Since I am so horrible taking pics of coins, I always thought I should figure out a way to videotape me going into the SDB and opening up boxes....
Man, don't know how I missed this thread. I would probably say I am one of the board's both hoarders and buyers of hoards. I agree, they can be...
....but no, most companies only care about their bottom line.
I was being self deprecating. I still have Danscos from when I collected US coins with AU bust halves, quarters, draped bust, etc. I am imagining...
One wonders about the future of albums though. With the slabbers taking over the world, I bet lower and lower demand. I bet I am one of the few...
Come on, scarce US coins are ALWAYS found in China and sold by Indonesians. ;) Make you wonder about what some people are thinking.
Rachel, I have never read your posts. I am not an error collector. Yes, some people like to be condescending. Fact of life. However, in our "old...
It has always been that way TBH. No one really wants to buy complete collections. Everyone wants to put their own together. Any dealer will tell...

Yeah, I believe that too. Given who he is, why wouldn't he have some custom code to snipe at any site he wishes. I was going to go after a...
I would leave as is. Most of these have been dipped. If it is not your taste, trade for a bright one you like. Problem is, your coin may have...
Yeah, I get into ruts as well, when I hit a collecting stop sign. That is why I have so many different collecting interests. I know you have some...
I agree with @TIF . "Overpaid" is tricky. I am cheap, but I also notice that the coins I "overpay" for usually are the ones giving me the greatest...
Overall, since we haven't seen inflation much yet, and with higher treasury yields likely to continue to increase the dollar, it is an overall...
Wow, you guys are more brutal and old school ancient graders. Of course, we do not worry about dug coins? In ancients, this coin would be a Fine net.
Way too simplistic. You have to take into account what discount/premium to spot you will get when you sell. Buying generic gold bars at lower...
To me, for any 93 coin, that is a fantastic looking F-12. Most I have seen in that range for a 93 do not look as nice.
Not a copper guru either. Early copper usually gets a bump, but if not details I would wager grade lowered due to surfaces. F15 is the highest I...
Welcome. I, along with some others here, are Central Asian enthusiasts. Myself I am into Sogdiana, Persian, and Hunnic coins, and Chinese on...
That bright of a blue I would say would be from chemical cleaners. I have seen US, World, and ancient coins over the years with the same colors....
