Re: Anybody like Half Dimes? As in 1795?
<< <i> << <i>Half Dimes look great in large pictures, but they are so darn small when in hand. >> I agree. They are definitely a coin for younger eyes than mine. Not as bad as three cent silvers, though! Russ, NCNE >> Very true. That said...even though I am not a 1/2 dime guy...HOLY COW that coin is beyond description.… -
Re: Maybe, just maybe, I scored my second ever cameo SMS Lincoln.
<< <i>Russ, is that a planchet defect on the cheek below the eye?? >> Yep. Pretty common on these. << <i>Russ are those hairline scratches above ONE CENT on the reverse, a slight rub or just a scratch on plastic ? >> Hairlines. Also pretty common on these. The MS64CAM I just made also had both the planchet flaw in the… -
Re: Opinions on this Accented Hair Kennedy...
<< <i>That one didn't garner the designation at PCGS because of the frost fade in the cheek and jaw area. BUT, it would have gone cameo at an earlier time. I've handled many coins graded cameo that looked just like it. It would most likely grade cameo at NGC. I have several recent NGC examples that are not as contrasted.… -
Re: How Patient should a Forum Member be with another Member ?
All else aside, I agree with keets. Shipping may be slow at times, but emails and PMs still work fine. An explaination would be at the very least the courtious and appropriate thing to do. Russ said: I get PMs all the time from people telling me they don't like me - especially from Marty! To this I will just say in the… -
Re: Bad Experience with eBay
He probably filed the report stating you and him decided not to complete the trade. he's a gentleman and am sure thats what he has done. this is no reflection upon you. just ignore and let Russ get his fees back. If you don't like that, send Russ a check for the Sellers Fees. Here's how you calculate how much. 5.25% up to… -
Re: eBay cancels my auction 2 days after listing ended??
<< <i> << <i> << <i>what's to stop PayPal from automatically giving the buyer his money back? >> PayPal operates independently of eBay when it comes to auction closings. The only way they'd give the buyer his money back is if the buyer filed a claim. Russ, NCNE >> Russ, do you know if paypal can hit an attached credit card… -
Re: Largest private numismatic transaction ever just completed
<< <i><< There are plenty of multi-million dollar collections full of junk because the buyer doesn't know what he's doing. To assume that anybody with money can build a great collection is off base. It takes more than money. It takes passion, skill, and love. Russ, NCNE >> Russ, with all due respect, those Amazonians this… -
Re: Best thread/post of 2008?
Linkified... #1) Lordmarcovan's metal detecting threads were thoroughly enjoyable while they were tolerated by the mods. I enjoyed treasure hunting vicariously through Rob's tales of adventure. (I managed to link the stone holey thread here. This is not a metal detector thread. I blame society.) #2) Russ' thorough… -
Re: Yet another new grading company?
<< <i> << <i>Would you care to point out where I said they are not??? >> That's an excellent Iwogian response. You have learned well. Russ, NCNE >> No, a typical Russ response because you can't show where I said what you proposed that I said. << <i>Get real, Ken. You know damned well that these slabbers that have been… -
Re: Show off a toned Booker T. Washington or a Carver/BTW!
<< <i>I've seen this type of toning in all three of the credible TPG holders over the years, so I assumed it was good. But, Tom and BigMoose both have serious credibility with me, so I'll chalk this one up to live and learn. Russ, NCNE >> And Russ was upstanding and understanding of the cancellation. All is okay. And my…
