I thought about putting together sets for my parents, but Mom was born in 1930, and US coinage was a bit sparse during the 1930's. ("How come Mom...
D'oh! I'm not in the habit of following the "similar threads" links at the bottom -- I popped this one up in another tab for later, then forgot...
"80% of all raw coins are problem coins"? I'm not sure what this statement means. Does "all raw coins" include all current circulating coins? :)...
If you like the results from the halogen light, you could try a lower wattage or positioning it further away, then lengthening your exposure to...
I've posted this before, but it seems appropriate: [ATTACH] Somebody needed practice with the drill...?
My favorite way, of course, is to get it at face value. :) Since that's pretty chancy, though, I tend to look for overlooked/undervalued lots on eBay.

I was thinking about this some time ago. It should be possible to laser-etch a dot pattern onto one of the facets of a reeded edge, too small to...
"This listing was ended by the seller because the item was sold." Heh. Or perhaps a few too many people asked him pointed questions...
Zero. If they were legit (but they aren't), the first two would be five-figure coins.
So, if you submit a 1928-S Peace dollar with the reverse rim worn down enough to obscure the mint mark, it'll get slabbed as a 1928? If it's...
Well said. Thanks!
Alas, no such luck. All I saw was the old phone books at $30 each (!), and these three-DVD sets at $15 each. If it turns out the sets have the...
Hah! I just found this review. It looks like the electronic versions are simple, single PDF files. That means I don't have to keep the physical...
I'm old enough to have a stubborn preference for hardcopy, but I've also accumulated enough printed material that managing it is a big problem....
Separate names with a comma.
