Re: My 1970's Mega Super Star Team...the HOF....and outright disgut.
Munson was not productive when he died. He had no power for the last year and a half of his career. His slugging % was down 100 points from what it was in 77. He was at an age when catchers declined, and he gave every indication of fitting the pattern. "Why Tony Perez and not Steve Garvey? What's the difference? There… -
Re: Going to a coin show with $5,000--UPDATE
I'll go out on a limb (and already have) to state that this may be the first bull market in recent memory (not prior the 1940's) where many "key" date coins take a good hit, esp those that have been run up in multiples. It's the sleeper 2nd or 3rd tiered keys that probably have the best chance of surviving a down market,… -
When did the bottom fall out of Washington quarter values?
I've collected Washies for a few decades, both in a Dansco and TPG. My coins are uncs. My PCGS collection of quarters are 66 and 67's. I just glanced at the price guide for this series complete date and mm and was somewhat shocked at CU's indication of values. Seems like they have plummeted?! Just wondering when this… -
Re: Describe your close calls
With my first modern detector, a brand-new Garrett GTA-500 (back in 1992), I was stepping outside to use it for only the second or third time. I lived at the top of a steep hill in the mountains of NC at the time. Our yard had a rather steep incline at the bottom- a short embankment with the street below. It was early… -
Re: Enduring Liberty 2026 Semiquincentennial Half Dollar Two-Roll Set
The wait might be too long since you’re looking at September delivery. Dime bags due then, some more quarters…..the late fall looks to be backorder filling time for the Mint. Not much else going on -
Re: Boston Red Sox Thread
Paul It isn't what he said, it's when and where he said it. You cannot let fans bug you so much that you lose your cool like that. It's not like he was playing poker with a bunch of buds. When I play poker at the Elk's, there are so many F-bombs that some losing players can't formulate a sentence without it. When Duran is… -
For Sale : 1874-CC $5 VF20 PCGS CAC
The 1874-CC $5 Liberty Head Half Eagle is widely regarded as one of the most collected Carson City issue of the 1870–1878 half eagle run. Its availability should not be overstated given a modest original mintage of just 21,198 pieces and a modern survival estimate hovering near 200 coins across all grades. Struck in the… -
Re: Some big Nolan Ryan Sells lately..
because it was before pitch counts were actually tracked I didn't believe this one... two hundred and thirty-five pitches? that's insane. his arm would fall off. Legend. but the math actually says he pitched an efficient game at the 235 estimate with the expected pitch total based on the number of strikeouts, walks, and… -
Re: What will they be worth? 2026 Privy Quarter
In fairness to @MsMorrisine they stated their opinion based on one individual W quarters release which was 2 million not all the releases totaling 10 million. However, I must fact check them on the initial sale prices of the July 4th privies. On Ebay they were over $4000, then $2500 and have been dropping steadily to the… -
Junior's Numismatic Lesson of the Day: Problems of the Early Mint
The Early Mint was plagued with problems and growing pains during the late eighteenth century. It took the Mint many years to iron out all the details and settle into better and better methods of minting coins. The planning required for minting coins in those first forty or so years ago was lengthy and complex. The…
