I know I've got a lot to learn about grading . . . (and it's a tangent from the real story that someone actually found that!! what a story!) . . ....
You know, part of the problem could be simply a matter of numbers. I noticed last night that there were over 130,000 auctions just in the US...
But do let us know what you find! FWIW, I still have a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that: (a) wheaties are so darn rare in...
From coins.about.com on cleaning I know next to nothing about cleaning, but just read an interesting article here. What struck me was something...
OK, we'll let you ;) But you have to promise to come back here and tell us what you found!
So, nu?, going to post some pictures? I have no experience at all with cleaning, and I'm dying to see them!
Then it would seem that you expect #2000 after that time? (Otherwise, we'll just watch until you post #1999 or so!) I'll guess April 2, 4pm ET...
Wait . . . you come here touting lighter fluid as a cleaner, asserting it's fine, and then you want someone here to try it and tell you the...
Gosh, for a semi-newbie, it's hard to know! But one thing that seems convincing to me (or am I too naive) is that the "2009 Circulating Coin...
Right. Except, as you wrote: FWIW, I did find all of the first 8 Presidents in that first roll of 25 -- but, as I mentioned, 13 were Wash...
That's interesting! One of the two I went to was Wachovia near Union Station. Thanks. I didn't realize Metro accepts them. If they do, then,...
I went to two banks near my work today (downtown DC) -- and between the two of them, only one had $1 rolls, and the guy in front of me got the...
It would cut out all the beginners that want to start their collection slowly and/or who don't have a whole lot of disposable income. E.g., I...
So, what's wrong with the idea of sending a letter to eBay and also cc'ing your local federal prosecutor and/or BBB or state commissioner or...
another possibility It seems to me, Tom, that one possibility that you've left out -- and it might be the simplest explanation -- is that some...
Maybe it's the eyesight ;-) . . . I find reading mintmarks completely impossible without a decent magnifier . . . much easier to show the coin to...
Well, I certainly understand that CoinTalk might not be the place for a eBay tutorial, but is the following analysis OK -- suppose I have some...
Thanks for the input. I think I might try it. I'm having a hard time figuring out conceptually how it interfaces with eBay, but I suppose if I...
Well . . . I know almost nothing about photography, but I have opinions about what's pleasing to the eye (or, at least my eye) . . . and my first...
Me, too, actually (as a buyer -- I haven't tied selling yet). If you look, you can find some bargains, and (so far) I haven't had any problems if...
