The luster is somewhat subdued already, I'd never dip it. As for grade and value - 63, $180-$200.
I'll probably get there between 10 & 11. Anybody that wants can send me a PM with your cell # and I will give you mine so we can find each other....
As Derick mentioned, only sale I can find was the Goldberg auction in Sept. this year. Exact same coin sold for $700. Not even cgb has one listed...
I'd do the same thing I do with any coin, I first check the records on Heritage. I did just that with the coin you mentioned - there are none. And...
Yeah, but I should since the avatar was drawn based on a pic of me. [ATTACH]
Looking like Friday is gonna be the best day to meet folks this year. As for meeting Peter, I wonder how many would be as surprised as I was once...
As you well know there is a wide price range for any given coin and the Grey Sheet only list values for coins that are average for the grade. And...
That depends entirely on where you are looking. And what specific coins it is that you are looking for. But your comment suggests that you are...
And that's pretty much exactly what they do. And why they do it.
It's not that the values listed in books and magazines, or even web sites, are out dated. Nor is it that prices have changed since the book/mag...
If you count all coins (meaning any date), yeah the 69s outnumber the 70s. But in recent years, no, it's the other way around. There are many more...
Nahhhhh, 'course not ! And ya can never tell on which side of an issue I stand can ya Frank ? :)
OK, post a pic of the 62 coin and I'll see if I can explain the differences to you. But it will have to be the day after X-mas. That's assuming...
Easier and much safer solution, don't buy on ebay at all. There are plenty of respected dealers who will be more than happy to work with you. And...
Granted, but don't grade your coins using a magnifier. 95% of all grading should be done with the naked eye.
Correct. The graders never see a coin in anything but a flip. And sorry Endeavor, but there are scads of 7os ! With some coins, as many as 80-90%...
OK, but I'm curious, which Numimedia price is that you use ? They have about 6 different ones for every coin.
There is a difference between a 69 and a 70, just like there is a difference between a 66 and 67, 62 and 63, a 40 and 45, or any other 2...
Kevin - when you're done with guesses, please explain why you say you are lost.
Yeah sometimes. But just like all of the price guides the Numismedia values listed on Heritage are often off in either direction, too high or too...
Separate names with a comma.
