My largest submission yet
I like to think I did very well for all raw coins. Ive been very picky lately since I started working for a coin dealer. I have not purchased one coin from him yet, but do have my eyes on a very nice 1913 S AU53 Raw Barber Dime for my set. The Chinese Dollars I had picked up to flip and was surprised to see one come back… -
Re: HOF Order numbers, time of order, and mix of HOF's thread...Updated Pops Report inside
<< <i>I hope they learn a lesson from all those cancelled sales. Do it right the first time and all those coins would have been delivered already and all the buyers would be happy. I'm glad I was one of those that cancelled a bunch of orders. >> Seriously? What lesson do you think the mint will learn from your (and… -

Re: Are "rare" coins even more rare than we realize?
OK, I am looking for an 18XX MS64 50c. Pop says there are 11 out there, I say maybe more like 3-4 in PCGS. I have seen one NGC in 4 years. DaveG: Do you really think specialists trade among themselves? Maybe on low end stuff but when you have $5k+ tied up in a coin you want mx value that an auction can provide. DHEath:… -

Re: Look who came home for a visit … WARNING; lots of pic’s
Thanks for all the great comments It was fun to have them all home at once and get a chance to take some decent pictures of them. Now I can enjoy them a little more often. I just came home for a late lunch, but to answer a few of the questions ... Yes, I took the pictures ... Most of the coins are raw. Of the slabbed… -
Re: OK, Enough with the mercs, Who is in the Morgan registries?
I've got 11 slabbed ones I am thinking about registering. I haven't even been over to the registries in a while to see what is new. What would eleven put it at about 1/10th completed?? I am waiting for some (5) to get to pcgs right now, but I don't expect anything real exciting, just a few harder 63's and 64's I had raw… -
Re: 1909-O $5 Indian crossover to PCGS or not?
Had an AU set of these, except the big two, sold the 08-s on the bay not too long ago, and a beautiful rose colored 11-d, that I sold to tom reynolds at long beach a few years ago. Funny, I went to tom to sell my half cents, he ended up buying almost everything I had. I have to say, he was the best "dealer" I have ever… -
Re: What was your best Raw Coin Purchase
I've been fortunate to have several great raw coin purchases... along with a few very bad ones of course too... My best is probably a 1943-S Mercury Dime that was on the bid board of a local coin shop one week. The tag said beautiful toning and UNC. The coin was in an old and obviously reused dirty flip so it was hard to… -
CW Test of grading services: Waste of time and effort?
This week's CW reports on a blind test of 8 grading services. Fifteen different coins were submitted to each service over the course of the past year. Unfortunately, it appears that an astonishing number of coins submitted, 11 of the 15, were mishandled, whizzed, or cleaned in one way or another, while the none of the…
