There shouldn't be so much concern as to slab authenticity for anyone halfway knowledgeable in the hobby. Regardless of whether the slab is real...
This is why I never buy coins on Ebay that doesn't have good pics of BOTH sides of the coin. Luckly you didn't pay much at all for it. If he...
My bad, but same still applies. According to Daughtrey, there are a multitude of DD's for 72, which is why I suggested they try his site for...
It doesn't look like any of the 77 DD's I could find, and machine doubling is found on over half of the 77's from Philadelphia due to a lack of...
If I had to guess, I'd say silver topping at just over $15 and gold peaking in the first few months of the year near but not in excess of $900...
I've nearly filled by IH folder by looking in swap meets and antique stores. You won't find anything rare or in superb grades, but it's fun and...
To me the relief around the nose, chin and bottom bust areas appear to be squared off, not rounded as should be the case with a piece this worn. Guy~
If you're going to collect strictly through circulating coins, I'm affraid thats a hit or miss proposition, at best. Casinos don't have rolls of...
Maybe I'm just ignorant, as I don't collect modern bullion or commems, but whats the difference between "first day" and any other day of minting,...

I'm in PA at least twice a year. Sad to say, never been coin shopping anytime I've been there. Wife is usually too bust dragging me all over...
If I were you, I'd set up a nice, easy to use website to sell your coins. Ebay has lost my interest as far as coins and honesty are concerned, and...
Or maybe they need some more loss to write-off at the end of the year.... Guy~
Well, I was in Utah last week, and did eat there, but unless you're my sister posing as an old ex coin collecting forum administrator, it wasn't...
Sweet coin!! Always wanted a St G, just never gotten around to it yet. Congrats! Guy~
Totally agree, Ben. It's rediculous to pay more than a coin is worth simply because it's encased and stamped with someone elses opinion on grade....
I hear these stories a lot, and they always baffle me as to how a person who's job it is to take money for goods, whether it be a fast food...
I refer back to the old addage....buy the coin, not the holder. That applies literally when I buy coins. Guy~
True, Cloudsweeper, but my opinion holds firm that now is the wrong time to invest. No commodity can sustain triple digit percentage gains for a...
At that price it's not like you'll lose a lot of money if things don't go good for silver. Might be fun to buy some just to play the market a bit....
