I've only owned a few of these at this grade or just above. From my limited experience, I'm going to say the coin is accurately graded, and a...
That is exactly my thought. I know that there is somebody on CT that will clear it up though...unless they are staying silent so fewer people bid!
What is the purpose of this care package? Are you trying to introduce him to collecting? Or is he in the military and you just want to show...
I have often thought the same thing about NGC photos. Occasionally, if I'm interested in a coin where the seller has either posted a poor photo,...
This is a great thread, LD. Thank you for posting those piles of gold!
Great story, Caz. I have found myself in that same situation many times. I have a budget and then blow through it quickly when I find things that...
I've only seen one of their old holders (pic #1) in hand. I think they were ahead of the game with their photo-certification to address potential...

It sounds like we are in the same boat, Vic. I also lurk on ebay and other auction sites to try and score a deal that somebody else might miss or...
This is what I use. It's a good place to start when trying to figure out what to pay. http://www.pcgs.com/AuctionPrices/default.aspx
I'm thinking $12.50
For me, a simple picture from a camera or phone would work for an ID. A scanner would work too, providing it doesn't give you a picture that is...
Any pictures to share? That would make it easier to ID.
Nice 2c score! I'm like you geekpryde, I've bid on many of HA coins and have only won once. Sometimes I even pad my bid and pay a bit more than...
