Went to a local show to pick up an IHC that was waiting for me. And of course I strolled around seeing if I could some find wantlist items. I...
This just happened to me Saturday at a show. I was looking for mid-grade MS Braided Hair large cent. There were two of interest. All other things...
I need suggestions about what to do with nice but low catalog value coins. For instance I've got a nice 1943 Lincoln, probably UNC but certainly...
Nothing spectacular, but they fill holes in two of my collections. This quarter is for my Birthyear set. [IMG] I'm VERY slowly putting...
As I mentioned in another post, I am now considering doing an in-depth analysis of the coins from my birthyear (1941). I know enough to start by...
Been waiting for this coin for about 2 months. Worth the wait. [IMG]
Is there a book which is a study of Walking Liberty halves? I've encountered a situation which I've see alluded to but no definitive statement....
Someone has used the technique of overlaying one side of a coin on the other to show the device match-ups resulting from die clashes. The more I...
I attended during the Friday public session which started 10AM. My style is to locate what I'd like, buy, then scoot. Total time: 3 hours....
Because I do Registry Sets on NGC I've been doing some crossovers to NGC. I sent a coin to them in an ANACS holder. No problems noted on the...
My latest interest is a short set (1885-1909) of Indian Head Cents. I decided I'd like to have a matched set so you'll see that all the IHCs are...
I'm getting my ducks in order for the Baltimore Whitman show. Less than 2 weeks to go. Besides my wantlist I'm also putting together a "visit"...
I did a test to see if I could post a link to a NGC Registry Set. The short answer is, "Nope". It makes sense in that a password is required to...
A raw coin from my collection. It's a 1937-D. I am 90% confident that it's my fingerprint. From the days before I knew better. Fortunately it's...
This is one of the BIG holes in my knowledge. I can't reliably tell the difference between a weak strike and wear. This example concerns a 1954-S...
First let me say that I now officially REALLY dislike the new NGC holders. After doing a circular crop on a coin in one of the new NGC slabs you...
A nice 1836 Half Dime, Small 5c, NGC MS-62. Better than I usually buy, but I got it for a good price; close to greysheet. I'm having so much...
The NGC Registry Gold Type Set (1834-1933) contains six double eagles ($20). This is the short type set, not the full set starting from 1795. I...
The NGC Registry Gold Type Set (1834-1933) contains four eagles ($10). This is the short type set, not the full set starting from 1795. I have an...
Here's the two coins I brought home with me from the Philly Show. The 1795 half cent is out for grading so no pics yet. And I bought Lange's book...
