Re: Which of the 1866 Five-Cent Patterns are True Essays
In my mind, No. 2 is certainly J-473, so not all of the essays sent to McCulloch can qualify as great rarities. And, if consistency in the number of pieces struck guides our thinking, then J-461 fits into the No. 3 slot (although the possibility of restrikes comes into play) and J-470 fits in the No. 4 slot. But how… -

Re: For post 1964 circulating coinage, what criteria is used by you to determine if they should be slabb
I'm mostly an Ike kind of guy....and this is what I use: 1. Any error. 2. Any Clad Ike that looks to be 65 or higher....(64 or higher for 71-P & 72-P). 3. Any Silver Ike that looks like it has a shot at 68....(66 or higher for 71-S). 4. I don't do proof Ikes unless they have cool NT...(a lot of 74-S Silvers fall in this… -
Re: 1921 P Mercury Dime Junk Silver Find - Grade in!!
Wear from lying in the ground about 4 to 6 inches down for 80 years. Go drop a coin on the lawn. Now, see how long it "doesnt' take to descend 1/2 to 2 inches, not long. The rain the snow the soil has this effect. I have found countless coins including Morgan dollars (14) and I tell you the elements have an effect on the… -
Re: Juz bit*hin'
I am sorry to hear your troubled. I was unemployed for 18 months. We nearly lost the house. Then my Dad died. I nearly sold the coin collection. I was offered a eight dollar an hour job the same day I was to close the deal. I decided that was a sign to hold on. After several months trying to support my family and debts on… -
Re: IrishMike's prized spotted coin
Lakes - I'm curious, have you seen any as strong on the lower half as this one? Most I've seen have stronger upper detail, often showing the bustline on each side of the shield. Either the dies weren't always as parallel as we think -- which would account for the uneven strikes seen on a lot of IH's from this era -- or… -
Re: Somewhat OT Rick Probstein tells me I can file in small claims to get my cards back
then why would he put this up constantly? good to see your religion stance reasoning died pretty quickly, as i saw no reference in your last retort. rather "he can close up shop when he wants for whatever" and this is 100% fact...his offices were still open, phones being answered and listings would still be getting done… -

Re: In Memorium
Hi Lamborghini! Thanks for suggestion about the shaft replacement, but mine was a rather inexpensive Bounty Hunter. I didn't check into it, but I'd guess the cost of replacement would probably not be worth the expense. It was time for me to replace this detector, but I had been putting it off for sentimental reasons. My… -
Re: Do you remember when silver coins were still in circulation?
For a long time the melt value was not much over the face value, initially just a few cents on the dollar, but a lot of people figured "they're going to be worth a lot of money someday!" My mother was one of those people, and because my Dad handled a lot of change on his job they were able to put aside a little over $1,000…
