Thank you, your responses make me feel more confident. The VG8 grade guide says 3 letters should be visible, but the rim is very noticably worse...
In that case, where would y'all grade this coin? It's a better date, so even a difference of 1 grade makes a large difference in value. I would...
When attempting to grade a coin, if one side is significantly higher grade than the other, is the overall grade averaged between the two sides, or...
Very true. And for the rest of the trades that day, at least, I made good deals. This mistake was fully on me, no one took advantage of me, so I...
Ok, so I see where I made a mistake. Now I need to see what can be done about it. I got my value from this page:...
True. But if you bought something from Amazon in an envelope, and the envelope arrived full, and you emptied it and claimed it arrived empty,...
Luckily, at the very worst you would only be out $20 and a boatload of annoyance. Good luck!
Ok, so yesterday I picked this up. I'm just not sure with damaged coins if they really retain any value... opinions? What would the value of this...
One thing I really get annoyed by is people whose first statement on every single coin they see is to declare "cleaned!". However, that being...
:) Well, I am happy to share :P I like to trade things when I get the chance - bartering is always so much more satisfying than buying and selling...

Today a friend and I met with an older collector and we spent around 7 hours browsing and trading coins. It was a great day! And I am very happy...

Any ideas why it might weigh too much? Thats really weird to me.
My friend recently told me about this trade dollar he picked up years back. He said he paid about $90 for it at the time. Recently, he became...

So, I'm definitely not in the habit of looking at my paper money, checking serial numbers, or even simply looking for stars. Today, though, I made...
I just love the look of super-worn coins lol. Far more than MS stuff. I have a small collection of them - although I'd never slab them :P
Hmmm... thanks for the picture. :) Anything closer to completely worn? Practically just a disk of silver, with a hint of shapes, is what I am...
Anyone have any worn silver eagles, or other silver bullion rounds, they can show pictures of? Just interested to see how those would look. Most...
