OK, I signed up for the Littleton Coins of the World program. *Ducks* Yeah, I know a little overpriced, but I figure they can serve my needs the best at this point. Anyway, got my first two coins in. Two Silver Eagles (2000 and 2001). What I like is the encapulation/showpaks they use. Does anyone...

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer! Announcing the recent addition of new products to the Airtite product line: Velvet boxes, cherry boxes and paper boxes for both proof sets (in the original mint proof set cases) and 2x2 snap lock holders. Upcoiming additions - velvet, cherry boxes and...

Even Athenians could not always tell local issues from foreign copies. In 375 BCE the Assembly authorized an inspector to work in Athens and/or his slave to work at the Piraeus. If a dispute was over a sum more than 10 drachms, the merchant and the customer were to bring the coin to the...

In article , steve norton spoke thusly... Anyone heard from Larry Calder? Just curious how his triple bypass went. I have not but, IIRC, the operation was supposed to be last Monday and he was expcting to be in for 10 days or more. -- Stu Miller Read about...

Yees, NGC. Looks like a high end AU-50 with a shot at AU-53. Sure looked a heck of a lot better than The PCGS AU50 example that sold at one of the ANA auctions to a well known Lincoln Cent dealer! 5 days only! See it...

ok, I got my four coins back today from PCGS (free grading for the B&M $25 sign up deal) 1878-CC AU-50 1884-CC MS-62 1891-CC MS-62 1890-CC cleaned so my question to the group is, when I sell the 1890-CC on eBay, am I under an ethical obligation to state that it came back from PCGS as...

After much frustration dealing with a few auction houses, I have decided to liquidate a large modern U.S. pattern collection on EBay. I will also be running a preview site and an ad in coin world. If you have any post-1964 patterns or coin proposal exonumia I would be happy to include it. This...

I must apologize to the group for using profanity in a post to Linda. I know for the most part *we* keep it clean here, but I lost it for a moment. Sorry, Ed

If you wish to make a reservation, please email for info and to reserve. Thanks, see you there. Judith

I did this with the One and Five Embers so I thought I would put one up for the X Embers too. http://www.thestujoecollection.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1180 -- Stu Miller Read about Coins in the News: http://www.TheStujoeCollection.com/news.htm

I got a catalog yesterday from the American Coin and Stamp Brokerage, Inc. While looking through, I happened upon the Jefeson nickels section. And, lo and behold, what did I find, but a 2000-S Proof-69 Frosted White CAMEO, slabbed by none-other than ACG....$35.00 Some other fine ACG coins...

The San Jose Coin Club newsletter announced this month the recent passing of noted half cent collector (and my long-time friend) Bill Weber: "It is with regret that I advise the membership of the death of Past President William R. (Bill) Weber, in Scottsdale, AZ on 23 June 2003. Bill was born in...

I had looked carefully through all my raw coins and selected a nice specimen for submission to PCGS. I see on their status page that the coin was graded as CLEANED. What I need to know, is how can I tell if a coin is cleaned? I had selected this one for grading because of it's untouched surfaces...

I Would NEVER Clean coins. Not with soap or anything. If one of my coins had something on it, I would probably replace it or send it to NCS(Numismatic Conservation Service). Blue Ribbon touts itself as a coin CONDITIONER. It leaves NO residue and removes stuff on the surface that may otherwise...

Many thanks for looking! This is my second and last "color" coin and the auction ends Saturday evening. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3038539001 Best wishes Julia

I know there is a three hour spread on times in the USA, and that there are buyers overseas, but when a seller puts an auction up for bid, do they not have control over when it ends? I see many that I would like to bid on that end after midnight. It's tough to keep an eye on a bid when you are...

I just left the second negative feedback I've ever left in 8 years on Ebay. Bought two 2-lb bags of "unsearched" wheats. EACH bag had EXACTLY 30, near-cull or cull coins under 1930 dates, exactly 2 steel cents, and the rest were ALL common date 30's, 40's, 50's, not a SINGLE error of any kind,...

So, I have been lurking on the PCGS board to get a feel for it. I see many references, and some pics too, of accented hair kennedy halves. I have tried, for the last couple of days, to register for the forums so I could post my question there, but, I still don't have access, so, I am posting here...
