Re: The final straw: eBay going to 100% electronic payments.
<< <i> << <i>Oh, and for those who think this ISN'T a bad move, this month alone I've deposited $4468.83 in checks and money orders. It will hurt anybody selling in the collectibles categories. Russ, NCNE >> Russ, I suspect you pointed this out to your eBay rep. Have they responded? >> Yep, I have a call in to him. Haven't… -
Re: A challenge to forum members - I challenge each of us to be better participants here, in whatever wa
I'm pretty new here but what the heck...it's time I took a "shot" at someone. Yes, we all know that Mark was referring to Russ and his harsh, unforgiving keyboard. Actually, I can't rip on Russ. I found him quite helpful by steering me in the right direction by helping me learn about Kennedy halves with accentuated hair.… -
Re: Heads up on an eBay image thief.
Hell, I didn't think I was the first one to spot it. I was sure Russ had already seen it. Russ usually finds these things way before anyone else does. I sent the seller an email (before I ever talked to Russ since the seller claims all of the coins look exactly like the picture) asking him for a picture of several of the… -
Re: For half cents, do Cohen and Breen numbers indicate that each system is imperfect, or fully compleme
"Although old timers such as MrHalfDime can't seem to let valentine go , sorry Steve!) I have been called much worse than 'old timer', although I much prefer the term 'experienced'. When Russ Logan and John McCloskey were researching the "Federal Half Dimes", I was taken on board as an editor and fact checker, making use… -
Re: A Few More Thoughts About War Nickels
War nickels can become a life style if you don't know about their care and feeding. They don't make much fuss if left in their bag but once they are removed they consume everything and even need bathing. And then you're always washing up because even their bath water stinks. They're an old timers dream of the perfect… -
Re: It's about damned time I got a decent eBay score.
<< <i>Is this one an Accented Hair? This is your chances to lay in a guess before I get the coin in. That one WAS a shot in the dark. Russ, NCNE >> This one on the reverse looks like the rays are broken under the UNUM which (according to Russ's web site) would most likely indicate an AH. Sure is a togh call from those… -
Re: Hard To Buy Judging By Pictures On Ebay
<< <i> << <i>the coin and it had hairlines all over it, which didn't show up on the picture! Fortunately the seller is a stand-up guy >> If he were really a standup guy, he would have mentioned the hairlines in the auction description. Russ, NCNE >> Agreed, sometimes what they're 'not' saying can be worse than there… -
Re: Bust half offcenter
I don't much follow CBH errors, but this one is certainly worth a good premium for the amount of offcenter. The sad part is that the coins is in such a low grade. The coin may indeed be worth $1700 to an error collector, maybe more if two bidders really want it. Russ Logan would know immediately what this error is, and… -
Re: Is this PVC damage on this 1943 Lincoln Cent?
Weak! Russ is just playing with your heads! We could all stand a good laugh! Thanks Russ, I was a little down (don't know why) but I'm all better now. Laughter is good medicine!. I put mine up here once by sheer luck because I don't know how I did it! HEY where is that little "fru fru" icon-as you described it. The Kennedy… -
Re: Did I get a good buy for $20? Guess the grade.
<< <i> << <i>Let's see if DCAMfranklin and Russ will get into a brawl in this Frankie-related thread!! >> Eddie, I will no longer be doing that. I've just been provided some information about him that explains his difficulties, and I now know that he really can't help the way he is. My irritation has changed to sympathy…
