Re: Things seem to have really slowed on fleabay..............
I started working on my book on 1922-D cents in the fall of 2019, scanning every eBay lot for possible new varieties, and even though the book is out I still scan the listings for interesting things. I would estimate that new listings are about 25-30% by number compared to when I started. Quality is down, and the number of… -
Re: 1827- the 10th Informative Picture thread about the Capped Bust Half Series- Post your Capped Bust H
The 1827 O-124 die marriage. I would like to discuss the specfic coin pictured later, but first let's talk about the dies and the diagnostics of this die marriage. The O-124 is one of the those Busties whose rarity falls on the threshold between "rare" and "very rare." The Bust Half Nut Club has refined the O-124's rarity… -
Re: Greece: is that the U.S. future?
Amassing $1.14 QUAD in unregulated and unbacked otc derivatives is not just doing what Wall Street does. That's a first for the USA and the world. If the govt had just allowed the financial system to fall apart from 2007-2009 that would not have been a very pretty outcome. But, the system would have started to repair… -
Re: ?? 1909sVDB to slab or not to slab ???
Thank you very much for sharing your wisdom. And it does seem like you are visualizing the type of plastic holder it is in correctly. I think I will try the eyeglass screwdriver. And thanks to all who chimed in and answered. It is obvious that I need to get it graded. I have seen raw coins sell on Ebay, and they seemed to… -
Re: Clemens banged John Daly's wife too
Stown, Your skin is quite thin. People 'goof' all the time what I wrote about. It is common to hear the saying, "talk off the ledge," "jumping off the bridge," etc... in sports talk. On one of the fantasy baseball sites they even have an article about telling people not to jump off the bridge due to poor Aprils. I didn't… -
Re: 1964 Peace Dollar - PCGS Reward $10,000
<< <i>In the large cent universe there is a charming story about a famous collector (Mickley?) who was taken to the Philadelphia Mint as a boy. They were just wrapping up for the day, but the coiner had the press crew swing the screw press one more time and strike one large cent, which was immediately handed to the boy. He… -
Re: Old Mint records or Archives.
The short answer is yes anyone can walk into the archives and research their records. Being in the Virgin Islands may pose a little logistic challenge, however. Back in March, I walked into the Phila Mint archives. I registered which is required and took almost 4 minutes. How strict are they? You can't bring anything with… -
Re: Is Kaepernick a jerk?
Originally posted by: SanctionII This thread reveals that sports talk forumites do have interests and opinions beyond the playing field and their favorite team/sport.

Re: Sacagawea Mule Coin - Real error or fraud?
I know that error coins are hard to find. So I had some made up at that mint of mine. I sort of got into a little bind, But I still love that mule of mine. Whoever wrote that, the play on words with regard to "I still love that mule of mine" line tying Jay's real life numismatic connections to a Country Western symbol is… -
Re: Got my first ever neutral feedback from an idiot newbie and ebay won't do anything
"...what would you guess the ratio is between "alts" designed solely to ding other sellers and regular, run of the mill buyers who don't "get" all the games and just post how they feel about the transaction?..." Since there are about 100-million EBAYers, only a tiny fraction of those are likely to fall into the "malicious"…
