    That's a nice collection of books. If you don't mind selling just some, rather than the entire set at once, we may can deal. Doesn't the Post Office have some boxes that are "all-you-can-fit-in-it-regardless-of-weight-for-one-price" ? I don't mind paying to have them shipped.

    I did a quick search of Vamworld and Variety Vista, and did not find anything that matches, so I don't think it is a known variety. I think Jonathan is probably right - filled "O" mint mark. Would you mind showing a picture of the obverse side?

    I don't think it was a necklace. Judging by the position and condition of the hole and the wear on both sides, I am thinking either watch fob, or keychain.

    I'm not sure I would call that "GEM." I'm not even sure I would call it "UNC." Looks like it has a bit of rub on the high points on both sides.
    As for the missing letters, that could be a struck-through.

    I don't think I agree. Maybe with "seasoned"collectors this is true, but given the number of new /novice collectors, and the huge amounts of advertising and marketing in the coin world, plus the number of people who buy coins strictly as an investment, I would think that the percentage of buyers whose primary criterion for purchase is selling price would be over 50%.
    But, I have been wrong before.

    In 1918, Miss Ophelia Fox opened a cigar store in the lobby of the Carrol Hotel in Vicksburg, MS, at the age of 48. Ten years later, she married H.J Lesser, and continued to run the store for two more years. Unfortunately, after waiting almost 60 years to wed, she passed away in 1937, after only 9 years of marriage.
    I posted a black and white picture of the hotel in an earlier post. Here is a colorized version:

    My sister, stepdaughter, and one of my neighbors all have chickens, so they usually keep us in eggs, but if they are out, we buy from some other local farmers. Fresh farm eggs usually go from $1.50 to $3 a dozen. The advantage, besides being chemical/antibiotic free, is that they will last a month just sitting on the counter - if you don't wash them until you get ready to use them.
    To be honest ,I haven't bought eggs from the store in so long I wasn't sure what they were selling for, so I stopped by the local grocery store this morning. Large eggs ranged from $1.69 for the store brand to $4.19 for organic.
    I checked potatoes while I was there. Russets were 5 lbs/$3.69,and 5 lb bags of reds were $2.50.

    The main obverse die marker for a 1909 Matte Proof is raised, parallel die lines in front of Lincoln's nose, extending down to a point even with his lips. I think there are markers for the reverse, too, but I don't remember them. Shouldn't be too hard to find that information online.
    Regardless, I don't think yours are proofs. Nice coins, though.

    In order to avoid confusion, it's better to start a new thread for each coin you would like to discuss. Posting your coin on someone else's thread makes it harder to figure out which coin is being talked about

    It would be helpful to me if you would cite specific examples. What coins did you submit to NGC, only to have them returned as ineligible? What National Park and Smithsonian coins are you talking about? Which pieces from National, International, and Private mints? What "major grading and pricing guides" are you referring to?
