Re: Questions About Flying To Card Shows
<< <i>You can't lock your checked bags.. they will confirm this when you check them. >> That is simply not true. You can lock any bag that you wish. It's just that if they decide to inspect your bag in greater detail they will destroy the lock. That is unless you are using the TSA approved locks which TSA personnel have a… -
Re: Danged good 92-S $5 Lib counterfeit.
You might find this story amusing. In my old home town, a college student brought some coins to the local coin shop for sale, including an 1862-S quarter eagle in AU (roughly $10,000 coin at the time). The dealers in the shop and the regular customers (including myself) all thought it was real, so we sent it to ANACS. They… -
Re: Guess the Grade on this 1800 Half Eagle!
I have mixed feelings about this whole issue. Here are some random thoughts... 1. If an auction company fully disclosed the problems and pitfalls of every coin, no coin would ever be sold. Same goes for more descriptive negative language on the holder. 2. The coin does not look that bad to me. Without high magnification,… -
Re: Wish you had it back thread
1985, Webb Road Flea Market. There was a local dealer there with a Mantle rookie. I believe, and Im sure someone here has the old beckett to back me up, it was booking at 1100.00 I think. He said he would take 1000.00. Now bear in mind, at the time Im 12, but my grandpa had passed away and left all the grandkids 1000.00. I… -
Re: You Gotta Be Kidding....Has He Lost His Marbles?
Thats like me- I have sold so many odds and ends that I would have thought had no value. My father and I have a huge collection of hunting, fishing and sport related collectibles. We usually don't pay alot for it but whenever we can get a cool piece for a few bucks at a flea market or garage sale we get it. A few years ago… -
Re: OT: The Official Derailed / Soap Opera Thread
A plead to axtell, I am personally sick and tired of your constant harassment of fellow posters. Just because you have a different opinion, that doesn't give you the right to abuse this fine forum. You have a different opinion from the majority? Fine, state your case and then move on. By constantly changing your stance,… -
Re: Im excited to share my new half dollars! *with results!
if it comes back genuine, sweet, and if not, still sweet. I’m doing all of this for the learning aspect of it. I might be wrong for sending in a fake coin. I understand, but frankly it just gives PCGS more money to run this forum ;) Im doing this all for fun guys. P.s. I live in a major city like I said, our flea market is… -
Re: I would like to some macro image attempts.
Great job everyone, the point of a star was exactly what I was looking for, has the look of a shark tooth, very impressive Mark. Mind sharing with us your set up for that shot? Guess the goal here was to see what everyone is using, i.e. lens, settings camera. I'll admit my rig between the camera, adapter and screw on 8x… -
Re: Storage Wars new episode tonight - COINS!
I get a huge laugh when they go into the storage unit and 'value' the stuff. One episode had Jarrod pricing a dusty old used golf bag as "there's at least $50 right there". Come on, I can pick up two or three of these things by just driving through the neighborhood on every garbage day. And how about the fact they have to… -
Re: i think im gonna be sick...
<< <i> << <i>Perhaps that's how he could afford it to begin with. In other words, if it didn't have the hole in it, the coin wouldn't have been there, in which case you would have felt a lot better, right? >> Depends. Did he know the 1886 is a better date? Sometimes stuff like this slips into a flea market junk box. If he…
