I like that response. :) ...I wonder how many non-collectors would read something into that. :)
Here - here. I am the same way, but have been know to bid as soon as I see a coin I might want. If you are going to only bid so much - then it...
Even harder in pictures - pictures can make the coin look cleaned. The question is do these pictures truly reflect the way the coin looks? The...
My personal opinion is - yes. No harsh cleaning and it looks acceptable to me. Nice coins everyone - including the bust half.
I don't believe I said that. While I am not into the varieties as much as others I would probably still send it to PCGS first(I just like em...
I think if you collect only by date then you can get most in F to VF (from 1839 to 1856) from $20 to $80 depending on variety. The key date is...
Yes - I have two collections going in my dansco album. 1 for each page.
MS63 - but the luster is not showing correctly to me. I wish the pictures were a little more clear and not so much glare.
Try this http://kevinjflynn.com/coinsnbooks_books.html and I have heard "The Two Cent Piece And Varieties" by Myron M. Kliman is pretty good....
Not sure about the 3 cent pieces and not sure what grade you are looking at. The 1872 2 cent piece and the 1864 small motto can be expensive....
Great find for someone.
His pictures are not that bad. :) I think a 66, but the hit behind the ear worries me. Not sure if the pictures made it look worse that it is...
The last two I could not get a good feel for - the pictures almost make the luster look really flat, but I am sure that is not the case.
Don't confuse the grades provided as EAC grades. This coin might be tpg AU58, but EAC VF grade. I do not know EAC grading. I see nothing wrong...
Nothing wrong with doing that. But then I would not call it junk - I would call it my collection. To me junk silver is a silver coin I found in...
Hobo - the hit on the cheek was from the scanner. I would say AU55/58, just not sure about the color from the scanner. Nice coin.
Good question. Junk silver goes in a jug - a few pieces left. Anything worth anything goes in an airtite. I do keep a couple of large cents out...
The only think I can tell from the pictures is it looks AU. The glare off the coin and the dark color can make it look worse than it is. I also...
Surprised at this - as far as I know all the tpg's grade some type of tokens. Are you all including some kind of restrictions on which type of...
Nice coins!
