Paul and Paul only on US coins...does a coin with a proof mintage of 3200 qualify as rare? I understand condition rarity - several dates have a...
Very nice coin. Of course you were shooting through the cellophane and Todd did not.
I agree - very sweet coins!
That is one interesting coin. The obverse or profile reminds me of the rhinoman in the old spiderman cartoons - just missing the horn. Very cool...
I just knew asking for a definition of rare would make this thread interesting. :) I have several coins over $500, but I just don't consider them...
Congrats! How about a picture - I finally found one earlier this year, but it only took me a year to find it. Now when ever I go to the back I...
Almost looks like a die crack or ship, can't really tell. But it is certainly interesting. In that one picture it makes the S look like a 8. :)
Gotcha ....but I don't own one of those coins yet. But one day I will.:)
Here is one link - http://www.jpscorner.com/Eagle_Slab_Certified_Coin_Proof_Mint_Set_Albums.htm#Slab_Albums. I have specifically for IHC's that I...
Eagle albums has one for slabs. Let me see if I can find a link.

I always look at the coin first to see if I even want to bid. Then I go back and read the whole auction carefully - and let me tell you, some of...
Never could get decent scans of any coins - gave up on it. I then spent several frustrating days figuring out a digital camera. Now they are...
Not a ye expert, but did you look at the coins and compare quality of coin? I know on some of the common date easy to find stuff ngc and pcgs...
Because some do not like slabs and have albums or other display methods. Next a really nice coin will bring money raw or slabbed.
I think what he was saying was an 1805 large cent modify to a 4. Not the dies as you mentioned with the restrikes. I have only seen a couple of...
No what offends me is the damage done to the coins - some where pretty crudely done. But not the topic - you use to see these all the time on...
A really nice coin in a NGC slab will sell for just as much as a really nice coin in PCGS slab. In my opinion some people over bid just to get...
