Thank you! Nope; just a crazy dedicated hoarder collector from Chicago. That Elgin half is stunning!
During CSNS, I had a chance to reholder a few older slabs (some were a bit beat up by previous owners) and to regrade a couple. Wanted to share...
As many noticed, this is in fact a 1938-D/D and was graded MS66+ by PCGS. Since acquiring this piece, I added the 1938-D/S to my wishlist; I'd...
His tour of Baltimore Knife and Sword Co made me want to watch some Forged In Fire; that show's awesome.
It's been years since I've done a GTG thread and thought this newly regraded and photographed nickel would make an excellent comeback. What are...
I wasn't sure if this would capture my attention, but it turned out to be exceptionally cool! About 90 minutes into the 2 hr 30 min full recap...

I came in ~11 AM Thursday and there were 2x gentlemen exploring the CSNS table, but no line and no crowd. I'm going back tomorrow to pick up my...
This was a neat surprise! On Thursday, while giving away the Nebraska quarters, they were also selling some of last year's remaining Iowa...
This is a prime example of why Vault Boxes are not for me: lack of patience. In my world, boxes get shredded to bits on the walk from the mailbox...
I had a chance to attend CSNS earlier today and at the top of my short wishlist was an Isabella quarter. There were a surprising number of MS...
Holy cow, somebody found a 6th 1913 nickel and selling for only $50k?! What a win! /s
Whoa.. I've actually never seen a proof-like suffix on a Barber; exceptionally cool type set!!
I can't do just a single Barber coin. For your consideration, my Barber type set -- [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] CSNS '86 is around the corner...
