I couldn't agree more Jeff. Everyone should collect what really interests them. The fact that Dave Bowers, Anthony Terranova and other prominent...
If someone wants to pay the cost of submitting a low value coin to a TPG, it's a bonus for me when I buy it for less than the cost of the...
I've been collecting and researching counterstamps for quite a few years GeorgeM. I'm hoping also that some of the "gun guys" on the forum might...
[ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH] Here's two more counterstamps I just bought with the Demuth stamp posted above. "S. Prat" - Unlisted and...
You have to be careful for sure, but if you make it clear that's it's just your opinion, then I would think you're o.k. Hopefully Doug will weigh...
Yeah, I might pay a buck for it, but only because of the counterstamp. Having said that, I wouldn't go out of my way to buy it. I collect...
I've had the same results green. I never get good scans no matter what I do. I have little luck when I photograph them either, but probably need...
Thanks for posting the beautiful coin Inquisitive. It's such high relief (or at least looks so from the pic) it almost looks like a medal. Very...

[ATTACH][ATTACH] I just bought this counterstamp a week or two ago and thought maybe some of the gun enthusiasts on the forum might...

Thanks for the info Clinker, very interesting. Bruce
If you can post pics Benjy that would be great. I like half dimes, and would like to see what you have. Bruce
As always, an interesting post from you Siberian Man. I've always been a history buff, but you're teaching me a lot of things about other nations...
I also enjoy your history lessons as well Siberian Man. The pics you supply are always first rate and show the coins in great detail. Thanks for...
That's just good honest wear Calum. I like the coin very much. I think the picture is great, especially for a camera phone. Sorry I can't help you...
I really think you should try to get a copy of the Maier / Stahl book first allout. I got one through the innerlibrary loan program at my local...
Thanks for posting that article. I always knew that the cost of minting the cent was above face, but I didn't realize the nickel was too. Bruce
It's a Civil War Identification disc for sure (we coin and token collectors call them dog tags). I've researched these tags thoroughly while...
