The southern coastline of the Nation is about to be struck by a storm of the Century, and all anyone can do is complain about an alleged affront from one dealer to another which has been denyed by Legend. In the great events of our time, it is a trivial, matter of no great importance to anyone. It takes truly small minds… -

Re: Numismatic Goals for 2026
As usual I'll keep an eye open for nice renaissance and baroque era low denomination coins from the cities of Braunschweig, Hannover, Göttingen, Hildesheim, Northeim, Einbeck, Hameln and other places in southern Lower Saxony. A medieval coin from the Bishopic of Hildesheim would be nice aswell. I should also keep my habit… -
Re: I’d better stick to the coin shops in the genteel Connecticut ‘burbs, rather than trying to run with
Great read and great report Mr. L. These here folks down in South Ga. are mighty nice like that also. My local dealer will even let you reach over the counter, slide the case open, and pull out a tray of coins to look through......all while he's in the back. Southern Hospitality at it's finest.

Looks like PVC to me…I’ve been dealing with pvc on the Kennedy half dollars I inherited, wow it’s a lot but it’s with it to take it off — You should search the thread I posted about my Kennedys, there are some great comments by people in this group and they helped a lot.

Re: It seems that some people are always looking to find something wrong with what sellers do...
When was the last time someone posted a thread recommending dealers they have done business with? I formerly started a new thread and for newps on these boards and gave credit to the dealer who sold me the coin. I decided against this practice when the coins became more expensive (compared to the average coin bought/sold… -

my first southern mint half eagle, 1845O, guess the grade if you wish. grade revealed.
This could be a fun guess the grade because you have to give it a bit of thought if you wish to match PCGS. I wont give a description because the pics should show most everything going on.
