It's true, Ebay is endlessly fascinating. I'm a buyer and seller there. I have my dates I look for and I look every single day. I have a hard time...
Someone's sarcasmatron is turned off
I've read that they censor anything even mildly critical of PCGS. You gotta respect that.
I think the lesson here is, don't go to Britain.
I don't think there's any doubt. Hall even sorta admits it in his brochure! "We recently were able to purchase a fantastic mini-hoard of 1934 to...
I stumbled across this the other day. http://www.davidhall.com/user/pdf/silvereaglebrochure.pdf A coin hawking brochure from David Hall from...
Now now, let's not turn this around. The negativity came from the patronizing "etiquette" list itself, not from me. Seems to me that in this...
Interesting. I thought the suggestion "don't criticize the dealer's coins" was simply peevish, hypersensitive and obnoxious. But now I know...
The coin was an overdate and the dealer didn't see it? Wow, this story just keeps getting better. And why does the dealer now get to make a HUGE...
Sounds like an all around festival of stupid. Dealer doesn't realize what he has, buyer is a greedhead. They deserve each other.
I'm actually kinda surprised this rubbish got printed, except for unintentional laughs. Don't haggle on cherry picks? What are you, kidding? Maybe...
Thanks for posting all of these fascinating don'ts. Now I'm more certain than ever that coin shows are not for me.
Wait a second. Aren't you the guy who posted that you "do not want to approach collecting from an investment perspective?" And now you're...
Tell ya what. Let's all gather here in 20 years. If the 1877 IHC is still worth $670 or less in G-4, I'll eat my hat.
I don't know, some keys have done very well in the last 30 years. I think PCGS has a chart on this and it's been posted here before. I agree with...
I would imagine one could do worse than just snapping up as many 1877 IHC as they could. It's rare and part of a must-have series for collectors....
I got my avatar from one such advertisement plucked from an issue of the Numismatist from around 1920. That coin is legendary.
For every example there's a counter-example. Consider this guy. He bought a $20 St. Gaudens for $500,000 in 1979, held it for a short time and...
Pictures of coins that are taken at a 45 degree angle to hide hairlines.
Is this the seller? [ATTACH]
