@Revello, I appreciate the vote of confidence but if I had the ability to predict auction sales prices, I'd be a much richer man today! heheheh I...
@Publius2, every day when I put on my glasses I wonder why I can't see as well - and then I realize, same glasses, but the eyes are another day...
@Publius2, we've all had that rush of excitement when we think we have a rare one! With worn coins, I have a trick... using Gimp (free image...
@Publius2, thanks for the kind words! I'm sure our paths will cross, and I look forward to it. Your own set is absolutely enviable as well - the...
@Publius2 The NGC coin was offered in Dave Perkins' 2019 Crain sale, but didn't meet reserve at that sale. I didn't start my set until April 2020...
@Publius2 if you ever get to KC again let me know! Regarding the rev G reclassification, the jury's still out for me too. I even have the...
Happy holidays all! @Publius2 , I enjoy your posts and really like the details on Reverse G in the images here. I'm wondering if you have an...
This was a fantastic read on a great story. I'm not quite as bullish as some; I'm going to say it will go for $2.6M (all in). I'm now tracking it...
@Mainebill that 1877-CC quarter is WOWZERS! Really nice coins, all of them, but that one is an eye-grabber. Although I was at first wondering...
If I got mad at PCGS every time they did something I didn't like, I'd have even less hair than I do right now! A couple of things ease the sting a...
@BlackberryPie here are three AU58+ half dimes. Two of them were in NGC slabs before I crossed them to PCGS for my registry set. The 1831 was NGC...
Hi friends. I think Wes has got that up and running again (using a hosting site called "Weebly" which is not a name he chose for his site!) I find...
Oops, I just reread that more closely! Not at all good with half cents; I thought we were still on half dimes. Teach me to multitask. Sorry...
I have the excellent Logan-McCloskey book handy and I'll give it a shot! Please post images (and if you decide to start a new thread, please tag...
I make that to be LM-7, Rarity 2. Obverse 4 has stars 6 and 7 distant, with the 830 of the date successively higher. Reverse K has the ICA of...
Just wanted to amplify what @Publius2 mentions: the John Reich Journal is a great resource. I'm a member of the John Reich Collectors Society and...
@AirborneReams, I saw your post when it was new but I wanted to wait until the final chapter was written on this 1833 half dime's story before I...
Thanks, @Dynoking ! The thing that I would say is least endearing about this coin is the small double-scratch to the right of the date on the...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Here's my 1830 LM-2 in PCGS AU-53. I think I like'em a bit more funky than some. Not a perfect coin, clearly, but it's got...
@Publius2, I owned that LM-12 for a bit over a year. My photos are a little kinder to it than yours (read: softer focus perhaps?) and bring out...
