Big Ed, I think price guides are useful for pricing yoru collection, as long as you recognize these are retail prices. Even then, prices guides...
I completely hear what you are saying Doug, yet it needs to be clarified/modified. What you say is completely true for coins that are made in the...
Very true. Luckily I grew up halfway close to a rail stop point, so I could put it on tracks where the train moved about one half a mile per hour....
Ah, you have to keep bidding Randy. Hope springs anew. While I may be whining here about losing last night, I have also been known to score on 80%...
I would highly encourage you to just jump in. If you read something, and do not understand it, we would be glad to clarify what we are talking...
I agree, post mint damage. Remember all of the crazy stuff you would do to coins as a kid, hitting them with hammers, putting them on tracks,...
Martin, very nice coin. Since every ancient is unique, there is no such thing as having duplicates! (Well, try it on the wife :)). One issue...

My wife is from SE Asia, and I have travelled there. For all of these countries, their wealth is going up. They have a history of getting burned...
I think I have one slab left, (wrong emperor, wrong year, wrong mint, and incorrect grade). I don't bandsaw that one since it amuses me. Other...
I do not ever recall silver dollars being melted. Maybe in 1980, but they always sell for a premium to other junk silver, so why would you destroy...
I find for common coins like IHC and the like, book value and Ebay prices for an individual date are always too much. If I wanted to buy IHC I...
Well we know you are busy looking at coins all day sir, and you are an invaluable resource for us here. I almost said 5, but you hadn't posted...
Its because the plastic and the little paper insert is what we collect, right? The little bit of metal inside is just an afterthought. I am...
Well, we got that going for us then. :) Thanks for the happy thoughts. Chris
I was actually composing a response when I saw this post. Honestly, I was going to comment I like the first reverse better because of the Victory....
