Been there...done that...still experiencing it as well!

Nice pile of coinage you have there!

Although I do not understand the significance of the Lincoln Cents in the NGC slabs "Brillant Uncirculated".

Gr58, I do 99% of my buying at a local coin shop. I used to do a lot of online shopping, but now I love to go into the shop. How about you?


Blackjack I help out at two local coin shops .. buying selling and sorting coins. Another local shop I am on good terms with and can get coins at less than greysheet.

Of course I watch ebay for good deals

I know .. no grade right. I think these slabs are handed out at coin shows. Not sure why I bought them .. but just $1.00 each .. I just can't say no

take pictures of the date side and then change the sharpness, colors, contrast etc.. You might be able to find the date on some of them

Windchild .. I will try that, I can see some of the date .. on some of the coins ..

Sounds like a steal for a dollar a pop! I would have jumped on that deal like a "duck on a junebug"!

This is just a more general ...why did I buy these and not
the coins I need.


Because your just like me and many others on this forum. You just can't help yourself. I do the same thing all the time. In fact I have 4 PCGS PF69 Sacs in mail right now that I do not need. I bought them because they were selling for less than half of retail and for no other reason than that.
