Thanks for the reply. I kind of figured this was going to be the standard response from most people. Was wondering if people had success shooting...
I would like to take "good" (loaded word, I know) photos of my coins. Ideally, all coins would be raw, not encased in anything. That would enable...
I know there are some experts out there who may not be willing to toot their own horns. Maybe I could have also asked, "Who do you consider to be...
I like your writeup! I feel akin to a lot of what you talked about, most especially the "I don't..." parts!
I remember the Appalachian Jefferson buzz! What was that, early 2000s? Of course, I could never afford any of those monster-toned nickels. I don't...
You bring up good points. We're all a little bit of an expert, in our own way. Friends and family who know I'm a coin collector might think I'm an...
I remember your story well. As of matter of fact, you even sent me a PDF of your article: "Third Barber Dime Reverse Hub Type" back in Jun 2019. I...
Where does one go to report "unique and unpublished" types/varieties? Can anyone tell us? I'm assuming it's different for Ancients vs US vs...

I was just pondering my numismatic life, and am kind of embarrassed to admit that I really don’t know much about anything, numismatically! I’ve...
I'll throw my name in as proxy for @ElishaCollectsForever to get his first slabbed MS coin.
Congrats on 75K likes!!! That's amazing! BTW, not to toot my own horn, but I'm quickly closing in on 700 likes!!! :D
Just think if that was Obverse toned with the exact toning pattern, instead of Reverse! What would it sell for then??? Wow!
That sounds very cool and very thoughtful of you! It's great to tie it all together with the little notes! I'm not crying. You're crying!
Congrats, Dave! I've come to realize that I've NEVER finished an album. NEVER! Part of being a hoarder, and a pretty-shiny-object chaser, I guess....
Even though I could probably get a higher value, I chose the coin I would most want in my collection. Since I don't collect gold (I only have one...
Was there a change in the Grading Standards since I've been away from June until now? MS-12, MS-30, MS-58? I don't think so, Tim.
Unless you bought silver at $6/oz in 2005, and sold it for $115/oz in Jan 2026. LOL! But, I agree with you that you should buy what you want for...
Yeah, I only have the Clad Proof Sets. Maybe someone in my coin club will enjoy them more than me.
