One of our regular "out of town" customers dropped by the shop Thursday. Very nice guy, drops in about 3-4 times a year when he comes through town on business. He has a very good eye for quality and doesn't try to buy PQ better date coins on the cheap. He picked out some nice toned Morgan...

Who out there is good on coins from the Netherlands? I have a co-worker who presented me with a silver piece about the size of a Morgan dated 1932 and part of the inscription on the reverse (which I assume is the coin's value) is 2 1/2 G. This piece also has a lettered edge (pretty...

Are these sets shipping already? I thought they weren't shipping until December 8 (according to web and my receipt). I saw several that had been graded (2-3 week turnaround?) for sale on eBay. What's up? Thanks, Bill

Recently I bought two 1955 Franklins graded MS64 by PCGS. One is designated FBL, the other is not. Even better, the serial numbers are sequential, which means (I guess) that they were graded one right after the other. I've posted pictures of the Bell Lines...

It was even worse than vehicle confiscation and I think that it would sting a fair bit. Has this act ever been repealed? If not a few of us owe Phil an apology. Are Reid and Nick willing to chip in with me to buy a large humble pie?...

Many of you have sent back your sets due to the false claims by the US Mint concerning the limited production of that set. I have just got of the phone with the US Mint protesting the shipping costs both to me and returning the sets to them. They are refunding my costs for shipping both ways. ...
