First let me say that my set isn't a full typeset (I call it a sub-typeset.) The early items are out of my $ range, particularly in the grades I...
Or the Indian Head nickel if you prefer. I've been imaging my collection and I've run into an apparent discrepancy between what the grading guides...
I’m old enough to remember when auction house fees were paid by the seller only. And this was really only at live auctions. But the percentage...
I just bought a IHC graded MS-65RB by PCGS. My assumption is that slabs are not perfect storage devices, but probably the best. Let's assume also...
Saw a raw 1854 half cent this weekend with some "contamination" on it that I'm not familiar with. The coin was well struck and from what I could...
Trying to decide whether or not to submit my two body bagged coins to ANACS for "Details" grading. The 1834 half dime came back from NGC...
Looking through my collection I came across one that I'd forgotten about. Can anyone see ANY justification for this coin being graded as it is?...
I'm on a roll. Here's my second post asking about non-US error(?) coins that I have. These two have the last digit in the date repunched(?) Since...
I've had this coin kicking around for over 5 years. It's from an Austrian Euro pre-release packet. It's a double planchet clip (Blakesley Effect...
Just got around to reading the latest Coin World. They printed my letter! I'm now a published author! Okay, maybe that's pushing it a bit. :)
Looks like a VERY real looking PCGS slab turned up on eBay, but the cert number is invalid. The lot number can be found in the Coin and Currency...
I need someone with a copy of "Early United States Dimes 1796-1837" by David J. Davis et al. My 1834 has possibilities of being a rarer variety...
I'm trying to put together a typeset and the large cents from the 1816-1857 time period (Coronet) have me confused. The basic question is, "What...
I'm after comments/opinions about Digital Stereo Microscopes as used in numismatics. I'm toying with the idea of getting one. Here's my thinking...
I want to put something in the Advertising>Open section. I see that I must have made 10 posts before I can do that. No problem. I'll get there....
I've never before decided to try my hand (and eye) at collecting coins at the die type level. But I got a copy of Logan and McCloskey, Federal...
I’m putting together a typeset of US coins. Well actually it’s a subset of a typeset since the early issues are too pricy for me. When it came to...
I seem to have made a serious error. I listed the following proof sets as silver: 1976 1978 1979 1980 1981 1983 1985 I've been advised that in...
It is my impression that non-US error coins are not touted much, particularly by collectors not in the US. Is this statement true enough to pass...
Separate names with a comma.
