This has been a really informative thread by-golly... I can't believe I didn't see it sooner, but congrats on the flips @C-B-D ! I'd say you did...
It's a secret.....you have to know somebody that knows somebody. But fortunately, you are on the right site for that :-P http://www.dc-coin.com/
I'm in for a couple :) It's true, this same conversation seems to come up everytime Carr issues something new. He does a great job on these pieces...
I think these are fun too! Plus they have an interesting history that is fun to tell non-collectors. Had no idea there were so many varieties...
That show was a blast! I'm more than happy to perpetuate the image of gangs of marauding hobos and ex-cons running around the bourse floor, but...
Nothing flashy, just a modest upgrade here. My old large cent type coin was an 1854 with a big gash in the rim :-O [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Here's a style that hasn't been posted yet. I bought it a few years back because it actually looks to be an accurate grade! Big holder though, and...
All kidding and random bits of disappointment aside...None of y'all have EVER thought of storing your coins for safe keeping in a shark infested...

VERY NICE EXAMPLE!!! Toned gold is unusual and always fun to own. I know you deal with these a lot more than I, but I've only had 1 (very lightly...
What happened to modern coins is "Cad Cam"...... It makes things a lot easier to design/replicate/produce on a large scale and also ruins the art....
We'll find something to gripe about, we always do.....that's one of the privileges that comes with being a numismatist. Bob: "I can't stand all...
Waste I'd say. That's one of the things the CAC is for, isn't it? If the coin was superior to the grade assigned they'd give a gold bean. And like...
My order placed at 12:10 EST was also shipped! Wow, nice going US Mint!
You'll get them....just when I don't know! The Mint never really said how many they had available for the first day. My CC has already been hit!...
