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… -

Re: Texas Detecting
This should keep you busy as if the 26 miles of beach wouldn;t. Have fun! According to some documents from the Spanish Archives, Westerners first walked the shores of Padre Island around 1519 when Spanish Explorer Alonso Alvarez de Pineda surveyed the area as he charted the Gulf of Mexico for Spain . Padre Island first… -
Re: How important is the ability to find coins of value in change for the hobby?
I was thinking about this for the last few days. The push to go cashless will no doubt hurt our hobby. Many people carry only plastic, no cash or coins. I have been around for 75 years so this ole goat never leaves the house with less than a C note. The way things are taxed will still keep change around for many years I… -
Re: The "stipulations" coin show report
Did you see any money change hands? Very little, and what I did see was for certified coins, nothing really in the bullion arena. The next show I'm going to next Sunday is a suburb of Chicago and I guarantee those asking prices will be even higher than these reported that were at a show in IN 35 miles S.E. of Chicago. It's… -
Re: Roll of 2014 ASES - $350 shipped
it's all a moot point .. I agree to disagree .. And I am not taking anyone's side - I have no greyhound .. All I am saying is one never knows what people are thinking or their motivation or thought process when it comes to transacting .. Some people may come here first; some people may never come here .. he may be 50 miles…
