Overview on NumisEXPERT Software for U.S. Coin Collectors
NumisEXPERT: Collectors is an “Expert System”. It currently runs under Windows 98 (and newer).

Morgan dollars: Hub Varieties for the "Basic Set"
The PCGS Registry "Basic Set" of business strike Morgan dollars contains 97 coins. The set includes the 1878 8TF and 1878 7TF coins, and even the 7/8 tail feathers "Strong" variety. My idea of the "Basic Set" includes an additional three hub variety coins that I believe most Morgan dollar collectors would consider to be… -
Re: USPS Registered Mail Service has slowed to snail pace
<< <i> << <i>7/8 I have sent via First Class Registered and Priority registered. The First Class Registered is the one you must be using because they don't give an estimated Delivery Date.

Re: The Official 33-34 Goudey Baseball Threads
Just so the group knows, Griffins and Cmoking are two very accomplished card collectors. They've each amassed at least one 1933 Goudey set and I think Cmoking has done it twice via upgrades.

Re: Grades poppped... a beat down, but with a happy ending *** (with scans)
<< <i>Digi - why so many 6's? Corner wear? Centering? >> Good question. I wrote on the submission form "No qualifiers if the next lowest grade would suffice." I basically didn't want a card with 9 everything and 8 centering to get graded a PSA 9 oc. I'd rather have the 8. However, if the card is 9 everything, 5 centering,… -

GAI/PSA experience Sun times show @ chicago
Just a little FYI. Went to the Sun Times show sat morning and it was pretty decent. The first shocker was Roger Clemens was scheduled to sign from 1-3pm, and it changed to 11a-1pm. I imagine a bunch of people got screwed paying $199-299 bucks for an autograph (yes, thats right). Bob Gibson was there, he was cool, as was… -
Re: Wax Pack Storage
The problem with the gum tearing the wrapper is an issue only with wax packs in which the gum is loose inside the pack as the movement of the petrified gum can easily slice through thew wrapper during transfer if the pack is not packaged securely enough. Cellos do not pose that risk because the gum is already immobilized… -
Re: Lessons from collecting
* Coins, and collectibles more generally, have varying degrees of liquidity. Keep this in mind, especially if you sink retirement funds into coins. * It is much harder to sell coins than to buy them. Many collectors buy 'right' and later sell 'foolishly'. You need to carefully weigh the merits of the sales venue (auction,…
