World Coins from Early America Set
In Early America coins from around the world were the standard medium of exchange, dominated by the Spanish milled coinage of Mexico and Spanish mints in the colonies. I have worked with the PCGS Set Registry team to form a compilation of coins representative of the countries and coinage which played a role in our early… -
Re: When was the last time you traded cards ... IN PERSON?
I have a friend from childhood that I see every few months, and trades happen every time. Usually, we've exchanged want lists ahead of time, so we bring those cards to the deal, plus whatever extras we've come up with from random lots we've purchased or cards that we've upgraded that we suspect the other guy may be… -
My Long Beach report.
I decided to get away from work and attend the Long Beach show. I called a friend of mine who lives in west LA to see if he wanted to get together. He said yes and invited me to stay at his place. I drove from the SF Bay area to Long Beach on Thursday morning. I left home at 3:00 a.m. At about 4:45 a.m. driving south on… -
Re: Anyone know how the PCGS3000 was created?
With approx 3,000 items on that list I have a feeling I know where the PCGS3000 label came from. I suspect the index is averaged and weighted per item, per dollar value or something like that so that it isn't heavily skewed towards big dollar coins. The index is based in 1970 with an arbitrary value of $1,000 assigned to… -
Re: My Ron Santo Master Set Registry
Dear Nathan, Thanks again for the kind words. Honestly, do not sell yourself short on perhaps trying to do battle for that 1961 Bazooka panel in PSA 9. They do not go for all that much, compared to how tough they actually are. Bazookas have been misunderstood, under-appreciated, and undervalued for so long. It is too bad… -

Re: 1908 $10 Roman Finish PR65 PCGS. CAC a beauty of the beauties.
You might be right about a "long hold" but you might just as easily be wrong. Just out of curiosity, upon what did you base your opinion? There are only two examples known for the 1908 Roman Proof $10's and they're fascinating coins. Here's the lot description: Link:… -
Showcasing versus security (the museum conundrum)
Rare coins are beautiful, and the better a find is, the more we want to show it off. But, at the same time, we also want to safeguard our collections and avoid attracting undue attention. And, the better a coin is, the greater this problem becomes. Who wouldn't want to show off an ultra-high relief PR65 Saint Gaudens or an… -
So what's your opinion of this potential trade?
I got this Bust quarter from a forum member last year. Here's how it looked raw, in his pictures. Here it is again in my post-slabbing scans of it, which look pretty awful. Note the hairline through the T in LIBERTY. In hand, it is practically invisible from most angles. The scan made it jump out for some reason. (You… -
