1963 proof sets don't carry a significant premium over melt, from what I recall... so if you're positive it's a coin you want...
Good plan. You could probably get an actual AU/BU slider for around $25, so even without the cleaning/polishing issues, you kinda overpaid.
I will give you Andrew's email. He should be better able to assist you with that.
Nice coin. You should probably post it in the larger Ike thread, so more people see it. I've linked you to the thread here, BTW.
The biggest issue b/t the two is that NGC accepts PCGS coins for their version of the Registry, while PCGS only accepts PCGS coins into their...
Obviously paying more than melt, since Walkers can be sold on eBay for 2x melt.
That sounds racist... :P In all seriousness, though, I agree on trusting NGC for most world coins, but specifically for China, I'd defer to PCGS...
TBQH, I think PCGS should be trusted ahead of NGC, in the current marketplace, as PCGS has a HK office which has hired Chinese specialists, who...
Well, 41 business days now puts ANACS beyond PCGS' submission return standard. I'm wondering if their consultant lost whichever coins were...

Lee, did you get it directly from Nixon? I mainly was curious about how these were distributed. I know the hearsay story, but I was hoping for...
Congrats. You've now joined Brett_in_Sacto on my ignore list.
Does anyone have one of the Richard Nixon brown box Ikes?
Cool coin, but why did you post the same thing in different threads?
Doesn't everyone get 40% for less than spot? It costs so much to recover silver from 40% that even refiners will sell it for less than spot...
I can't wait to get my submission back, so I can post more Ikes. :p BTW, do you plan on getting the above regraded/attributed by NGC or DIVA?
This is somewhat flawed as an argument. The reason the fiat currencies of the past failed is due to a failure of the economy. The reality is no...
I'm fairly certain that .24 means 24 microns... or about half the thickness of a human hair. ;)
What region are you in that 25-cent Canadian pieces can be deposited at the same rate as 25-cents US?
