Re: Is the 1818 14 star large cent a contemporary counterfeit?
MrEureka January 03, 2010 Patterson's letter states: It is probable that the manufacturers and distributors of these coins may not have known that the business was illegal as the spurious cents were not direct imitations of the true ones. What am I missing? Granted, I haven't seen the 1825 law to which he refers...… -
Re: True or false: All circulated coins have been cleaned.
"Any time the word "all" is used in a True or False statement, the answer tends to be "False"." I could not agree more. Any time that such extreme language (e.g., all, every, none, never, always), or other such hyperbole, is used in a statement, I tend to disagree. Although I understand the premise of your question, I… -
Re: 1972 Topps Football
I agree with Favre. I never recommend complete sets or unopened boxes to build a graded set. On the surface seems reasonable but not efficient dollar-wise. You can pick up so many graded cards cheaply on eBay. For the tougher ones, you can buy singles and send in for grading. This may not be a 'pure' way to build a graded… -
Re: MONEYORDER OR CASHIERS CHECK ONLY!
"Yup, there's no evidence that he's dishonest, he's just a poor businessman. " ///////////////////////////////////////////////////// The guy is a bum. He is dishonest when he claims to accept PayPal, and does not accept PayPal. ALL of his listings are in gross violation of EBAY TOS. EBAY forces people like the seller to… -
Re: Better Career: Derek Jeter versus Ted Williams ...
Baseball, Jeter doesn't campaign for the praise, but his fans certainly give him that type. I also don't see him going out of his way to correct it. I certainly would not like to receive all that praise, while all my partners get crumbs. And yes, people do say stuff all the time about Ted Williams not being able to win a… -
Re: No More Pennies?
False. Now that that bit of pedantry is out of the way, what something is and what it's called can be two different things, as Alice discovered in a conversation with the White Knight. Flying Eagle cents were contemporarily called nicks. -
Re: CACG Market Status Observations
Says me who drinks fresh squeezed lemonade. This whole CACG bashing thread is a false narrative bc: Fact, CAC and CACG use the exact same grading criteria. Hence PCGS/CAC, NGC/CAC, and CACG coins should have the same value if only the type and grade mattered (see below). Besides Facts 2-4 below, the only reasons they may… -
Re: Should the US Mint be backdating coins over a hundred years?
There should be a massive outcry over this. We as collectors depend on dating accuracy. For the mint to throw us and the hobby under the bus here is completely out of line. This isn't any better than a counterfeiter or other false advertiser. And to think our own mint did it. Unbelievable. -
Re: Roosevelt Dimes...

The dimes seem to be a pretty snug fit. The only issues with coins falling out look to be with the Peace Dollar... looks to have been taped in at one point. The Morgan Dollar is fairly snug, but I don't want to play with it! I remember the worst for falling out were these big silver coins... -
Re: Ebay feedback question.
Wow, that is pretty bold and assuming of the system. What difference does a couple of no feedback transactions make to eBay? eBay get's their fees, they shouldn't be making potentially false statements about transactions on my behalf. Personally, It's very rare that I leave non-positive feedback. But there are those times…
