Re: Anyone up for some Roosie Talk? - Thread #7
Danny, Love the comments made here, but they'll fall on deaf ears. We spoke about getting new weights to all Roosevelt Dimes a few years back if memory serves and nothing happened. Heck have you looked at the pop report lately? It to me is in shambles from about 2000-Date. That's an easy fix. As far as weights are… -
Re: Weekend ending June 24, 2012: Frantically trying to stay ahead of PPC!
<< <i>I'm curious. What type of location is it that you are hunting? Is it an old field? A yard from an old house? Are you finding lots of distracting junk metal beeps in & around the good stuff? I've been getting frustrated lately with field vegetation making it tough to sweep and lot's of scrap junk taking away from… -
Re: How many of us Do Not have a perfect coin?
<< <i> In my humble opinion, I totally agree with Karl. The difference between "69" and "70" is EXTREMELY slight at best, non-existant at worst. I believe the whole "70" thing will fade away with time. It is a fabricated grade, created by the ego driven Modern Registry. Just my opinion, which isn't worth much... >> And… -
Re: Telephone call to the Secret Service just now was sure uplifting....
I don't want this thread to begin to read like a dry legal textbook so I will keep my comments short. * The possession of counterfeit coins is lawful unless there is an intent to defraud. There are collectors that seek out and collect counterfeit coins, and this is perfectly legitimate and legal. For instance, the NORFED… -
Re: Who, here, REALLY wants to know.......?
I mainly goof off most of the time I`m here. I`ve been here 4 months now and I`m sure by now some people here already know that. It irks some and others don`t seem to mind and others don`t care. Essentially I do like to collect coins and I stated clearily when I first came here that I`m not the most knowledgible one around… -
Re: Why did the mint change the size and fineness of bust quarters?
<< <i>Why did the size change? >> It was a reflection of a change in technology. In 1831 the mint started to use the closed collar to strike quarters. As is done with today's reeded edge coins, the planchet was placed in a closed collar and the obverse, reverse and reeded edge were impressed on the coin with one blow from… -

Re: Show Report - Denver Coin Expo, October 11-13, Day 3 now posted
Day 3: Well, no Day 2 (Friday) for me. I had several chores to do around the house to prepare for an early hard freeze and snow this weekend. Day 3, Saturday, was a delightful fall day here in northern Colorado. Driving down to Denver featured snow covered mountains in the west and a bright sunrise to the east. Almost too… -
Re: Vintage Wax Investment Potential
'56 baseball is just about impossible- Steve Hart told me he had a list of buyers for that pack, but it had been a long time since he'd seen a legit one. If you could find one at a decent price (less than $10k) you would certainly make a profit on it. '53 packs are out there- Mastro had a bunch a few years ago. '58 is… -
Re: Is asking an authorized dealer to submit coins for you asking for a favor?
Originally posted by: wondercoin Interesting to think about from the other side ... What is the plan if the collector goes bankrupt while the dealer has the coins and the collector asks for the coins back, or his bankruptcy trustee asks for them back at the same time the collector does? What is the plan if the collector…
