Cool. How far back are you going?
I love these halfpennies! :) Are the $ values next to them from the PCGS price guide or what you paid?
I've got a couple shows I'm going to this weekend, so we'll see how my coin budget holds out. :P I still haven't decided if I'm in or not.
I've considered coins with what looked like light, partial fingerprints near the edges, but I've never bought one. I'm also very careful to only...
How does a bank box create a paper trail? Despite what you might see in their terms and conditions, banks make it their business not to know...
Wow. As fakes go, that's pretty good. They butchered the portrait though, as usual. That would be really deceptive worn down to F15 or so.
Just out of curiosity, does anybody know what it would cost someone in their 30's or 40's to become a life member?
AFAIK there's nothing special about 1951 D. In UNC, it can range from $0.25-$0.50 for a low grade, brown cent up to $250+ like the one above in...
I can see the doubling, but it looks shelf-like to me, indicating MD. Also, no DDRs for business strike coins are currently known for 1955....
I like both: wild rainbow stunners and pieces with light to medium, even toning indicating they've never seen an acid dip.
Wow. Exactly how far do GSA sales extend?
Except that there's no A on the obverse for it to clash with. It could be a distorted O, maybe?
The coin clearly displays clash marks, so, to those who say the original artifact is not an "O", I ask: what is it? it's in the exact right spot,...
Really? Other than the $3 gold, most of those don't carry a large numismatic premium in absolute terms. Are you considering this a bullion...
I'm also wondering if the soft pack plastic (I assume it's cellophane?) these things are in is stable, or if that even matters much once they're...
Heh... ok, when you said "cherry pick," I assumed there was a variety unattributed on the slab or that you bought them raw. But, if you bought...
Re: Loupes. I'm not that interested in RPMs or errors, so I only take a 4x loupe with me to shows. And, really, it's not all that useful for...
So, you're saying it wouldn't be a crack-out candidate? ;)
Their T&C are confusing, but here's a link. 15% appears in there in several contexts, but I'm still not completely sure that's the right number....
Not sure.
Separate names with a comma.
