Re: thenavarro's US Presidential Collection (working on the run)
Thanks guys. I stay pretty busy so I don't check in here nearly as often as I should. Got a pretty sweet pickup Thursday. A 1938 document filled out and signed by Richard Milhous Nixon. Cost me about 10x what a run of the mill Nixon should cost but I consider it a relative bargain since it is a full name sig. VERY tough to… -
Re: Activities that pull you away from coins
<< <i>A friend of mine who is a boater says that the best moment of a boater's life is when he buys his first boat. He said the second best moment is when he sells that boat. >> The funny thing is, I've never heard a dedicated boater say that, except in jest. The more you get into it, learn about it and become proficient… -
Re: If You Like Metal Detecting and Golf....
I used to "fish" for golf balls too. When I was a kid me and my delinquent friends would hide in the woods next to the green at our local golf course and wait for a group to hit their balls. When they started walking towards us they would go down into a dip so they were out of the line of site and we would run out and grab… -
Re: From coins to classic cars: Which investments have really paid off?
I have done it all wrong, the only bright spot was I bought a Buick grand national in 1990 and drove it 175,000 miles and soldout last year for double what I paid for it. I have a 79 corvette andI I will never see it do a thing and I bought it 20 years ago for cents on the dollar. I passed on a BuickGNX for 23k 15 years… -
Re: For those of you that have completed series...
I'm backwards. With my lincoln cents I have just your run of the mill coins in the majority of the spots, but for the keys I bought certified, higher end coins. My 1909-S VDB is an MS62bn, my 1931-S is MS65RB my 1914-D is F15 (Which is actually higher in grade than most of my early lincolns.) and the 1909-S is VF35...the… -
Re: I believe, that for better or worse, the ANA Show in L.A.
No one show determines the market's future. It just defines the present. From my perspective, I think this summer's ANA will be well attended by dealers and collectors from around the world. This event will show case the best selection of numismatic material for the year. There will be many dealers who have a very… -
Re: Breaking even?
What a coincidence. A different dealer (1000 miles from the first guy) just ran this: . "Just got a call on (6) 1000 bars. Wanted us to match the majors and didn't want to wait 3 weeks for the loot. And didn't wanna pay the shipping either. Little do those folks know the P.O. won't take anything over 70 lbs and if you use… -

<< <i> << <i> << <i>I guess they don't consider those tiny little dents at 6 o'clock on the rim huh? >> I see a larger rim dent directly below the right side of the "3" in 2003! >> Yeah!

Re: 1968 Topps Populations - The Exception Or The Rule???
I believe that Griffins and Mick nailed this one. In the last catalog when Fritsch was selling runs by series for most of the series for 68 BB on up but not all. I the twenty years or so that I have gotten his catalogs, I never remember that offer ever being made for ANY year earlier than that. I have always understood he…
