I'm trying to get my inventory in order. For many of my large cents, if the Newcomb Number wasn't on the slab, I just socked the coins away to ID...
Yep. Early nickel coins were famous for their die cracks. Nickel is a harder metal and the Mint had trouble getting used to it.
Thanks for the reference.
Hmmmm, I would have expected a significantly greater Blakesley Effect with a clip that large. But that's not my bailiwick.
Heck, I think a 64 would be a reasonable possibility.
It would help if you could be more specific about the particular paper money items you're interested in. Country? Issue? Face value?
Yeh, getting a $500 and a $1000 bill are in the back of my mind. But they are low priority items.
I know Rick Snow puts "Eagle Eye" stickers on IHCs. I don't know how respected they are.
That's my understanding. My guess is that there are a larger number of beginning collectors these days. I don't know about others in here, but I...
I'm after half cents and large cents by variety. And I stick to VF or XF (AU?) for low rarity coins (R-1 to R-3). I've been using Greysheet + 20%...
Looks to be slightly rotated (maybe 10°). For a 20th century coin that's not a lot.
Who's doing the grading?
I looked around to find one for my chair but didn't find anything. So I've been going "shockless" for a number of years (5?). The current chair is...
1. I use the Greysheet to put values on my coins in my half cent and large cent collection. That helps me put values on my coins by Variety Number...
THAT'S a good one.
#1 - Continue living so that I can continue collecting (as of Christmas I am now 81). #2 - Get my inventory updated and (as much as possible)...
I've got a large portion of a Large Cent Type Set. I even included a 1787 Fugio when PCGS sort of "declared" it as a US coin. And (I think) the...
I am an EAC member and I went to this year's St Louis EAC convention. I got two coins from their auction. I also got to meet Ed Fuhrman. I...
Items that are coming "in the mail" for me aren't coins. They are US $1 bills. One of my collections is US Small-Sized $1 bills from Series 1928...
My intent is to go ONLY after slabbed coins. I'm finding that 10-20% over Greysheet is NOT sufficient to win most bids. So I'll have to rethink...
