Well, you came to the wrong place! lol (Seriously though, I wonder the same thing...same situation for right now.) I like ziggys perspective.
Edit: I just went to talk to rbm86 about the Morgan in his avatar and saw his last post was in 2010. So I came back here and see this thread is...
You might have to google him (if you weren't around in the 80s) but Andre Dawson has a nice collection. I was shocked. Read an article about it....
I admit I just kind of winged it on the time period. I figured there were probably some earlier examples but I think the 1850s would have been...
The circles you made at the back corner of the neck on both coins is most likely shadow lines from the collar and not distracting marks. You...
They didn't. They didn't start selling their annual proof sets until 1936. But they've been making proofs since the 1850s. That doesn't mean...
Wow!! Beautiful! Thanks for posting that.
Awesome pickups Merc!!
Luster plays a major roll in grades too. When considering blast white coins typically the luster is far superior on a 65 compared to a 63. Most...
My best ebay bucks period was last year. I have no idea what I bought but I racked up $58. I put it towards a red 1909 IHC for the US type set....
Yeah, that and general inflation. I don't think anybody's getting rich off of selling 2x2s because they went up a penny and a half. I...
I personally don't care for them. It's a hassle if you ever need to get the coin out. When you're using a tool to slide under the staples, it...
Whos buying 2x2s anyway? Cardboard and staples arent good for coins. Anything youd put in a 2x2 may as well go in a roll.
My Kennedys are in them too. Mainly because I dont want to have to store 3 large albums for a relatively low value set. Ive thought about taking...
Wizard is good with the ANA discount. Valley seems to be the only place with Intercept stuff right now. I just ordered some IS mint set boxes...
I have a set of P's and D's to present because I'm a collector. I have quite a few 64s put away to buy bread with if/when our currency collapses....
This topic comes up about once a week around here. I've seen it too. Auctions attract everybody including the uninformed. It seems the...
Yes, I would say the dealer can't even buy lunch with the profit he made on those. Unless he bought them a few years ago. I wouldn't expect to...
I bought a new one from the mint a while back for hauling years worth of change to the bank. They don't promise you which one you'll get. I got...
The intercept albums and holders are made of materials that are supposed to clean the air around the coin and neutralize any harmful contaminants...
