Re: A thread for Don Willis to discuss the SSP & BST issues with us
So... best, easiest, most cost-effective solution: status quo ante. Let things be as they were. We are kind of handicapped, not knowing what the problem is/was. How can we solve a problem none of us know exists? That's not to say we need the juicy details. But rather a testament to the fact that whatever issues there were,… -
Re: Would you buy raw from Klinger83?
I…I think it's finally over. Our reactionary emotional response seems to have stopped it dead in its tracks. If I'm right, all we have to do now is smugly reiterate our half-formed thesis and—oh, no! For the love of God, no! It's thoughtfully mulling things over! Run! Run! It's making reasonable, fact-based arguments!… -
Re: Answer This: Why did the Numismatist cross the road? - Giveaway! - WINNER ANNOUNCED IN 1ST POST
The sun had reflected off of something, something shiny. But what, perhaps an old coin he thought, The last time he saw such a glint of light like that was the day his life changed forever. When was that now, he tried hard to remember as he stayed focused on that shiny light, flickering in the afternoon sun, beckoning to… -
Official Caring Numismatists Christmas Charity & Coin Auction Thread-AKA The B00M Foundation III
For Bottom line results, go straight to Pg 4, 3rd post, after I edit it. Thanx! I was approached by several people as early as last Month (October) asking if there is going to be a "B00M Foundation III".

Post-Winter FUN Show US Type & Circulated, Crusty Canadian and Newfoundland Coinage
Note that I understand that some folks on this board will not be so familiar with my ID since I am primarily a collector and dealer in US coinage, but please realize that I am not some fly-by-night scammer. As such, inquire with anyone you may think of to determine my integrity and business practices. Lastly, I am far less… -
Long Beach--Toner Topic
First . . my collector's perception of Long Beach. I've attended 3 of them . . . usually one every two years or so. I definitely DO NOT have the long-range perspective of many others, but I do get around a little for numismatic perspective, so, for what it's worth . . . my rant. I attended with another collector looking… -
A coin grader dies and meets the Devil—As told to CalGold by the Devil himself
Met the Devil at a local show and he recounted the following story. A coin grader is busy at work when suddenly he clutches his chest, collapses and dies at his grading station. Everything goes black and then he clears his eyes and finds himself surrounded by fire and brimstone and in the presence of the Devil himself.… -
Re: It Pays To Know How To Grade......$36,000.00 Profit
Here's why I think *someone* has a cause of action. First, there are two things to keep in mind. 1. Assuming it's the same coin, PCGS gave two different grades. Note that this is not a "slider" situation -- this coin went from AU58 to MS62. 2. The 'value' of the coin is what one uncoerced person is willing to give another… -

Re: Describe your unpleasant coin show or coin shop dealer encounters.
Down on page 5 of this thread I doubt more than one or two people will ever see this, but it is an interesting take on "rude". A decade ago I was able to hit up a few Albuquerque coin shops while coaching a few decathletes at the Great Southwest Track Invitational. I had a few daytime hours and a rental car, so out I went.…
