Just now arrived in the mail. It's graded AU-50 and is actually better looking in hand than in the CACG photo. Almost no chatter or dings and...
At my Local Coin Club last night and a fellow member, a high-end US Type Set collector, pulled out this beauty. It's a CACG MS-66+ and just...
Maybe I missed the gist of your question. If it's why is an 85-O going for over $400 in a slabbed GSA holder when Greysheet says a regular...
What's the question? Too high or too low in your thinking? Greysheet lists the wholesale price of a 85-O at $450 in MS-64. The CDN CPG retail...

Don't have the Buff proof but h'mm...
I already have a 1942 MS-66 in the type set but I wanted to replace it with something with a better strike, of higher value monetarily and with a...
As my late sainted mother used to tell me ad infinitum: "You have no one to blame but yourself."
Ah, indeed that's it. I'll have to find a source for smaller quantity. 250' of this would still be around for my great-great-great...
That annoyingly strong corrugated cardboard shipping packaging that is so difficult to open - what's it called? You know, the one that slabs are...
