Thanks both Mikes in the last two posts. That explains why on Heritage you will see some graded coins AU 50and then they say something EAC VF30....
Sorry to hear about your grandfather. For the mint sets you can always look on ebay and heritage to see what certified 72 coins actually sell...
Thanks for the comments. I have been bouncing between VF30 and XF40 since I got the coin. I am never sure about weak strikes. As for the...
Just playing with a little less light. The back ground is a dark green towel for reference. [IMG][IMG] Okay to me the second pictures look...
Just arrived - kind of - was waiting for a couple of others, but it got boring watching all the reruns. I believe this is an N-3 variety. Looks...
Congrats! And nice coin!
Love Ebay also, but I find very few coins to bid on. And yes - once I determine what price I will pay I do not go over it(I lose a lot of...
That is a nice coin! I don't think 66 red - I would say 64 RD, but then again I think pictures make some coins look worse. I would not be suprise...

Okay - I have been searching to get a clear definition of die sinking(swollen dies, weak strike, etc.) I have see large cents were part of the...
Nice coins! What do you think caused that square discoloration on the 1826 - almost looks like it was taped at one time.
I have bought coins APMEX - I can't remember if I bought 4 or 5 coins. Out of the all the coins I was only unhappy with 1 - it was overpriced and...
Nice variety and nice set. Thanks for sharing.
The fun is in collecting them - not what they will be worth in the future. But yes I expect in 150 years things like the states quarters will...
I finally found 3 $1 star notes and now I find that are not really rare (2003 series A A00163737, 2003 series A B 09018412, 2003 K00127812). :)...
Hmmm - now that you have all these nice big silver coins, you can ship me that itty bitty old 1883 shield nickel. HAH - I bet you thought I...
