A note from Dave :

NEW PURCHASES JUST POSTED

Dear Visitor,

8/24/08 Dear Visitor, It's been a while! Sorry, but my wife and I have been spending a lot of time hiking and climbing nearby 14,000 foot mountains (while we still can) and catching up on landscaping duties on our house. So work went down the priority scale this summer. Admittedly, thee is not a lot new here but still many good coins in a variety of series. Thanks to those who consigned some desirable items. Also, we have added many new items to the clearance section and further discounted the few left over. Be sure to check for the bargains.

MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT Next month we will be privileged to offer one ofthe finest sets of seated dollars ever assembled. It is minus the 70-S but the remainder grade AU55-MS64, mostly 63-64 and nearly all by PCGS. This collection was assembled over the last 20 years. Most of the coins were bought from us originally so it is good to have them back. Stay tuned for more details.

Thanks, Dave

A NOTE ABOUT IMAGES--PLEASE READ:

One of the most tedious and sometimes frustrating jobs I do is imaging coins. Some come out great, others are simply not photogenic and frustrating. Here are some tips on interpreting images. First, they are often darker than reality. Coins that are essentially white will actually look somewhat toned in an image. Second, any variation in depth of color is often greatly exagerated. Spots invariably show bigger and darker in images than in person. Please read the descriptions for additional info and remember you always have a return privilege (unlike auctions). Thanks, Dave
