A friend of mine and her husband recently inherited what sounds like a relatively small collection of coins from his sister(her sister-in-law,...
Understood about the grading. But, no. Mintages for proof Roosevelt dimes in the 50's make this slightly more desirable than your silver eagle, in...
As evidenced by the title of the topic, that wasn't the sole purpose for the post. My apologies, though, for deeply offending you two with my...
You saw the three blurred pictures but you missed the line about how awful I am with a camera? Hmm.
Hey all, long time/no post.. Hope you've all been well. I've been away from the forum for a bit but I've still been poking around at the LCS and...
Gotcha. I see it more in the picture you posted in this thread than I do on the EBayer's photos. I've seen(and sheepishly, owned) wheats that...
Good call. Thanks.
I'm sure someone much smarter than me will come along, but aren't over-dates typically on the last digit, like, 42 over a 41, type thing? And...
Does this same coin come back any percentage of the time as 'Genuine - Scratched'? That's a pretty heavy hit on the obverse starting from the...
In that neighborhood of a 58-60.. but I'll say because of some smoothness on the coat/jaw line/face I'll go with 58.
Just above the O on the reverse, is that on the holder or the coin? Looks to be on the coin.. Couple of minor dings here and there so I'll...
Forgot how much I love the reverse of that coin. So neat. Congrats.
Just ask to see the 90% bin if that's what you're interested in. And they have several rotating cases and they've never looked at me cross eyed...
He has a lot of nice coins, don't get me wrong. High grade, high quality. But, when I was looking at the Leif Erickson commemorative he had it in...
I think he's a little high on most(slabbed) things, but I still stop semi-regularly. I much prefer Coins, Stamps & Stuff.
This is great. I make it to Chris' shop pretty regularly and I'm glad they snagged this guy. Hilarious that he'd be dumb enough to come back in.
Tone and context! I don't want to discourage anyone from posting anything they feel is valid--just make sure it's valid, or at least be able to...
I've bought some coins off Craigslist with pretty fair results. There's some deals to be had but, be very careful about who you're meeting where...
I figure a dealer of your esteem probably has a half dozen or so jeweler's loupes that you might be able to use to find the FG at the bottom right...
Nothing to stop you from putting an ad on Craigslist that says, "Hey, before you take your coins to the Pawn Shop/Coin Store, give me a call", though.
