Re: How bout some pix of the people behind the coins ?
Just so Russ knows who that mysterious guy was that popped him in the nose. I'm much more civil on message boards than in real life, due to the fact that I'm a heathen with no class. In case I have hair the day Russ loses his two front teeth: Now shmort6552 will know who to go looking for on his 250cc patrol scooter.… -
Re: December slow?????
<< <i><< << I'm currently up 23,624.1% this month compared to last December. Russ, NCNE >> did you sell anything last Dec? >> Yes. Russ, NCNE >> Was a penny that sold for a penny???? >> Pretty close. Last December was my worst month in 2006, (read: it REALLY sucked), and most of the sales were the second half of the month.… -
Re: Grade this 1882 Indian Head Cent.
Russ Since you asked I will say the coin has been through NCS.This coin has the unmistakable look of a dunk in ms 70.Ask Charles Dougherty of Copper Coins. No mint state indian is stored in tissue paper.Don't slime out of this one Russ! Does the grade really matter? Why don't you state: Guess what Russ paid for the coin… -
Re: New here =)
I have actually talked to Russ off board before I registered. I had a few Kennedy Half questions, and who better to ask than Russ? I only knew about this site for 1 week and had already figured out he was crazy about Kennedy's lol. He helped me identify a 64 in some aftermarket package that my father had given me. Thanks… -
Re: Selling on Ebay no longer worthwhile...
<< <i>Bochi states that Russ does well, but Russ is earning a commission from other's coins. I think that should be stated. There is far more risk of loss when a dealer has to maintain his own inventory than when he is representing someone else's. >> I've sold just under $30,000 of my own purchased coins so far this year,… -
Re: The final straw: eBay going to 100% electronic payments.
<< <i> << <i>Oh, and for those who think this ISN'T a bad move, this month alone I've deposited $4468.83 in checks and money orders. It will hurt anybody selling in the collectibles categories. Russ, NCNE >> Russ, I suspect you pointed this out to your eBay rep. Have they responded? >> Yep, I have a call in to him. Haven't… -
Re: A challenge to forum members - I challenge each of us to be better participants here, in whatever wa
I'm pretty new here but what the heck...it's time I took a "shot" at someone. Yes, we all know that Mark was referring to Russ and his harsh, unforgiving keyboard. Actually, I can't rip on Russ. I found him quite helpful by steering me in the right direction by helping me learn about Kennedy halves with accentuated hair.… -
Re: Heads up on an eBay image thief.
Hell, I didn't think I was the first one to spot it. I was sure Russ had already seen it. Russ usually finds these things way before anyone else does. I sent the seller an email (before I ever talked to Russ since the seller claims all of the coins look exactly like the picture) asking him for a picture of several of the… -
Re: For half cents, do Cohen and Breen numbers indicate that each system is imperfect, or fully compleme
"Although old timers such as MrHalfDime can't seem to let valentine go , sorry Steve!) I have been called much worse than 'old timer', although I much prefer the term 'experienced'. When Russ Logan and John McCloskey were researching the "Federal Half Dimes", I was taken on board as an editor and fact checker, making use… -
Re: It's about damned time I got a decent eBay score.
<< <i>Is this one an Accented Hair? This is your chances to lay in a guess before I get the coin in. That one WAS a shot in the dark. Russ, NCNE >> This one on the reverse looks like the rays are broken under the UNUM which (according to Russ's web site) would most likely indicate an AH. Sure is a togh call from those…
