Re: Slab collectors how rare are these? David Hall investment group graded Dime on Ebay
@Mr_Spud said:
I think the dimes are the most common of these, I picked this one up about 20 years ago. Not sure what it’s worth or what I paid, but I left the $130 price tag on it so I think I got it for a bit less than that back then.
That looks like a 66 or 67 FB
Re: Care to weigh in on what a competetive offer would be ... ?
the one guy i liked at these shows has been absent from dedham recently , i don't remember his name but he was usually a solid buyer.
I meant to get up to devens to look for him but probably wont this show
when old coin show guys suddenly aren't there its usually not a good sign
Could PCGS Customize A Holder To Make It Any Less Desirable?
I'm not killing the seller of this coin, but I'm thinking that most folks would have more than one issue with the set-up of the coin in the slab. PCGS graded it as a mint state coin and it looks like it might have mint state surfaces, but who knows as the images are not good enough to really find out. The seller also offers a return policy of 30-days and the BIN is absolutely in line with the PCGS price guide and is consistent with auction sales. Again, no shade or hate on the seller.
However, the slab just makes my eyes bleed, more or less, and I can't imagine this helps the liquidity of a coin like this. Given how so many of us have a little bit of OCD when it comes to holder generation, look of coins and whatnot this just makes me scratch my head and say "wow..."

Re: $49k Hammer for a 1955 cent! Another incredible auction result for an extremely common coin, no CAC
I have to wonder why some members get so annoyed by what others buy, collect, or do with their money.
A competent psychiatrist would have a field day here. 😂😂

Re: Activity page issue
The Activity page is still not working for me (MANY months now) on my iPad, and I will not be home until late today to try on my Windows Chrome Desktop. But I’m not optimistic.

Garish is the adjective that springs to mind.

After many hours spent viewing Stewart's collections I'm a little topped out on cents!
But as the saying goes, "collect what you like", so if the buyer is happy with the purchase then it's all good!
Re: Just curious: natural or artificial toning?
The color on the rims would likely be graded “questionable toning” based on my PCGS submission experience. But I think it looks cool and would just enjoy it as-is.
