Yes; whenever necessary and possible!
Bill Problem often is that sellers don't offer such coins at a reasonable price. Half of catalog should be the most, and often less than that. |

Half of catalog should be the most, and often less than that. You got me there! Since I'm so new I'm sure I haven't left too much money on the table yet. I've been using past selling prices and trying to consider differences beteeen the coins, as a basic price check. Is there an actual catalog that approximates values? This is important for and of us trying to make good decisions. Thanks! |

To the best of my knowledge, no. You have to do research of auctions and ebay. And remember on ebay to look at: -- completed auctions, and -- items that actually sold. |

I have an old Whitman Folder that had a slot for the 1913 Liberty Head Nickel. Also, an Album with a slot for the 1894S Liberty Head Dime. I keep hoping for a low grade one for those slots.  Most newer Albums do not have a space for those. |

Most newer Albums do not have a space for those. I have seen these slots in old albums. I have heard of albums coming with, or people making, an insert for those holes saying "Extremely Rare", etc. Of course, an empty hole in an album can drive people crazy too. |

I just added this 1886 to my V-nickel album. It has 2 faint scratches on the obverse that I don't see most of the time. For $138 it was a good acquisition to me over a clean good condition example. It does not look too out of place.   Edited by Wizardnyc

I get it. Thomas might stand out a bit less. Just saying.  |

Ah, Incentive. I get that, too. Good luck with the last hole! It could be worse, right?  |
