Re: Parsippany, NJ Coin Show on Sunday! Who is going?
So I attended the Parsippany show for the first time. It was packed. Hard to walk down the isles. Had to park at the ball field and walk 200 yds over to the PAL building. Did not see a policeman at the show. I really think every show should have a cop standing at the entrance. Didn't someone get followed home from this… -
Never try to teach a pig to sing.....
It never works and only serves to annoy the pig. But I think I'm finally "getting it"-that is if PCGS sees these coins the same way I do. First of all, I am through messing with proof coins in any fashion-acetone, ms70,any kind of dip-even if they have that milky crap I despise in the fields. Most of the time, no matter… -

Re: No More Ebay
When I'm looking for a "special/legacy" piece. My first stop is DLRC and I know they sell heavy on Ebay. But buying from DLRC allows me to use my Amex and stack up some serious miles. I've received some generous discounts from them over the years on my offers. New rule.... Never discuss, politics, religion & Ebay. It works… -
Re: Strategy for ebay buying?
You need to focus on what you know most about. What your reading is that most of us hit Ebay with a list of coins we can spot a mile away even in bad pics because we know the markers or condition senses or rarity in general that adds the value or is in demand and easy to re sell. I spend about 1-2 hours day on said… -
Re: PCGS just BB'd this CBH. Guess the reason. (Answer revealed.)
Another perspective I thought I'd share... A couple of weeks ago PCGS agreed that an MS66 1917 Lincoln I sent in for a spot review needed to downgrade. We settled on a price and PCGS kept the coin. Below is the coin. Stunning in many ways. But the reverse has a scratch. A big one. Huge. Now don't you figure this Lincoln… -

I just found a non accented hair obverse with an accented hair reverse.
I thought that was pretty cool. I have handled well over 300 accented hair coins and can spot them from a mile away either from the obverse or the reverse...if you have seen a bunch, you know they have a different look altogether, so when I saw this coin from the reverse I thought for sure it was an accented hair variety,…
