Sure is eye catching. But not something I'd want.
In the latest The Numismatist there is a short article about coin slab types. I've known for a while that there are people who collect them by...
There was a time back in the late 1960's that you could bet anyone that given 5 nickels randomly drawn out of a cash drawer, 3 would be 1964's. I...
Since I couldn't find any images on my computer, my guess is that I never showed it. But while I was creating the images I found out that I'm...
All are graded and only in NGC or PCGS slabs. I've decided I want MS-63 to MS-65. So I'm replacing those that are in lower grades. But this...
Looks like I botched my post a bit but it also looks like you can still see large images if you click on each of the small ones.
Fortunately I have images of these coins
@Publius2, Looks like our tastes are close when it comes to a type set with you having the edge. Here are the grades on my SL Quarters: Variety 1...
I've slowly been adding to my Early Commemoratives set. "Slowly" because prices seem to be climbing. But here's a 1936 Cincinnati. [ATTACH]...
I didn't have an 1834 Large Cent so I went after this one. I ID'ed it as an N-1 variety (someone please check me on that). And I've decided that I...
Thanks for the extra info. My coin will stay in its current slab.
I have an 1856 FE graded by PCGS as MS-62. It's a Snow S-3. IF I understand correctly, PCGS no longer grades any 1856 FE's as MS. Am I correct in...
Yeh. I hadn't noticed them mostly because I was taken by the fully struck "III".
I got clearance from my wife to purchase a "better" coin. That translates to spending a bit more than I normally would. Nothing specific in mind...
Certainly a worthwhile project.
Looks like you are putting together your version of a type set. The nice thing about type sets is that you can define them any way you want.
I look forward to this show each year (COVID messed it up the last couple years). I'll be there on Friday the 28th. It's the only big show that's...
Not one of my usual items but since the "III" was fully struck, I went for it. These coins with a fully struck "III" (all the ribs complete) are...
I ditto these observations.
I always buy the spiral version. Trying to work at my computer with a hardbound version would be VERY annoying.
