I think one problem with the Anaheim show it that it was sandwiched between two Long Beach shows. There are 3 Long Beach shows per year, so that...
There seem to be 3 categories of varieties with grading services: 1. Obvious (to them at least) and which require no extra notation on the...
I didn't watch the Big Bang. Being too young by 15 gigayears for the real one, and not much interested in TV for the sitcom. So it's hard for me...
Breen wasn't the only one. There was this weird dude that gave us the numerical grading system we use today. Cal
The branch mint proofs mentioned in Breen's book were struck 1907 or earlier. Most (all?) were not authorized by the Bureau of the Mint. So, the...
Yeah, I was referring to ruminants with rumens. :) Cal

You might be right. After the battle at Gettysburg, Meade's army moved southeast, i.e. toward Washington DC. The wagon of gold could have been...
That's a good point. Strange for 2 tons of gold bullion to be traveling by wagon in NW PA though. Maybe shipped via Great Lakes to Erie and then...
Apparently, something valuable from the past has turned up. See link. If it's gold intended for pay for Union soldiers, it would have to be...
I'd degrease the coins with acetone as a starter. It's safe for all metal coins. Search for acetone in the forums; you'll find lots of info. I...
The government has been actively confiscating 1933 double eagles for decades whenever they have come to its attention. The Langbord coins are...
I've never sold on eBay, but bought a fair bit. When an item is listed for sale how does it get put in a category? I've assumed the seller...
I think one is considered "impaired". The ANA specimen as I recall. Cal
Because I buy and sell only PCGS or NGC certified coins and mostly at auction, I find the PCGS auction prices realized most useful. Covers both...
