My latest PCGS adventure by
Mr. Jaggers
Last year about this time I submitted an 1864 three cent silver to PCGS for
grading as a circulation strike. It came back slabbed PR61. I am 100%
convinced it is a circulation strike made from dies which had previously
made proof coins.
I wanted it graded as a circulation strike, so I cracked...

My latest Purchase *GLOAT* by
Bruce Hickmott
Greetings!
It's bragging time!
Within the Liberty 5c series, there are three key coins: 1885, 1886, and 1912-S.
The 1885 and 1886 are fairly available in low grades, but by the time you get to
XF they're decidedly tough and in Unc they're very rare indeed.
The 1912-S is a different story. There...

My mother has. by
King of Karaokie 88
My mother has a lot of Buffalo Headed Nickels, I don't I have the exact
date (I think they're in mint condition from 1905) and I was wondering
how much they're worth.
She also has, in mint conditions, lead pennies from the WW II era, and
she would like to know how much they're worth.

My new "antique slab" by
Randy Thompson
I picked this up a couple of weeks ago.
http://webpages.charter.net/thompsonrft/coin/coin_pages/1899-O.html
It looked like a good way to keep a certified coin at the time I
suppose. I don't collect Morgans but my daughter was born in 1999 so
I decided to pick up this 1899. Who knows, maybe I'll...

My new buying policy -- somewhat sarcastic post by
Michael Ng
Hi all,
My new buying policy. I have decided to "buy the coin, not the holder"
from now on.
I shall no longer purchase coins in first-tier grading slabs. I shall
go buy from fourth-tier grading services, and hope they cross over to a
first tier at the price I originally paid for the...

My new use for the GD's by
Richard L. Hall
Fares for the buses that connect with the Metro went up $0.25 in my area to
$1.00. So I had to see if the buses take the GD's. Sure enough they do!
So I did.
Living in the Washington DC area can be a bear when it comes to getting to
work, especially when you live 25 miles from where you work. ...
