    i COULD

    I could take off my Caps Lock, for starters.

    I could tell you what I have my eye on, but then I'd have to kill you. image




    No, but seriously, I am selling more than buying these days. A lot of my money is going to be put towards getting several hundred coins photographed, since I lack the requisite skills and equipment.

    I have my eye on a PCGS common date $5 Liberty but it's just a casual glance at this point, still mostly window shopping.

    I was looking seriously at a Heritage auction lot, only to find the reserve was well above the current high bid, hundreds more than I was planning to bid.
    I collect Capped Bust series by variety in PCGS AU/MS grades.

  • rsdoug81rsdoug81 Posts: 682 ✭✭
    Not really looking to buy right now, but the 1793 1/2 cent in MS64 on Heritage caught my eye. For a cool $210,00 it can be yours.

    Also, I'll bet this is a nice circ trade dollar on Teletrade. Trade Dollar

    Re: Slabbed coins - There are some coins that LIVE within clear plastic and wear their labels with pride... while there are others that HIDE behind scratched plastic and are simply dragged along by a label. Then there are those coins that simply hang out, naked and free image

    I traded yesterday for an 1879 MS63RB IHC and today for an 1899 MS63BN IHC, a 1908 MS64RB IHC and seven raw IHC's(hopefully 63RB's).
    BTW as a new ANA member under the free 6 month signup, can I now send coins to PCGS for certification? I've been a member for years with NGC. Just curious.
    Sounds like some of us are keeping the market afloat.
    Thanks

    I haven't purchased a coin since the end of May and the one before that was in April. Was it because I didn't want to or couldn't? No. The ones I want aren't showing up. I'll be there when they are.

    Flea market odds and ends today. A two-headed Jefferson nickel. A very dark EF otherwise 1864 2 cent piece. A 1942 reichspfennig. A 1989 1/20th oz Panda. Mostly junk. I'd have been better off waiting to visit a shop or a show.
