Bear in mind that most of the coins you were looking for are too inexpensive to slab (under $200). Just not valuable enough to pay the cost of...
So in this particular case you had NOT bid your max. That may not have made a difference because you don't know how big the sniper's bids were....
Let's try this once more. I bid my maximum early. "Maximum" means I am not going any higher. "Early" means sometime before the last hour,...
If a coin makes it to my Watch List 95% of the time it will either get my max bid or be deleted. It's rare that I'll make a low ball bid just to see.
I pick out what I think I would like to bid on 4-5 days early. Put them on my Watch List. That give me time to comfortably evaluate what I think...
I'm the type that bids early and bids my max. Early for me is withing the last 24 hours ... but not a snipe. I don't want to sit in front of my...
I've got the Coin Values book Making the Grade which should get me looking in the correct places for Washington Quarters.
Well, let's see if I can put this info into practice. If I'm going to sell a coin, I want to get the description as right as I can. Obviously...

And the reverse also.
QUESTION 1: You look at a coin and see breaks in the natural luster on some of the high points. Does the CAUSE of the breaks in luster make a...
The off-color surfaces (brownish) are not unusual for those coins when poorly stored such as in an envelope made with non-archival paper. Strike...
I might suggest doing a silver 3 cent type set instead. An XF set of the three varieties could be done for about $300. Less if you opt for a...
The luster break is a definite possibility. These coins have been in at least 2 albums with the plastic strips (the latest is an Intercept Shield...
I do my raw coins with a scanner for inventory purposes. Originally I did them at 300 dpi, then reduced the images to the size you see. For disk...
Okay, this is the best I can do with the images I've saved. Click on it to get the max size. [IMG] If it's not good enough, I have two...
Just checking. Did you click on the image to expand it to the larger size? I asked the original question because I have all those images. And...
I'm not asking you to grade this coin. I'm asking you if this image is good enough to allow you to reasonably grade the coin. If I called this...
