I started reading about Coinstar finds well over two years. In that time, I have religiously checked the reject tray on every machine I pass. I...
I am not sure if it is the lighting in the bottom set, but the devices seem awfully white and the fields seem to have a lot of noise. The cheek...
I use Dansco but LOVE Library of Coins when I can find them at auctions and such. I got a gorgeous LoC Morgan book last year that half filled and...
It's also worth noting that many people confuse "shininess" for luster. A shiny coin with no telltale cartwheeling is usually not a good sign. A...

It's of course up to the individual, but I give an emphatic, "Yes!", to upgrading if it's a series you love and are passionate about. I focus on...
I keep all early year Jefferson nickels out of habit mainly because I enjoy the fact that I own something that has a lot of history in it. I love...
Thanks for the input! On a whim, I decided to start checking out Heritage's auction archives, and it seems like a dead-match as far as...
[ATTACH][ATTACH] This is a coin that I had been trying to grade, but I was having trouble pinpointing what grade seems appropriate. It has never...
