I make my own bullets by smelting, cleaning, and casting lead wheel weights. Then I load the bullets and shoot them. Exact alloy is a never...
I'd crack that Ike and put it in a Dansco album. I managed to collect a complete date and mint mark set of these when I was younger, but I...
I have a '60-P small date that is raw, but I'm confident it would grade at MS-65 RD or better. Perhaps a trip to NGC is in order!
I remember as a young collector going to banks and buying old coins at face value. I got a lot of silver dollars, buffalo nickels, and Kennedy...
When you find out she didn't sell them for $15 per coin, offer her $3 per coin, half of your original offer.

I've said this before and I'll say it again (in fact, I should just program it as a macro): The VAST majority of collectors should NOT clean...
*day, not dad.
Bargain basement slabber. Remember to buy the coin, not the slab. Secondly, I'm admittedly not very good at spotting the difference between NT...
MS 66 BN? Either way, I think my dad got better just by seeing it!
Dude, PLEASE learn to punctuate. It's like you're typing while high on meth.
To be frank, there aren't many Susan B. Anthony dollars worth sending in, this one included. They're just not a highly sought after coin. I'll...
Yep, former Scout, and present Scouter!
Thanks Copper!
