I've been noodling around with creating my own photo pair images, like these two below. This month represents the five-year anniversary of my...
Hey, I've got a cool idea... find a friend in law enforcement who can run the print on that. See if you can name the person who left that massive...
I'm in 100% agreement with P&G here. It's an interesting and attractive original coin right now. Plus, why grade it at all? (Maybe you're doing a...
Congrats on picking up some tricky (re)marriages and nice toners! I talk a lot about the 1832 LM-10.x remarriages (LM-1 thru LM-4, which gets a...
Look forward to seeing what half dime it is (especially if it's a capped bust and not one of those "modern" Seated coins). Sorry to miss the fun...

@Randy Abercrombie, welcome to the dark side! The world of toned coins is rich beyond compare! :-)
I vaguely remember: to cancel my Littleton subscription / emails / letters, I had to carry the One Ring to Mordor and throw it in the fires. I...
I think @ewomack was the only commenter here who mentioned "inflation," but it occurs to me: if a person only buys coins and never sells, they are...
This is great advice. The selling experience has also taught me some things I needed to know about BUYING for my collection. Ferinstance, a coin's...
