Looking at my Wright Brothers uncirculated gold $10 coin, I noticed a small "divot" on the reverse, next to the top serif of the "C" in America. Anybody else have this? I also noticed four small "spots" between America and the flyer on that same side. Not super bad spots, but bad enough to...

I am wondering if anyone has had any experience with a German dealer by the name of SCHÖN-BUCHVERSAND. Their website is www.nomisma.com. Any comments will be appreciated. regards mark sharfman

I'm planning on going to the Rockford coin show this Sunday, and I was thinking of liquidating my VG-ish 14-D Lincoln cent. Are there any ettiquite issues regarding selling to or trading with a dealer at a show? What should I expect to get for a raw coin like this? All indications are that it is...

It appears to me that Heritage has made some changes in the way they run auctions. I bid on several coins where I was outbid by substantial amounts. Today, after the auction has closed, those coins show up on Heritage's web page with the following message. ---- Post-Auction Bargains for Direct...

I was gunning for this coin: http://apps.heritagecoin.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=330&Lot_No=7580 I put in what I considered a very generous bid -- but was quickly trounced! What's the deal? Well, I didn't really want it anyway (sour grapes).... -- Bob

A little schadenfreude(*) never hurt anyone, right? Take a look at this coin: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3045957915 This is a Goodacre presentation dollar that's been crossed to PCGS. In an ICG holder, these things usually sell for $200-$400. The PCGS MS69's have gone...

Well, I've seen lots of coin contests here, and entered a few, though I haven't won anything. But, I figured I'd hold a contest of my own. This one's a little OT, so you'll have to put on a different thinking hat! This might not be your area of expertise, but you seem to be a very creative and...

At tonites Rockford Coin Club meeting each member received a ribbon from the first Illinois Numismatic Association convention held in Rockford in 1960. A former president of the club had them in his basement and his widow has been going through his stuff since he passed on and thought we would...

I've got some older albums (Library of Coins) and holders (Capital Plastics "comet" holders) that are from the 50's and 60's. For historical and sentimental reasons, I'd like to put some BU coins in some of them, including Lincoln cents. Is there any way to neutralize or seal the cardboard around...

The Sunday Chicago Tribune had a story about a new scam out of Nigeria that has a much better chance of tricking people than the usual multi-million dollar scheme. In the example given, the con man orders merchandise worth $1500, and says that because it is difficult to send money out of his...

Okay, I know nobody can tell somebody else what they should be collecting. But here's the thing: I've finished my 20th century type set as good as I'll ever get it. (Not everything's BU, but it's close enough.) I've got a wild and unmanageable collection of a little of everything else that I...

I called NGC and asked them how long before their new multi-holder was available. The nice lady said the end of the year, or maybe into early next year. They still didn't know what their pricing, configurations, re-slab issues, etc would be. She did say that they did a bunch for Shop At Home, to...
