Re: Question about selling unopen mint boxes
<< <i>IMO the big problem is if you get coins from the mint delivered to your home, but sell unopened boxes using a PO box or store address. An unscrupulous buyer would then be in possession of a collectors address. I'm unaware of any known cases of this is happening, but I'd hate to be the first. >> Don't they ALREADY… -
Re: Have/would you buy a coin net graded for cleaning?
The unspoken truth has already been stated--that PCGS and NGC holder certain coins and net them out. This is more common for tough dates than common dates. The term is "market acceptable." Estimates vary on the percentage of coins that have had "a light dip." For early silver type, anything white may have been given a… -
Re: Slab Protective Sleeves?
Do you remember the sleeves of some type of shrinking plastic you could put on easter eggs? It slipped on the egg, and then just a little heat shrunk it tight. In my old trade in the bindery biz we had a shrink wrapper, which just had a roll of half folded plastic, and then a nichrome wire on an angle flipper that sealed… -
Re: motel buyers in the area
$10k a week to go around as a buyer?! I'll TAKE IT!! I'm unemployed! What do I have to put out up-front to get in on that or as part of my travels? Here's a question related to this thread...... I'm a very small-time collector filling holes in Whitman blue folders. I just received about a 1/2-dozen Morgan & Peace $1's from… -
My Albuquerque Fall Coin Show Friday Report and Newp (Show still in Progress)
After having lived in Washington DC for 3 years, I believe I was mislead to the access to shows in other parts of the country. And in fact since moving from Washington DC to El Paso, I have in fact attended 2 shows (a short stint in Afghanistan didn't help). With the encouragement from the wife, I decided to head up for… -
Re: Everyone should know how to dip coins.
<< <i>Wow Stman you are good! You got me! I don't do it anymore though. I haven't cherry picked any SBAs in over a year. And I'm not sure getting off the haze is the same as dipping. The jewel-luster strips off a layer of silver, MS70 is merely a soapy industrial cleaner. It doesn't effect the coins metallic surfaces and… -
Re: Rookie Collectors Only... no dealers or customers
Twowood, I actually meant to avoid collecting Peace Dollars in jest. Although I am going to agree that grading Morgan's is easier (on paper) because in my opinion, there are more aspects to grading it. I say on paper because I have found myself getting more familiar with the Peace Dollar than I have with the Morgan and as… -

Re: If PCGS guarantees a coins grade how can it drop 2 points as a result of a simple spot review?
The final outcome IS....DH gave me his word to either replace the coin or compensate me for my loss. I thanked him for him taking the time to actually speak with me and let him know that all I want is what I thought I had purchased....a problem free, PCGS 65 1935-S Quarter. His word is good enough for me as I have no… -
