Well, let's see... - I'm a little upset over the high price of coins - I'm still trying to figure out what to collect for my...
I've never run across anything like that, even in the places I won't go back to.
The TPGs probably don't want to invest in the storage and bandwidth, but it should be possible for them to put close-up photos of every coin they...
There you go again enjoying yourself watching the TPGs squirm and fight for their lives. Why, if someone didn't know better, they'd think you...
I've been casually looking around at CBHs [because of all of these interesting threads] in my usual spots and I haven't run across a single...

I do it a bit differently. I form an opinion about what I think the coin is worth, then ask "what's the price?" I know others will disagree, but...
If you are using the PCGS price guide to buy coins, then it isn't free. It's costing you a tremendous amount of money by encouraging you to overbid.

It isn't just you. It's a big time business now, not just a hobby. Ebay and TPGs are both a blessing and curse. I collect mostly circulated...
If you don't want to drive far and don't want to take a chance with Ebay, take a look at www.alaskacoinexchange.com. They have a large selection...
