Re: something funny about the 1922 plain Lincoln Cent.
Thinking back to the OP, the known 1870-S $3 falls into a similar situation. The die was shipped without its mintmark whereby a mint worker hastily engraved a crude "S". Had that not occurred, the famous piece would only be considered a damaged Philadelphia example. -
Re: ***APRIL 2010 Gold and Silver Stocks/Options/Futures trading thread***
<< <i>That is quite an ominous chart, cohodk. I don't think the markets are ready to topple just yet, as SP500 at 1250 looked to me to be an important level that I feel it's destined to be reached. We're actually not that far... I'll be surprised if the markets to fall before reaching 1250, but it is of course possible. My… -
Re: Anyone else holding on to gold to sell after $3000?
I started selling about 1/4 of my gold at $2,750. I just sold 1/4 more between $2,800 and $2,900. As it is sitting around $2,950, I am waiting to sell, as the last half is more a long term hold to see what happens. There is going to be a short-term top sometime and I expect a 5-10% correction or consolidation phase maybe… -
Re: PCGS NGC CAC graders
Yeah, and they don’t find out by reading a book. Nor do graders themselves. And no, they don’t actually “know”. They all have opinions about what the “standards” are. Many collectors will have opinions that fall along similar lines, but many will not. As you can see in this very thread, it was put forward that an AU58… -

I arrived in Shanghai today after 5 days in Beijing and wanted to give a short report on the coin business here. I got a chance to go to two government coin and currency museums, visited some "reputable" coin dealers, and went to the antique market in Beijing to see some not so reputable dealers. Whats hot - the visit to… -

Re: Example #500 For Why eBay is Going the Way of Circuit City
There is a false statement if I ever heard one. I feel like I deserve one - do I get a discount?? NO! I ship next day on all my orders. I pack better than any other seller I have ever encountered. Just because a couple of sellers don't like me charging for shipping and have decided to ding my stars, then I lose my… -
