Howdy OOFrank. I'm in a similar. though diminished, situation. I have saved every RPM, BIE, filled die, clashed die, and odd duck coin I've ever...
If you walked into a dealer's store with a pile of Morgans, told him you knew nothing about the value of what you had, but needed to sell what you...
When I started collecting there were no slabs, except Mint encased stuff. I had such disagreements with sellers, mostly about questionably cleaned...
OK, a guy named JT is head of ICG now. What happened at ANACS that once they were Tier #1 (weren't they?), and now that they have a new holder...
If it's a strong double you should see doubling on WE TRUST and maybe on IN GOD. There may be a spreading on the RTY in LIBERTY also. There may be...
OK if you had $2600 (or that much room on a cc), would you get the Legacy set, a 1909 S VDB - say PCGS MS63 RD or 64 RB, or an AU 1926S IH Nickle,...
I always had good success finding the Kennedy 1974D double die listed in the Red Book. I must have found a dozen. They sell on ebay from $10-$15....
The trick is not so much getting the rolls, but turning them back in after picking through them. I picked a bank specifically because it has a...
Is there a separate 'tail' to the 2?
Is there any doubling on IGWT?
Whatever prices knowledgeable buyers and sellers buy and sell to each (e.g. many dealer to dealer transactions ), you are avoiding addressing what...
I've read your post a few times and I'm having a hard time following you. Your 1st point is that the value of a coin is determined by what it...
IMOH Ebay has been as successful in the coin business because B&M coin dealers are just so opportunistic that their SOP is borderline dishonesty,...
Well since I started this, let me thank everyone for posting. To sum it up: Black Beauties are rare but everyone here has one or more, and paid...
Aha! They're in a book. So they're from 1958, 1959, and 1964? Does the book say the coins had a different composition or if there was just a...
Yeah, well that's what mine look like - Black Beauties. Are they proofs? How did they get black is what I wanted to know? Is it artificial toning?...
I've had these 2 nickels for many years, and they're marked "Black Nickels", they're both 1959s, and they seem uncirculated. They're very shiny,...
howdy. you have a Mint Set. The coins without mms are struck in Philadelphia, including the dime, which I don't think is rare, but I'm not a dime...
I picked the $10 Indian partly because of the stars on the rim.
It looks like the top of the 1 was sheared off and set next to the 1. How could this happen outside the striking process? And why wouldn't the...
Separate names with a comma.
