Re: Graded Seated Liberty Quarters in VF
They fall into the impossible category. :p Of the "big 4" my 70-cc was straight graded but crap. 71-cc was details graded so you know it was extra crappy. 72-cc was market acceptable and not a bad coin overall (and is by far the most common of the 4). 73-cc was the only totally original one of the bunch. It probably didn't… -

I was taking a read through the new issue of the Asylum that came today. Here is a quote from the first article: "Raymond and his protege John J. Ford, then an up and coming dealer, concluded that the mysterious Breen was some kind of numismatic savant. Ford got him a job at Stack's, which lasted only a few months because… -
Re: Your first Coin Album
Whitman Lincoln folder starting 1944 from my grandfather. Back in 1961 or 1962. I still have the folder today. It shows where I scotch taped the coins into place, preventing them from falling out....

Re: The day that America's favorite sport went bust.

Keselowski always drives around the track after his wins with an American flag. And he puts his money where his mouth is too with… -
Re: What's wrong with this picture?
<< <i>Where's that reverse ghost image from!? >> I don't really see anything worth worrying about. Just for the sake of argument, let us suppose that whoever counterstamped this Trade Dollar couunterstamped many Trade Dollars. If that person was in the habit of positioning all such Trade Dollars the same, then he may have… -
Re: Michigan State Numismatic convention Nov. 14-16
This was the third fall show in a row that wasn't on Black Friday weekend. This year was two weeks beforehand. I was under the impression that it was Black Friday weekend last year until I flipped through the pages of a Greysheet issue I got literally the day before the show. I didn't go because I took my mother to get a… -
