"Buy the book, then the coin" - but which book? by
Scot Kamins
Folks,
As I've been saying in a number of posts, I'm leaving the area of US
Morgan collecting and am looking to find another collecting area. I
haven't even chosen a country or era yet!
I believe strongly in buying the book before I buy the coin. But what
book(s) do I look at to make my...

"Certified Genuine" ??? Coin Grading Service by
BEVERLY HOM
I just bought a coin off of eBay that was slabbed by some outfit called
Certified Genuine, or, at least, that was what the slab label listed.
I, of course, paid no attention to the grading, but am still curious whether
anyone has ever heard of this outfit. Alternatively, is some coin...

"Cleaning" Lincoln Cents by
Rank Amateur
I am resuming coin collecting after a very long hiatus, and I am focussing
on Lincoln cents, 1909-1958. I have heard that contaminents on the cents
(paper dust from 2x2's, etc.) may cause the cents to corrode over time. Is
that true? If that is true, is it advisable, before I place the cents...

"Coin Values" Magazine by
Richard L. Hall
I got a copy of a new magazine called Coin Values yesterday. It looks like
the people at Coin World (Amos Press) are going to compete with Coin Prices
from Krauss Publishing. The date on the magazine is May 2004 which seems
strange since it is only February. If I get time, I'll see how the...

"Coingate" - potential new slabbing opportunity for PCGS by
stonej
When the coins from the Ohio coin fund are eventually sold at
auction this can help PCGS who seems to always be looking for
new slabbing opportunities. "Coingate" could be put on the slabs
of coins from this auction and create a new pedigree of coins for
people to collect.
(smile face here).

"Collecting World Coins" versus "Standard Catalog of World Coins" by
Scot Kamins
Folks,
I note that Krause produces two books that sound similar - "Collecting
World Coins" versus "Standard Catalog of World Coins." What's the
difference? I have an edition of Standard Catalog and am wondering if
anything's to be gained by also getting a copy of Collecting.

"CSA 20 DOLLARS" coin in Super Bowl ad for movie "Sahara" by
[email protected]
There was a movie trailer for "Sahara" (not to be confused with the WW2
Bogart flick) that started out with a glimpse of the Confederate
ironclad Virginia (aka Merrimac) that faded to a shot of a "coin" which
bore the crude legend "CSA/ 20/ DOLLARS" with some ornamentation
around. I have no idea...

"Deal of a Lifetime" by
Andy
For those that get/read Coinage, check out a Dealer's ad on pages 24-25, he
has some incredible deals. He is offering a pair of Morgan dollars, 1883-S &
1884-S, in Gem/Ch BU for $999.00. According to Coinage advertising rules, a
Choice BU coin must be MS 63 and a Gem BU coin must be MS 65. Thse...

"Designer" Mint Marks by
Larry Louks
Hi Folks,
I've just rounded up four coins to give to my married son, who has recently
gotten a good case of "numismatic fever." (Though he has been exposed to
the disease for a number of years, he has only recently shown undeniable
evidence that he is now fully infected.)
These four coins are...

"Disappearing" errors on EBay - fake ? by
Mike
I don't know about you folks, but when I look at this auction on Ebay,
it sure appears to me that the seller simply edited the pictures to
make the coins look like errors. Look very closely at them. It
appears as if somebody took a black marker and blacked out some of the
areas the seller states...

"Early" Seated Dollars by

Had a fellow come into the coin shop yesterday and ask to see some "early
Seated dollars." I said yes sir, I've got this 1840, this 1843, this 1845 and
this 1846. The guy scowls and says "No, I want some EARLY ones, from the
1790's!!!"

"Ebay Auction" by

What possesses people to put up auctions like this? Are there really that
many stupid people out there who would pay $18.00 for a coin worth 50 to 75
cents?

"Euro errors" or interrupted process? by
Scot Kamins
Folks,
The auction of this "euro error" raised a question in my mind:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3903529438
The "error" is a blank plachet in a blank outer ring. Here's another of
the same type, except the outer ring got...

Just to clear up a general misunderstanding, the so-called "extra

the Redbook, except as a footnote in the state quarter section. In
response to a direct question as to whether or not he intended to list
them, Editor Ken Bressett...

"FAKE" Cud On eBay by

Here is the Item#3913308586 for yet another fake (altered) so-called Cud error

others may convince her otherwise.
