I recently liquidated my collection. The buyer took nearly all of it. But one coin that he did not take was my proof 67 1951 Franklin. It's an NGC...
Great info, one and all. Many thanks. I've always thought of "certified" grades to be iffy to a certain extent. Regardless of how many experts...
About ten years ago, I went on a bit of a buying binge seeking out PCGS "old green holder" coins. Mostly Morgan dollars, but not entirely. Like...
Thanks, baseball. Being relatively new (again) to the coin collecting game, I had not heard of them before. But this seems like the way to go for me.
wxcoins suggested Great Collections to me. (Thanks again, BTW). I have contacted them and they seem like straight shooters. However, I really do...
Thanks a LOT, wxcoin! I am definitely going to check it out. I don't like eBay (well, i love buying on eBay but not selling). And the thought of...
Forgive me for changing the subject. But since this is an eBay thread, I thought that I would take the opportunity to ask: I'm thinking about...
I can loan you a chisel. Make a key out of it.
I am a firm believer in the old expression, "Buy the coin, not the grade." I recently picked up an 1876S Trade Dollar which is in a newer PCGS...
I have been collecting coins off-and-on since I was about 12 years old. Over the years, I've sold a few here and there, but relatively few. As I...
None IS a doubled die. Since we're interested in proper phraseology.
This, my friends, is a DOUBLED-DIE:...
I go away from the forum for a couple of weeks and decide to check back in. I think that I'm just going to stop looking at ANY thread someone even...
OP called it a "penny". But, you are, of course, correct. At least SOME of us have CENTS.
I'd like to buy your penny. Will you take $300 for it? Do you accept PayPal?
Hasn't anyone told you that you're supposed to hold the coin in your hand to photograph it? Preferably if you have really grubby looking fingers....
Here we go again... What is the fascination that people have with photographing coins while they're holding them in their hand? Two points: a) I...
I'm just being sarcastic. But, for the life of me, I don't understand why anyone would even WANT to photograph anything (a ring notwithstanding,...
Is it really easier to photograph a coin while holding it in your hand than it is by lying it on a flat surface? BTW...clean your fingernails...
Darn. I was going to change my screen name to Doubl Eddie. Someone beat me to it. But my name isn't Eddie. Then again, it isn't Mark, either.
Separate names with a comma.
