Maybe he owes money to some mafia group that only accepts payment in gold/silver... and if he didn't make good, he'd lose his house/legs? Beyond...
I never said it wasn't. I said you should view it as your potential market would.
Are we guessing the PCI grade? If so, MS-63 UPL rev. If we're guessing its current grade: MS60 Details Polished. :P
Actually, it does matter how confident you are in the coin. If you were confident in its authenticity, you would be able to guarantee its...
I believe that it's fair for those CFOs/CIOs/COOs/CMOs/CEOs of billion dollar corporations, yes. They do a job that 99.999% of the planet wouldn't...
This was pretty much Doug's point. You paid for their opinion on authenticity. Their opinion is that the coin cannot be authenticated without...
The rates I quoted "$250-$500 per hr billable" is pretty standard here. Plumbers (which seem to be the low end of the blue collar home repair...
It was real, Lon. I went to the bank and ordered $200 of halves, they filled $170 and gave me quarters for the other $30. I even got a...
The only time I CRH'd, I got a bunch of San Fran Walkers and Denver Franklins.
What percentage of coins do you think get this specific "Authenticity Unverifiable" outcome? Do you really think dealers will give up using PCGS...

Interesting page... I like how they claim to be one of the first to consign on eBay... wasn't there a glut of businesses doing that around the...
I wasn't sure what to call them. I didn't call them die clashes. I meant, clashes... like when coins hit each other in a pile.
I doubt that would grade higher than MS-64. The sideburns/chops look to have clashing, along with the rub on the browline and the slightly lighter...
Hey... look who's back. Hey Tim, why did you change IDs? And, what ever happened to that curio cabinet you bought for your coin collection?
The only haze I've ever noticed in a prestige set was from 1992. I thought I saw some on my 1991 set, but it disappeared after a few years.
That's arguing from a point of absurdity. I could equally argue "Tulips" as a failure of commodity investing. Or I could equivalently say "Try...
I think it's fair to say that the most common reason given for buying PMs is a fear that "the dollar is worthless" or something along those lines....
Chas, does the issue with the OGH packaging include the late 80s prestige sets?
