I guess I have to be the first to say it: dump it all in a nice index fund.
I think if you got 30 that look good under 10x, you did well. Roll coins might (emphasise "might") be better, provided they're rolled at or very...
I'm rightly impressed. How did you even take this picture? I know this is a tiny coin!
"Volatile" takes on an entirely new meaning in a hard vacuum environment.
I know the binding has issues. That's the only reason I considered a $100 copy with a failing binding. :-) I'm really more concerned with what's...
Very nice 1859-O mini-collection. :)
Exactly why I said 45. Look at the fields!
I used to own this book years ago and am considering purchasing another copy. What do people think of this book these days? I saw a copy at a...

It probably got slabbed a long time ago, before they did that.
Ultimately, you either pay something close to what the dealer/seller has them priced at, or you don't buy coins at all. I don't think the Redbook...
Nice coin. Well-struck (no surprise for an early S mint), and definitely AU/MS. Can't tell any more without better pics.
Any guesses what the odds are that if I'm online right at release day, I can nab 5 of these at issue price without the Mint's web site crumbling...
Love the seated halves (especially the 1877), and the gnarly clash marks on the trime!
Here are my thoughts: Your pics make the rim dings look minor enough that the coin might holder problem-free. If you can get it in TPG plastic...
I hope these are lacquered to maintain the color of the cents. It'd be sad if in 20 years the image were gone.
