Interesting point about the coinstar. At least then you would cut out any coin-collecting tellers or other handlers who might get the bounty...
My Jefferson collection is my favorite. What I'm trying to do is just get anything that is unusual for each date. Could be a clip, off-center,...
I agree. My preferred coin dealer is a great guy. But according to him, you can't be on both sides of the aisle. You have to choose. And if...
I think the photos are ok. I looked at some of his other auctions and that's just the way he does them. He has a holed coin for sale and it...
It's unfortunate, but for some, you have to be "buying" to be a collector - yes, even those we would call real collectors. I consider myself a...
I've never ordered something like this from the mint. Is this going to be another gold rush mentality thing on the first day? Or can I wait a...
Yeah, but I bet they're so cheap because they've all been cleaned - no original surfaces!!! :) Most interesting for me was the price of...

Perhaps my intended point was not presented very well. Basically, what you have just said does not hold an ounce of water if coin dealers at...
Thanks for passing this on. Great information! We keep hearing the "education" bit. But really, how many of us can do that. It takes a lot...
I've looked a few times. But sadly, this site has the problem of all the other "no fee" sites. They aren't auctions - whatever is listed as...
I was just on Teletrade. I ran a search and there nine MS-62+ Barber Halves up for auction in the next week. Or are you talking about raw...
I don't believe they can be ordered by a bank because they're not available. Brinks and the other repositories would only have whatever comes in...
Well, support in the form of books, online help, googling, etc. has got to favor Photoshop. It's like the old Excel versus commercial coin...
Oh boy! For Cointalk members that have been around for awhile, you have just scratched your fingernails across the virtual blackboard!!!!!!...
Hmmm. A lot of coin bashing going on here! familyof6, you probably overpaid a bit, but not as much as has been implied here. The comments about...
