I'm going up to Philadelphia for a few days. Can anyone suggest any must-see numismatic exhibits or coin dealers in the area that I should make...
Some collectors are going to be turned off by any problem coin, including graded coins with very minor problems. That's their personal taste, and...
I've been able to get on it as normal, but purchase history has been completely offline all day as well as the ability to view completed listings....
Absolutely. Always buy the coin and not the holder. Having said that, when they started slabbing coins there were no internet auctions. You can't...
And yet coin grading has evolved considerably since its inception. Modern coin grading and grading services are still in their infancy compared to...
I think for modern coins it's not so much of a problem since there are so many problem-free examples. For classic coins though, there is already...

How does everyone feel about variety attribution on slabs? In general with all things being equal, if you were buying a slabbed coin that happened...
I just picked up an AU 55 capped bust quarter from the same seller (seller pics below). The pics are good but don't really do it justice. The...
Butt is July? The tail of the y could be pushed right due to the obstruction of the face.
I just use a free app called Silver Wallet on Android. It tells you spot for silver and lists the melt value for most denominations. You can even...
Go with the non-ogh.
Oh they were definitely done to show off the color, no question. I think the Peterson book was meant to be one you can leave on your coffee table....
