Hey guys, I wrote a post on the wheresgeorge.com website about thinking Crane might support issuing new $200, $500, and possibly $1,000 bills, and a person responded that they might not like it because they would be printing less $100 bills if they were printing $1,000 bills. Could this be true? I...

I'm back from the PAN show, and instead of using an image my wife sent me that I uploaded into an eBay auction using my laptop at the hotel, I took new photos of the coin and have re-listed the ad. Can you folks all see the coin now? Lots of large iamges in this Andale hosted auction...

Given that NGC is in one of their picky modes, does it make any sense to submit to them rather than PCGS right now? I mean, if NGC is going to be as picky as PCGS, but the market still pays more for PCGS, why should I send anything to NGC (other than the fact that they still owe me four...

This is without question the finest RB of this date I have ecers seen, much less purchased for resale. You can see it at: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=39456&item=2198960442 Most MS64RDs are quite spotty and streaky and this has better eye appeal than most of these in...

Somehow along the way, I acquired 3 sheets of silver quarters. These are all late 40s and early 50s in 2X2s, 20 to a sheet. Most look to grade g to vf. I think of them as older junk silver, but they take up a lot of space this way and I don't want to open up the holders and put them in a roll as...

I just came across a 1954 penny that is hollow on the wheat side. It is stamped (recessed) to the size of a dime. Anyone else ever see anything like it. dave

I've never made a recommendation like this before, but I'd like to put in a plug for Yahoo seller J40D60. She is a wonderful seller of RAW coins but, being on Yahoo, she doesn't get the kind of bidding activity she deserves. I picked this little beauty up from...

I have auctions for 39 different modern commemoratives ending tonight. All are PCGS certified MS69 or PR69DCAM. I'm not a dealer - just an individual collector - and purchased these very selectively for my personal collection. My interest has shifted to other series, so I'm selling these. If...

Also ending tonight are my auctions for a complete set of JFK halves (126 coins) and a set of Washington quarters, complete from 1959-1998, both in deluxe Dansco albums. Both sets include all silver proofs, the 1979-s type 2, and the 1965-67 SMS coins. All coins in these sets were recently taken...

Gosh, Bob, that seems a little harsh. I'll keep that in mind the next time I feel the urge to bid on one of your auctions. But then, you'll not see this post will you? Not everyone on webtv is an idiot, just like not everyone on aol is an idiot, etc etc.

I received my two-set roll of Arkansas quarters on Oct. 25 after ordering Oct. 22. Superb service. The design of the quarter is fair to middlin'. The design is trying to do too much and results in a montage of clutter. I notice the mint jacked up the shipping fee to $ 4.95. I guess I would...

Just got my first Ira coin and am extremely satisfied. Bought a 1854 3 cent silver graded PCGS MS63. The coin is well struck and beautiful. Thanks Ira.

Hello, We found a gold penny amongst our change the other day, and were curious what the commonness of that is? Perhaps this penny is just electroplated? How does one tell? Just curious about this interesting little coin. It is dated the year 2000, and appears quite new. Thanks. -G

I don't know if this has been discussed before, but is there a flaw in some quarter proof sets of those years. I inspected some of the sets I purchased (the whole proof set, not just the quarters) and notice that there is no seal on the quarters half of the set. They are fogged. Yet some of the...

I just listed a couple Choice to Gem BU examples of this interesting and rare variety up for sale on ebay. They'll close next weekend. Please take a look at: http://tinyurl.com/sf9m I have a couple more available for direct sale. Email me if you are interested. Ray
