  1. I believe that the true collectors out there will educate themselves and try to acquire knowledge through books and other means of information as well. I think there are more true collectors than people think. They are just being overshadowed by the bombardment of treasure hunters looking for “the big score” and not worried about actually educating themselves.
  2. Thank you sir. My collection has branched out all over the place here lately. I just pick up what appeals to me. There is no rhyme or reason anymore.
  3. I have had my eye on this coin for a while. Some of the best seller pics on the bay in my opinion.
  4. Just picked these up today from one of my favorite sellers. The coins are always better in hand. I have never been disappointed with any purchase from them.
  5. Absolutely beautiful. Looks like she is on fire. Congrats on this one.
  6. One of these days I would like to pick up a set of Ron Landis fantasy nickels done in Felix Schlags original design for the nickel that never made it to production.
  7. That is an empty slot for me as well. I can find a few MS65-5FS coins here and there but I’m trying to hold out for at least a 66FS coin. Hard to find good strikes for this year. NGC has no 6 step coins graded. Good luck on your hunt.
  8. I see a sore neck and tired eyes in your future. Congrats on the new haul.
  9. I knew I recognized that. We had an Aladdins Castle in our mall here in town back in the day.
  10. The Lincoln bust looks like a cross between Ronald McDonnald and Grover from Sesame Street.
  11. As much as it hurt to let that other one go, I think I’m ok with this one. Apparently I am also starting a toner Washington set. I’ll never complete anything.
  12. Just bought another one. Time to put the phone away. The addiction is setting in.
  13. Been a while since my last purchase. 2 newps for the collection. I must have a thing for 1944 Ds. This is #4.
  14. Believe it or not, that 1960 P MS655FS coin has a NGC value of $1800 and the 1960 D at MS67 is $500. I would really go through that roll JP and see if you have anything that looks good.
  15. Yea this thread doesn’t make much sense if you didn’t see the auction. Basically you had a very circulated raw nickel with possible corrosion being labeled as a NGC MS-655FS coin. Clearly it was neither mint state or encapsulated. Maybe the D mint mark was a little off. Starting bid of $500. It needed to be removed.
