I’ll be the monkey in the woodpile. My coin collecting is driven by my love of history. I own several cleaned or otherwise damaged coins that I...
Well let me pose this from the perspective of a fellow that regrettably dropped out of school due to his youthful scorn of books..... I collected...
These two brutalized Mercs were in the last batch of junk silver I purchased. Since I purchased that last batch of silver, I cashed out a bunch to...
You can ask the dealers here on CT. I ALWAYS have my purchases sent to the office so I can sneak them into the house avoiding the wife’s scorn....
Todd... I want to throw another thought at you that makes me respect and admire your grandad even more. I want to preface this saying that I am...
I believe in twenty years you will be very glad that you came to this conclusion and I applaud you for it.
I have carried up to $600.00 of rolled changes to my bank. Their only prerequisite is that I keep an account with them. They don’t re-count the...

Wow. Yes that is.
I know a little something about coins. But I don’t know a ding-dang thing about technology. I am trying to enlarge some of those photos on my...
I am driving and had to pull over to offer this. What you have here is not the average grandad coin collection that we see here on CT. Your...
One more bit of info. Try not to handle that coin. What appears to be nothing to you may be a huge value killer to an educated numismatist.
I just did a quick scan of your photo's because I am at work. It appears your grandad had a sharp eye for fine coins. Yes please do yourself the...
The photo isn't close enough to evaluate the authenticity. If in fact that is a genuine 09-S, VDB you would do yourself a favor to have that coin...
I have a dealer buddy that receives incomplete Lincoln books all the time. He says he has yet to receive one that included an 09-S, VDB. Just...
What leads you to AU @Mountain Man? This is the sort of coin that I get so lost in the beauty of the piece I can miss a whole world of other...
