Nice. :)
1. State quarters 2. And now, as of this week, morgan dollars. I haven't really sketched out what I want to focus on, but something Morgan1878...
The perspective of a fellow newbie: What interests you on a broader level? Something modern or something older? A particular period in history? A...
So when do we get the answer?
Hm, so you guys are saying that if it's really rare and really old, you have to be lax with how you apply the grading system? Cause I don't know...
Opening the box is the only logical choice. Let's say you keep it in the box with the aim of selling it later on at a premium. Now you're the...
I guess VG-8 "well worn with main features clear and bold, although rather flat"...I'm referencing the 'states' part of 'united states' in...
Thanks! Any idea how much it would cost to have it graded by submitting it to pcgs via an authorized dealer? I'm not sure I want to buy a silver...
If others are interested, I propose that anyone who wants to contribute can send me the following, and I'll start to build it: -Brief description...
Thanks. I'm not foreseeing this being a training manual that could turn you in to a professional grader, more of a tool that new folks can use to...
I'm just wondering, has anyone ever put together a little practice quiz so that newbies (like myself) can practice grading coins? I'm envisioning...
Yeah, should be interesting to see the actual condition of the coin once it arrives. I'm obviously hoping that the guy's rating was genuine and...
I had self imposed a rule that I wasn't going to buy a coin for a few more weeks, but I went ahead and bought a morgan anyway--as long as one's...
It's funny that you posted this link when you did. I've been "watching" a lot of the morgan auctions on eBay to kind of see how they progress, and...
Mine's only a 2.5x with a smaller 5x spot lens, but it's got nice built in LEDs and the best part, a handle that converts in to a stand so you can...
Did you just order them then stick them in some sort of album? If so, I would reiterate that they probably are worth $12.50. If they're graded...
Ahh, that makes sense...I hadn't paid attention to that part of the box before, seeing that the holder had the identical description printed on...
Thanks for all the advice everyone. I did go ahead and buy my first coins--a silver proof set of the 2006 state quarters. It wasn't a huge...
That's good to hear, I wanted silver coins and was worried I had bought the wrong thing. It's a confusing system though. After googling it, I...
As a follow up, just in case I'm not articulating the question well, what's the difference between the item linked above, and this one, which has...
Separate names with a comma.
