Re: What would the retail market value be for the following:
Maywood. I will take cell phone pictures of the four OGP proof sets and post them to this thread. I expect that the photos will not show the coins as they look in hand under good lighting (through the cello). You are correct that sometimes what appears as frost when looking through the cello is hazed brilliant surfaces.… -
Re: "No S" 40% silver Proof Bicentennial Quarter, Half and Dollar
<< <i>What in the world are "wrong stocks"? Glad you are an Ike fan Neca, as there are precious few about. Now, about the 800k figure - if you have the money to spend, do let me know! LOL... >> LOL... Generally speaking, in the die, strike, or planchet, error classification world, wrong stock coins would fall into the… -
Re: One more reason to hate the NFL
Read an article the other day about the 72 Dolphins. They made history that year, but price paid was stiff. Bill Stanfill (deceased) suffered from dementia and Parkinson's. A posthumous examination of Earl Morrall's brain revealed CTE. Tim Foley and Hubert Ginn suffer from cognitive impairment. Jim Langer's "knees and legs… -
Re: Sorry I brought the whole JohnZ thng back up...
<< <i>Razorface and others: the issue isn't about patience. The issue is that John Z made statements that were patently false. He said more than a month ago that the coins were in the mail, when time has proven that to be totally untrue. However, it was learned that John had some family issues that prevented him from… -
Re: Hey TDN ! Got your radar on ?
Having seen both coins in hand, and examining both very closely, both coins have luster across the surfaces, but the character of the luster is very different between the two. The Norweb specimen is an earlier die state than the former Cardinal specimen, with the Cardinal specimen falling after the dies clashed and were… -
Re: Any elongated cent collectors? 1904 St. Louis Worlds Fair
<< <i> << <i>Hi, Neat!! As far as being made at the Fair, almost certainly. 1939 NYWF is my area - there were 50 stands or booths there that did "penny crushing" run by "Frank Galland's Penny Crushers" and they all have a variety of designs both general and exhibit-specific. I am STILL looking for a "stretched" Mercury… -
Re: I just can't believe SBAs go for this much money
<< <i>I've never understood why there can be so many MS-65, 66 and 67 Morgans, and there are so few Ikes or Susies in those grades, despite the fact that the Morgans had another 100 years to be mishandled (time in vaults notwithstanding). Is the minting process or the handling that much rougher on coins today? Are TPGs… -
Re: premiums for silver again going down.
Price goes up, demand goes up. premiums up. Price goes down, demand goes down. premiums down. Depends on the true availability which obviously no one seems to know because there are clearly 2 camps on what true supplies are. Is there a silver shortage or isn't there? Can all the comex long contracts be paid off with real… -
1875-S Trade Dollar PCGS AU-58 With Chop Marks
This is the best of both worlds in my opinion. Graded by our hosts as AU-58 this coin exhibits a strong strike from fairly fresh dies as can be ascertained by the reflective steel like fields along with a small degree of cameo in the devices. Excellent detail that shows the entirety of the design, the added chop marks are… -
Wisconsin "extra leaf" quarters -- my analysis
Fred Weinberg was kind enough to send me two "high leaf", two "low leaf", and two normal Wisconsin quarters. Considering the amount of interest shown in these varieties on this message board, I thought I'd share my observations, analysis, and conclusions regarding them. I hope they prove helpful to some of you. A number of…
