Todd, I agree 100%!
I'm trying to figure out what's "special" about this Columbian Half. Looks like a $50 coin to me.......
In my experience, light boxes create very flat "dead" images of coins. The light is simply diffused too much. I tried everything imaginable with...
I actually have to disagree. I know, big surprise right Doug? ;) You don't need a $2000 camera, that is true. But there is a lower limit that...
Charmy, that is a fantastic coin! Does that mean your signature-line old 1955 DDO will be going up on your inventory for sale? ;) Love it!...
I think it's a wig, but what the hay... [IMG]
Wonderfully explained! I will just say, +1 to what Mike said. There is an occasional "gem in the rough", but for the most part, I think the...
Oh, I guess I forgot how you (with all of your years of wisdom) can predict the future. ;) The way I read that chart is that things have been...
Yes, Doug, I actually do disagree with that one point. Based on the 10-yr graph of the PCGS3000, it supports that the market saw a drop in 2008,...
I think the only people who believe the USA has the most beautiful silver coins are those who have never collected world silver coins. There are...

Even more reason to not buy into the hype!
Firstly, how can a coin make the list that doesn't exist? Stupid. Secondly, a huge proportion of the "coins" are bullion dreck. Boring....
Yes, Paul...I was asking what it looked liked in hand though... I have a couple toned Proof Frankies and when they are shot head on, the colors...
All I will say on this one is, I wonder what it really looks like without the hilariously over-saturated "magical" PCGS photos. That's a pretty...
The way they "tell" when they are graded is by someone's opinion. I know at one point Fred Weinberg was involved in "attributing" these "errors"....
This is just a normal Sacagawea dollar. The experimental rinse is very obvious when it is there. The surfaces are somewhat "dull" and are more...
My most recent type coin. This one finishes up the three SLQ slots in my type set. :) [IMG] [IMG]
Cheetah, are you sure the obverse is 11? It looks like 10 to me. The 12th star has a "repunch" and the "1" in "1863" doesn't match the "1" in...
