Nice post. I do similarly. I actually have about 10 auction searches and 20 or so dealers I usually peruse, and generally do not search...
I think the real key is onlilne. CAC makes people much more comfortable about buying sight unseen slabs, since there is a world of difference...
Thousands of years more like it. The swastika is one of the human race's earliest, most revered symbol for millenia before some psychopathic...
Btw Jason you do have the KM for 18th and 19th century right? You are lookoing for a more in depth volume than that, correct?
I hear you man. I would suggest trying what I do, and that is go through EBay and place snipes at the price you would be willing to pay. Then just...
But wouldn't completely pure ASE's do the same thing? Its never bad to have more junk silver, (in my mind anyway), so that is why I just use these...
I simply am addicted to buying coins. Ebay allows me to feed my habit any time, any where, so basically is equivalent to having a 24 hour crack...

I think your idea, (sorry I did not comment on it earler), was great man. I don't have a lot of expereince with these boxes but they seem fine and...
I do too. I know Detecto sometimes is way too absolute in his opinions, but I just don't think that means everyone needs to pile on with mean...
Lol, sorry man. That is the problem with the internet, sometimes its hard to pick up on things like that. :(
I just have always thrown in "fresh" silver into boxes of coins I wish to not tone. The coins are in holders, and the sacrificial silver is raw. I...
Respect it? Why? I respect no censorship save anti-harrassment or vulgarity. Those are only used to make the discussion civil. I truly reprehend...
I agree. Way too white. Honestly, I have CBHD's that look about this good, and if I saw this one in a dealer's case I would not buy it. I own one...
I do similar to Jim and have had good luck. Reminds me I need to buy some new junk silver to throw in with my better coins, I am sure the old ones...
These have been faked since God was a high school freshman. I cannot tell easily from the photograph if the mintmark is correct, since they were...
Aren't the square shaped ones earlier than the round ones? I thought I read before that Indian coins started by cutting strip, but after a while,...
