Exactly the way I do it Dave. I bid what I'm willing to pay and if someone is willing to pay more then I just move on. Bruce
Great to see your response davey. I really wanted to hear from someone like yourself who had an insight into that era. It's really sad to hear of...
It's interesting that you mention the defacing of the Queen's portrait as a political protest Scottishmoney. I have a Queen Victoria Six-Pence...
Agreed Quartered, PMD. The coin has a lot of dings on it and it appears as if one just took of part of the "L". Bruce
They're all beauties Lance, but I'm just as interested in seeing your "real" 1799 than pictures of these pedigrees. Any Bust Dollar is a treasure...
[ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH] As some of you know I'm an avid collector and researcher of primarily 19th Century U.S. counterstamps. I've...
I also use EZ-Sniper and have had great luck on bidding New. Using a snipe program lets you place you high bid with them so you don't have to hang...
I think you're doing the right thing Peter. Sounds like it will be easier for all concerned, certainly for me. Bruce
Great information Thinn!. I research almost anything I buy because knowing something about a piece in your collection gives added meaning to it....

Well said Ken, you just get better with age...well, that's what they tell me anyway. :eek: Bruce
Hope you didn't get any of that gorilla snot on the note Steve...could make it toxic.:D That's too funny. I don't have any great stories like...
Good to have you here turnabuck. Idler issued so many different types of tokens that it's hard to tell exactly which one this is without clearer...
The scanner looks much better Alex. I usually get good results scanning coins with the exception of counterstamps. I always photograph...
Man dwhiz, that's one pretty Buffalo! You obviously have good taste in coins, but what's with the Phillies "thingy." :D Bruce
The few times I had to clean goo off a slab I used a automobile bug and tar remover Mike. I sprayed a little on a rag and rubbed it on. The goo...
I'd love to see that exhibit Bruce, but a little too far away for me to travel to. I've always had an interest in collecting this type of...
Good to have you here on CT Capernicus. Though the pictures are a bit fuzzy it appears to be PMD. It looks like the coin was struck with a chisel...
Back into the forums Peter. I think it will simplify things and spark more member interest. Bruce
