrace ;)
Sorry if you misunderstood, but the surface finish of any coin is due to die preparation. That is also why when the die wears that the satin...
