That's actually kinda neat. So where do you come across these? Are they literally in a bucket or do you have a whitman folder full of fake...
I'm amused that he says, "It's genuine. Look at the pictures." The mintmark looks like location #4. Looks like it's in the right spot, but...
I have an altered mintmark 1916-d and an altered mintmark 1909-s vdb. I took them both to the dealer at the same time, and he said he didn't like...
I'm tempted to put up a "guess the grade" thread, but I'll avoid the suspense... There aren't many slabs in this condition... instead of a Top-Pop...
The clear ones do crack... which I have seen lead to toning... sometimes good looking, sometimes not so much.
For appraisal purposes, the price at time of death is what's probably required, so I wouldn't worry about greysheet changing weekly.
Missed your question. Look here" http://www.vernoncoincenter.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=3283&idcategory=371 to see all the slots in the...
While I like supporting the local coin shop, they probably won't be the cheapest (though they might have used ones that will be cheap). Save some...
I mentioned this album when some of us were talking about "subsets." This custom set is all the Copper LMCs in a blank Dansco. I'm using the...
Congrats on completing the set! You might try the search feature on this site and see other people's opinions. Some people are neutral between...

If you enlarge the photo, those letters on the reverse are actually LMC. They were engraved by the Coin Collector Show on HSN to label this coin...
But... don't you remember the episode of Silver Spoons? Ricky Schroeder had to sell the 3-legger to repair a coffee table and he just filed...
On the third-part sets, they are labeled on the envelope as being something else (can't remember the names, but they're generic "American Coin"...
Fascinating. makes me want to make dateless buffaloes with "CC" mint marks.
Wow, so I wanna know who slabbed this. Or someone taking a leg off of a 37-D buffalo [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
My wife has gotten Hot Springs in circulation, that's all we've seen in central Texas so far.
Those bubble-like sealed cellophane sets are pretty tamper-proof (someone won't swap a coin without you noticing), but you do need to take a look...
Lehigh that's awesome. One of the major drawbacks of the album is what to do about REAL key dates. If I get a $250 coin (like a 1885 or 1886 V...
Hmmm... plantguy & evorlor those are both good suggestions. Especially knowing I can search junk silver for the quarters... and that's a set...
