Re: Graded Seated Liberty Quarters in VF

They fall into the impossible category. :p Of the "big 4" my 70-cc was straight graded but crap. 71-cc was details graded so you know it was extra crappy. 72-cc was market acceptable and not a bad coin overall (and is by far the most common of the 4). 73-cc was the only totally original one of the bunch. It probably didn't… -
Re: My metal detecting finds: 2014 to the present
It rained quite a lot Tuesday night and Wednesday morning; so, I was expecting some great finds when I detected on Wednesday. I didn't find a single old coin; but, I did find this very old looking metal toy soldier. It's 1 3/4" tall. Finding it was dumb luck. I dug a high tone that was about 8 or 10 inches deep that turned… -
Re: Advice Wanted! Will Getting Variety Attribution on THIS Coin Help or Hurt When Selling?
No vote, but am in agreement with @TomB and others. This seems like a effort in futility, with added cost and risk, to show a common Die Marriage on the holder, possibly creating a "certification rarity" for a future sale that may or may not have bidders that want the attribution on their holders. Most early federal buyers… -

Re: Well it looks like Beckett killed their message boards today
<< <i> << <i>I know that some here have to at least spent some time on Beckett's message boards. From the looks of it they launched a new site and did away with the message boards, instead it is more of an ecommerce site where there is a charge for everything (including trading) and the discussion section is all that is… -
Re: Your first Coin Album
Whitman Lincoln folder starting 1944 from my grandfather. Back in 1961 or 1962. I still have the folder today. It shows where I scotch taped the coins into place, preventing them from falling out.... What any 9 year old kid would have done! 😂 And yes, the elusive 55-S was a bear to find until a bought one for 25¢ or 30¢.… -
Re: Sharing results from first CAC stickering submission in 6 years
# Ownership bias is tough. And very real, especially when we start to fall in love with our coins. I remember a couple-three years ago I went like 14 for 30 with CAC, and I was really kind of butt-hurt and scratching my head until I really put the critical eye back on them after they returned. I still disagreed with maybe… -
FS : Certified VAMs -- Available Here Before I put on eBay (UPDATED)
Giving the Forum community a shot at making offers on these nice VAMs before I list them at eBay. Below are the tentative descriptions I would auction them with. THe reserve language obviously doesn't apply here. A reasonable offer certainly will be considered. I can go a little lower selling on BST, obviously, since I… -
Registry Set question

I added a set (Seung-Yuop Lee Master Set) to My Sets but it is showing as Published: False. What does this mean? I accidentally added this set twice and "retired" the second one because I didn't see a delete option. When I click on this set it shows the composition but I'm unable to do anything (i.e. add cards I have that… -
1944 2 FR, Belgique shattered die?

I just wonder, would this fall under the “shattered die” category for world coins, in cuds on coins? There are 3 different cracks starting from the rim moving inward. If not what do you feel like it is? Unusual die cracks? I think this is so cool!! I want to send this to cuds if i can figure out how to lol Not sure why the…
