Re: Here is the possible new Bust quarter die marriage.
I think we first need to define what a new die marriage is versus a die re-marriage. A new die marriage would be: 1. A known obverse or reverse die paired with an obverse or reverse die that it is not normally paired with. 2. A totally new and unknown obverse or reverse die paired with a known obverse or reverse die. 3. A… -
Re: What Recession? This Unsigned Modern Raw Card is selling above the norm..
I don't think there is a large contingent of kids in high school or college waiting to enter the hobby. They did not collect when they were younger, so I don't see why they would start collecting after they get older. I started collecting in 1980 and for most of the 1980's, the hobby grew. It started to fall off in the… -

@mr1874 "A slab shot with a cert # would be a nice touch." ;) If you read my above post you will see the image came from CoinFacts and PCGS doesn't do full slab shots. I do not own this coin so it is impossible for me to post a slab shot. The cert# is 25112629 and it can be found here. https://www.pcgs.com/cert/25112629… -
Re: 1974-D Aluminum Lincoln Cent
Sounds like another back-door stolen coin to me. I like how it was "the graveyard shift when they were stamped (minted)" and how "My father, Harry Edmond Lawrence, was Deputy Superintendent of the Denver Mint when the aluminum cent was struck. When he died in 1980, that coin and others he received over the years were in a… -
Re: Gold Kennedy minted to demand (Now 75,000 Limit) - Where does it go from here ?
The mint doesn't need to cater to speculators , that isn't its mission if they can sell a million then make a million. >> They aren't selling much when the returns are higher than sales. If I was running the Mint I think that I would cut them off when the average of 3 weeks of sales fall below a certain level. Otherwise,… -
Re: Murphy's 2006 Cent DDO
It's been suggested that after hubbing it was inspected and found lacking where it was returned to the die press for another "squeeze". Why it was so far out of alignment, I dunno. I thought they used guide pins or something. Maybe the guides were removed for some reason. I dunno that much about how they make them. One… -
Re: Tightest window for a card to have been autographed?
I’m sure other collectors here could confirm it but I doubt 1977 Topps would have been released that early in the year making a signed ‘77 Frisella impossible. It reminds me of of an auto I’ve seen of former Chiefs running back Joe Delaney on a 1983 Topps football card. Delaney died on June 29, 1983. When did Topps… -

Re: Question on colonial grading...
Hi All, Famed colonial coin dealer Richard Picker was said to have never have graded a coin, he simply put a price on it's white envelope. That was what he thought it was worth, his customers could figure out the grade. And by the way jessecarlk, as I said, beauty is in the eye of the beholder...but as I am sure you know,… -
Re: What should I tell my nephew?
Well, this phenomenon is seen in autographs. It is called "remorse buying" - this term specifically used to describe the sudden increase in value of a celebrity autograph when he/she dies. The term when they are notorious and alive - I forget. But, the point is, such an autographs will reach a temporary new high in value…
