Bye Felicia... You asked for our opinion and now that you have it (from people who have been collecting error coins for 20-30 years btw), we're...
Funny -- missed the separate sentence? Although the US mint has struck a couple million test pieces or ahead of authorization and had to melt them.
Nice collection. For completeness, "Spanish" is an inaccurate and confusing term. The Spanish Colonies included mints in Mexico City, Lima...
NECRO POST ALERT --8-- YEAR OLD THREAD In all the years I've been tracking these, over 8 years, I've seen ONE 1916 for sale and I missed out on...
I like the history of slabs, especially because nobody wants to talk about "the old days" even though it's within living memory. I want to catch...
Yes, Dansco, the higher end Whitman, Littleton (which are OEMed from Dansco/Whitman) should be archival. And most people don't routinely crack...
Older albums were not made of 100% archival materials. 100x the number of coins (1000x) were damaged by Whitman blue folders for each one that...

You've entered the twilight zone. It's not good enough that we have coins placed in plastic tombs. Then people put stickers on the tombs to rate...
I'm utterly astonished that people even have to ask this question. What do you think pays for the "talent", the studio, the airtime, the phone...
Dang that is cool. https://www.ngccoin.com/certlookup/4637777-028/70/ NGC database shows an edition of 200 pieces, some 69s mixed in. There are...
Knife, Drawer, Sharpener - one of these things is not in use...
@-jeffB (edit:added callout) Please check the RME for sample slabs for me. It misses the cutoff for the 3rd edition of the book, but the club has...
ANS did a preso Friday, with Eric Brothers: Long Table 141. Silver Coins and Chopmarked Coins in China, Up to 1873 https://numismatics.org/lt141/...
I can top that - I think I posted about this previously. Last October, I drove up to Oklahoma (~3 hours) for the 2nd day of a two-day show at the...
SPECIMEN are sample notes. Why not?
Separate names with a comma.
