I like Ebay - I make plenty of money for sellers and it doesn't cost me a cent. I lose plenty of auctions by bidding what I think a coin is worth....
Question Wondering if you could point out all this wear - I see some signs that looks like wear on the very tips of the feathers and maybe...
NOT this newbie. I caught the PNGS the first time I saw it. And thanks to this forum I skip even looking at auctions where I can not judge the...
Great idea - planned on taking him to the local coin shop. At that time I will suprise him and get one of the books on morgans they have.
I tried talking him into buying a book strictly on Morgans, but he said he could buy a coin for they price they wanted. He has a couple of...
Had him send some scans. Not the best or what I requested, but what the heck. I think for these three coins he spent maybe 120 bucks. With the...
Yes - I keep reminding him about it, but he wants to continue collecting Morgans and I do not want to discourage him. So far he has only bought...
I must admit I like your collection. Maybe one day I will get off this antique computer, get energetic and set up something like that. I would...
Okay - I have to ask. (1) Why would you want to crack it out of the holder? (2) Your scans are so good could it possibly be enhancing the...
Not sure if he will let me have them for a few days to get scans and I do not think my camera is good enough. It was graded by NTC - called him....

Here is a link to the auction. It says it is graded by PCGS - I know you do not like them :), but I think they count. I just happened to catch...
In a message from heritage: Another fine piece from this collection is the 1921-S, also graded PR64 by PCGS. The appearance of a 1921-S proof...
Yep - I think you are right. In all honesty I never thought of all the varieties that could exist on any one coin. The books I just bought...
So what do you think about "The Official American Numismatic Association Grading Standards" book? I just bought this the other day and have been...
I try to do some home work - but it is really hard without coins in hand to practice grading. And I never expect the coins I get at the local...
Well - I think you all are correct. Been looking at the site for about an hour now. I never really knew 1 coin could have so many varieties. I...
OOps forgot to mention that it is variety 05-1868-904 or variety 05-1868-905 according to this link. Without an example I am not sure how broken...
I could not find anything at PCGS, but I did just find http://www.shieldnickels.net/. It is just one of many varieties for 1868. A local coin...
See the attached - I can't seem to find anything on line, or I am just using the wrong key words. I know this is a common variety of the Shield...
