I asked a couple questions last week about some half dollars I have. It was suggested I post a picture. I did the best I can, but I guess I need a better camera! 1) 1830 half dollar http://www.frontiernet.net/~toller/1830.jpg The lettering is the same size as my 1821 and conspicuously larger...

Suppose you saw a fairly new eBay coin auction and it had one bidder for the auction and the auction is not in the mainstream for most coin collectors. So you place a bid as a place marker and didn't get the high bid (I wasn't trying to). Suppose then out of curiosity you examine the other bidders...

Buffalo nickel. Just now found in the penny slot in the register. A teen employee gave it to me, said "that's not a penny" He was right. mk

I have not seen this one before, and it is not on Reid's list of counterfeits: http://cgi.ebay.com/1795-Draped-Bust-1-Silver-Dollar-beautiful-AU_W0QQitemZ8393707091 I find it pretty convincing. It even has edge lettering. Most of the denticles go out to the edge. Look at the identical trade...

I guess I am looking for some easy answers here. I live in Europe where slabs are certainly not unheard-of, yet still rather uncommon. However, I am American, and eventually my collection will probably need to be sold by my heirs who live in the U.S. and know nothing about grading. I probably won't...

I relisted the 3 auctions that didn't sell last weekend. I dropped the prices of all the auctions to $0.99 Starting Prices, based on advice of a couple RCCers. We'll see what happens with that strategy. 10 Indian Cents - 1880s G-4 to VG-8 1916-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar AG-3 1917-S Walking...

Just wondering if someone can give me any info on the new State Quarter errors? What would the value of such new quarters with errors be? Example: Nevada-P with 'mermaid tail' error, or any die breaks. Is the 'mermaid tail' considered a die break? Obviously, I am new to errors, and am wondering if...

OK, I thought when Napolean conquered Europe the franc was set in gold and silver content and the system was the same all over Europe. I understand that there is some relationship between the 8 escudo and and the 8 Reale. The 8 reale has similar silver content to the US dollar. Can someone...

What a rip off.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8393691937 Mike

Can somebody tell me where I can find a coin dealer in Metro Manila? I'm trying to get rid of my duplicate olympic coin sets. Please refer me to a certified dealer who isn't kuripot. Thanks.

OK, the contest is over.... One small problem. I'm at Disneyland with the family and won't be able to figure out the winner until I get home Weds. night. Stay tuned! Wes

Recently I was high bidder on what was described as a 1936 US PROOF TRIBUTE SET. Further research proved, after I had bid on the item assuming it was a real 1936 Proof Set, that it was not. Accorind to the Hobby Protection Act, such sets must be marked by "copy" or "replica". I do not believe this...

Hello all. I was fortunate enough to contact Edward Kohout about his offer on geting some Ikes. He sent me a bunch that I asked for and I found some really nice specimens. My dealings with Edward Kohout were very good and no problems with communications. As far as I know he is a good person and...

I'm cleaning out my safe today and found these three plus some Buffalo nickels, the best of which was an AU 1925. Anyhow, I'm starting this under under Graysheet wholesale with no reserve. Beautiful color and unmolested. John Carney will tell you how DIFFICULT it is to find EF or AU Lincoln cents,...

For those of you collecting these coins, the 2006 coin is here, a bit darker than in the pictures in the brochure and with a rather "golden" color than the advertised yellow. I have posted scannings, enjoy! -- E' mai possibile, oh porco di un cane, che le avventure in codesto reame debban...
