I totally agree with you on your reasoning. I get dealers attempt to sell gold if that's what they have, but in your case, the dealers attempting...
You, sir, have received the unofficial Murray Walker award. For context, one of his famous quotes while commentating Formula 1 was "There's...
I'm wondering this because not too long ago, I boycotted a relatively big show (don't remember the exact count but it was about 125-150 tables)...
If I were to guess, I'd say that's about a VF-20 - aka a $100+ coin picked up for $25. You did awesome on this one.
I'm thinking maybe XF details. I've never seen that token before, and it's definitely interesting. I take it they sold really well at shows? They...
I'm thinking AU58 details, cleaned, based on the picture, but if the coin's look is because of the picture, straight 58.
Likely a replica of a Greek tetradrachm with the Athenian owl, but to be sure if it's genuine or fake, start by weighing it. Genuine examples...
At the local shows I go to, the monthly one (71st Street, which I try to get to every 2-3 months) is $50 a 6-foot table, and the one held twice a...
May have been cleaned but if not, AU-55.
I'm thinking about, when I go to coin shows, putting out a set buy/sell spread on "junk silver" (90% dimes, quarters, halves, and silver dollars)...
if that's an illness, then i'm a carrier of it. ;)
Yep, still lovin' 'em every day. Except now, I'm busier than ever with coins I'm dealing in, once I finally get them priced while occasionally...
Looks like slight environmental damage on the specified area. Still worth $1 though.
I'll say AU-55.
It does look like an MS coin with full bands; I'm at MS-63 FB.
Sometimes I feel as old as ol' Fred Flinstone. Today, though, I felt really good and took a trip to one of my 2 favorite coin shops. I'll...
Personally I think the issue price is way too much for such a chance, but I hope for your sake that you get at least a $1,000 coin or better,...
in that case, you will get a pm/dm when i list a really nice icg morgan on the bay ;) In slight seriousness, it'll still be several months before...
That looks like one of the coins you'd have to see in person to grade, no matter how good at grading you are. The pictures definitely don't help,...
I wouldn't exactly call that "snob status"; that sounds more like personal preferences, which go a long way in coins. ICG is sometimes...
