Re: Can you tell me what is the oldest proof coin designated as Cameo and Deep Cameo by PCGS?
There was an 1836/1836 O-108 50c proof in the last Stacks-Bowers sale which was PCGS PR64CAM. In 1988 MrGadzooka and I owned the Garrett 1821 $2 1/2 proof that disappeared from the pop report sometime before 1998. It was not the Loewinger coin from a few years ago's FUN Platinum Night. I am sure both would grade CAM, The… -
Re: What the Arkansas commem is really supposed to look like
This "ANA approved" hot vs. cold points presented by IWOG to prove original mint made luster on a coin was intriguing. It was never mentioned in any of the earlier ANA grading guides that I owned. And until yesterday, I had never run across "hot-cold reference" in 50 years of grading coins. Not one other dealer, collector,… -

Re: UPDATED: Charmy's 2011 HOUSTON MONEY SHOW Report w/lots of Pics!
Part 2: Let me start by saying that I feel completely safe here at the convention center. Security is quite prominent, and the show people take security very serious. Most dealers who travel a lot have learned to always be diligent, but there is only so much we have control over when it comes to thieves. In any event,… -
Re: Mint set survival.
<< <i>cladking, My question is a bit off topic, but how do you feel about 1970's mint sets in the flimsy cellophane mint packages? I notice that several of my coins from this period have a milky film on the coins that is not exactly attractive. Do you recommend removing ALL coins form these packages and placing them in… -

Re: Deciding between Canon S2 and Sony H2
If price is the concern, for me it wasn't. Here are the differences.---my opinion between these--- * 6 Megapixels (S2 has 5)--- No big deal 20% but helps-- * Sensitivity up to ISO 800* (S2 up to ISO 400) --800 works but nothing to write home about-- * Dark, gunmetal gray camera body (S2 is light gray)-- personal pref--- *… -

Re: I really thought we were passed this level....
Wondo's silks are sweet! Of course they don't sell well and I'll never get my money out of it.... But thanks anyway John. Truthfully those silks are exceptional and if your favorite sport from your favorite college is shown you will likely wait at least 5-10 years before you find one as nice. If he has a big silk of your… -
Re: Apmex screwed me anyway
I will say this and I consider it a positive. The email I posted above was sent to me after my very first call to report the error. It was before I posted here. When I spoke to that person they had no clue what Ebay bucks even was. And he admitted so. So he had no idea of what the ramifications were. And as such he offered…
