I believe it. I love collecting CBH, but I'll never understand how this country went from the Flowing Hair model--svelte, feminine, sexy--to an...
I don't know if women collect coins but their organization has a pretty sweet logo.[ATTACH]
I agree that it's been cleaned but I see it as MS details. Probably not worth getting slabbed though.
I'm thinking XF-40 or 45. Send it in to a TPG, if you don't want to pay PCGS/NGC fees wait for an ANACS special (they run a few times a year).
So the run-up in gold happened right after the stock market crash of Oct. '87. I guess that makes sense. People were talking about a new...
Good point, and I've done that (this was a 1941 BTW). Seems the mintmarks on a lot of the 41s do point downward slightly and are a bit smaller. So...
I just bought this Walker raw. [ATTACH] I looked closely at the 'S' and it seems slightly tilted downwards. Then I looked at other 'S' Walkers...
Just for fun, I recently looked at some old Stack's auction books from '88 and '89. The sales results (at least based on what I saw) indicated...
I just bought a bunch of coins from an old collector who kept his coins in old paper envelopes and didn't have any of them certified. This...
Referring to me? If so, you should know I bought the nickel as part of a batch of type coins that I actually underpaid for and have already made a...
I bought this Buff Nickel and it was described as a proof 60. However I sent it in to PCGS and they slabbed it as an MS (AU/cleaned). I'm looking...
I've often been tempted to use heavily worn Liberty Seated or Barber coins to pay for stuff. Let's face it, we all have these coins kicking around...
Thanks for the answers, all! Very interesting.
If I bring a TPG slabbed coin into your shop, are you obligated to give me the greysheet bid price on it? Or do you offer whatever you think it's...
Thanks for that response. It's good to know some of my paranoia is justified. Just curious, you said that PCGS admitted they changed their...
I agree that I learned a lesson, but going in it didn't occur to me that two very nice problem-free coins were going to come back body bagged. I...
I recently cracked two problem-free raw Indian Head cents out of NGC holders and submitted them to PCGS. One came back AT, the other problem-free...
Thanks for all the replies. I'm going to send the coin back. I'd rather not post photos because it would compromise the identities of the parties...
I just bought an unslabbed Peace $ on Ebay. The surfaces look a bit pebbly to me which raised some suspicions. I weighed it and it came in at...
Does anyone see anything strange with Liberty's eyeball? I mean it''s black. I don't recall seeing many CBH with that sort of eye, and I've owned...
Separate names with a comma.
