I am with you, I don't like the blotchiness of the obverse toning, nor the darkness of the reverse. Think about it, if the dealer really...
Interesting post. I actually have two copies of the Wiley Bugert SL half book he is listing for so high a price. Maybe I should sell one.
You may be right, but with unique finishes and the box I very well could see a higher price. It will be interesting to see who is closer.
A three coin set for $100, and silver at $12. I would break that down to be $36 for silver, and $50 for all of the processing. That would roughly...
Good auction firm. They also have large ancient and world coin auctions twice a year. Their website can be pretty wonky at times though. Chris
Fair enough point. I guess being in ancients I do nto much care for particulars modern collectors worry about.
Ok, I thought you were concerned about the green upper right obverse or red lower left reverse. I like the coin, especially if you found it in...
Paul Withers, one of the authors you mentioned, runs Galata.co.uk, a good dealer in books and coins in England.

Understood, but I bet you half of all dealers are only dealers on a part time basis. :) Either way, point taken.
Whats wrong with it? The bronze disease?
Its Hobo! Welcome back buddy!
IDK, $50k is not that much in coins nowadays. I could see how he easily had that much in a car. Coins are pretty small, it gets kinda scary...
Sorry but all I see is an AG lincoln cent. I own a barber quarter with no legends whatsoever, they have been worn off. Wear is not a mint error....
Like others here, to me it appears that someone shaved the date off years ago, and it has retoned over the area. If it were a grease filled die,...
Fair enough sir, but I would categorize you as making money dealing in coins, not collecting coins. Anyone actively running auctions to sell, and...
