They don't advertise that they will dip your coins, however they do advertise that they will conserve your coins, and often times conservation...
Also, PCGS prices typically are very elevated.
The commemorative market is very weak right now, with most coins selling in auction for well under sheet. I personally would pass unless you can...
perhaps it is struck on a dime planchet? Is it thinner than a normal penny?
Frank, Both NGC and PCGS employ market grading. I think you will get an au-58 out of the coin, and I think on this example you would be hard...
If the coin was ultra rare, that means it is high profile, and it's not hard to surmise who owns an ultra rarity. If they submitted the coin...
I've been wrong in the past, but I do not think this is one of them. The metal flow does not appear correct, the strike is much much weaker than a...

It's counterfeit.
I must disagree with this statement. If you submit a coin that is say 3,000 dollars in value in ms-65, and it is worth 5,000 dollars in 66. You...
Frank, If you send coins to NCS you do not need to request that they flip the coins over to NGC. If they feel the coin is problem free enough to...

My personal opinion from the photos is that the 1877 is genuine. I would personally send the coin to ICG, as the anacs graders recently went there...
I spent a year at PCGS, and I'm confident this did not happen there (while I was there anyway). I'm not sure about the other TPG's though. As...
I don't think you can ever be too cautious in the coin business. There have been dealers followed home and executed. Recently a dealer who worked...
I think PCGS graded the coin either a 65 or 66. There appears to be a carbon spot under the I in IN, some roughness on the shoulder, and a couple...
I snagged it out of an auction a while ago. The coin is nicer than my pictures show in regards to light pastel toning the coin exhibits. I just...
This is a coin I really enjoy, so I thought I would share it.
I find it's a good idea to always be corteous, and never ever say negative things about the dealers coins, even if they are true.
