As a young numismatist, many years ago, I was very impressed with the letters after the names on dealers business cards. Nowadays, there are even...

A 1942-P Nickel. I would say VF. Sorry - no pics.
That is often referred to as a "burn spot." I collect Frankies, and that would make the coin far less desirable to me. :( I don't know how...
Good points Cloudsweeper. Your interest in numismatics is different than mine. I just think that some people get wrapped up in values and grades,...

Look carefully at the picture of the reverse. The coin is rotated about 20 or 30 degrees clockwise, yet the "S" is perfectly vertical. It's almost...
Roll 'em up and put them on eBay.
Well for one thing, they should be handling the coins over a soft, padded surface if they are working in a TPGS because gloves or no gloves, they...
Yes... I know you are in love with TPGs but I don't want ANYONE feeling up my coins, thank you.
I've had a lot of good luck with Northeast Numismatics. On many items, they allow you to make an offer and if they don't like it, they will...
Separate names with a comma.
