I have no idea why a collector would need a coin collecting kit. I agree with Spirityoda, education is what a collector needs. Education about...
For any bronze disease. Badthad here sells it.
Yes sir you did say that, but OTOH you are on the PM board now kind of making fun at the very idea of bullion instead of "collector coins". I was...
I am sure we are in agreement sir, I hope so anyway given your exemplary reputation. I always read US coin collecting really delved into the die...
Um, we always discuss what our opinions are for PM prices on the PM forum. I never claimed to "know", just my opinion. I have looked at hundreds...
Splitting hairs IMHO, since many early collectors collect by Sheldon or other applicable number. Effectively they have numbered every die marriage...
I am a pessimist but I doubt that one. I would say $800 is about as low as it will go, given general increases in inflation since it was $400. I...
I really like this one sir, and I am an accountant! :)
Lol, I do that too. Sometimes when I am in a lull I dig up old purchases. For example, I have always wanted a large Iranian silver from the early...
Its a start. Which ancients do you like? I have tons of other recommendations if you want them if I know which area interests you. ERIC is not a...
Should be stickied or plastered permanently on the front page of CoinTalk. Collectible coins may increase, but most collectors will never see that...
Not really unless you get into hyper obscure definitions of the word variety. In ancients, I am talking about varieties like different animal...
Yeah, and its even worst if you are a world or ancient collector. US coins are at least possible. I have sets of books like the BM on Greek coins....
Lol, yes its borrowed. Its been around forever. However, its true. This is why most collectors never wish to buy a complete collection. Ask any...
I think you are right on the shilling. Looks like it was purposefully made to show how the coin is not struck but put together as two halves of a...
No, they only SELL them for that. :(
Depends on the coin. An ugly toned unc? Watered down dip. Dirty coin? Acetone bath. Verdigris? Verdicare. If it's an ancient with lots of...
Looks to me to be an item barely above junk silver, barely. I also would not pay that price, thinking you could get the same coin out of a barber...
Btw Paddy, don't you mean the closure of TWO mints as well as the capture of another? I agree it was an extremely important decade for US...
I liked the story how they were created. Wasn't it a female art student who came up with the idea in a national contest? Brilliant. OTOH there...
Separate names with a comma.
