Re: OT: Lost my fishing buddy yesterday ...
Sorry to hear that, Gene. Losing my father is not a passage I am looking forward to making. My dad will be 74 this year and takes pretty good care of himself, so he's probably got a few miles left in him. I don't have anything "fishy" on hand, but here's one of the great rarities of Irish coinage: the 1943 florin. Nearly… -
Re: When you fly to a coin show, how do you travel safely with coins and currency?
Mostly use common sense. Assume that anything in your checked luggage is already lost. Never put ANYTHING valuable there. Cherrypicking has an entirely different meaning to luggage handlers. When you go through security, little metal disks stacked up just so in a little plastic box will often prompt a search. Ask to do… -
Re: New Wohlforth Pedigreed proof Jefferson Nickels
Thanks for the comments! I like the cameo look so much I doubt I'd try for a brilliant Jeff set, though I am tempted by rainbow colored Jeffs. I also started looking at the Cherrypickers guide and have actually bought one double die. I will always look for a way to cheaply upgrade my set --- so don't expect to see many/any… -
Re: A Bizarre Coin Situation - Need Advice (9/19/11 Update in OP)
1. Many dealers are stretched in many directions as they try to do too much with not enough help and things in the coin business can take longer than we are becoming accustomed to. Not saying it is OK to drag on a year but if you add the normal slowness of the coin business to the security requirements (many dealers have… -

Re: To Joe Orlando. The big 3 questions what people want an answer for ?
<< <i>1 - Are the flips changing? 2 - If no, then will there be a zero after a whole grade? EX. 8.0 instead of 8 3 - Why no 9.5 grade ? This does not make sence to most of us. Especially newer cards after 1972. If you are going to have half grades that is fine with me. I was in favour for them years ago. But to say no 9.5… -
Re: Dealing: whats the BEST strategy?
Hi OnlyBuffalos. Thank you for the terrific thoughts. I agree with you that grading skills are key (whether collecting or trading). My grading skills in certain series (Seated for example) are up to task. Unfortunately, my grading skills on buffalos, Lib Nickels and certain other series are not as good. Do you think Seated… -

Midlands Coin Show report
Debated driving the almost 200 miles to a small club show. I've never done well at shows. It's in Columbia S.C. When the wife told me we were invited to a Kentucky Derby Party... decision was a simple "gots to go situation" 30 Tables occupied by a few dealers I have seen at other shows around the state. Looked like some…
