Yes, holder is closed tight (which is good), but can be opened, it's not completely sealed. Will try that in a little bit, especially when the...
I'll bump this up. I've found multiple 1992 silver proof sets, as well as 1998 regular proof and "premier" proof (don't know what the difference...
Will try to do that... it's a little difficult because of the plastic holder it's in as well. I might try opening it and getting a good shot in a...
Ok, so far this gives me hope... :) Any opinions on what it might grade at? I'm not hopeful about the original MS65 given to it, but if it looks...
Here's a 1909 I have in an album I found, some sort of penny/stamp history thing called "Diamond Jubilee Treasury". Can't take a pic of the...
Congrats! Wife and I celebrated our 10th anniversary this year back in May. Good luck!
I found a 1926 Peace dollar searching through some old storage boxes. It was purchased in 1992 from a place called "Wall Street Rare Coins Inc",...
As one affected, I will say that I've been in touch with a couple, and multiple avenues are being worked on. The seller has responded via PM to...

One thing I have a lot of are uncirculated mint / mint proof sets from the 1970's through mid-2000's (found one 1964, think I have a '68 or '69 as...
Wow. Hope my kids aren't reading over my shoulder, otherwise I'm in trouble... :) They'd flip if they got this set, however I'd be worried...

Just to illustrate my point, take a look at the thread about buying slabbed first spouse/golden buffalos. Specifically this post:...
While I understand your points, I still think it's yet another tool for people to use to help them make informed decisions. Is it perfect, no,...

Thanks for the advice. I've seen many a post about the differences (or lack thereof) between a 69 and 70, and to my very untrained eye I can...
