Probably 62/63 due to chatter, or on a tough day 58 IMHO.
If you got a Poor-1 at PCGS it would be a homerun as they have a lot of demand for those.
What about glue residue? Is rubbing alcohol better than acetone? What are the best chemicals for a minimum of damage and a maximum of results?
Agreed; pictures shared on these or other forums would allow a pretty close estimate.
If you want to know what your currency is worth, I would first go to the Friedberg book, get the F# and then plug it into the auctions, preferably...
I've heard ballpoint pen is a lost cause. Just curious if acetone doesn't work for glue, what are other options without damaging the paper?
Any idea when it might be available to view them online?
HI--I just thought I would run this by other club members. An area club has periodic appraisal and buying weekends. They spend a lot on...
I pretty much stopped going with all the traps lurking in the cases. I don't want to be tempted plus I have credit card bills to pay off.
A collector, part-time dealer friend asked me to send in these tokens to NGC, got them back this week after a month wait, I have no idea on...

What ever happened to buy the coin not the holder? I guess with moderns under $50 it's no big deal. But the bias toward PCGS gets pretty...
Some of the modern coins give collectors a lot of pleasure; I have a friend in a re-hab facility who orders a lot of inexpensive certified moderns...
And Rick Montgomery left PCGS some years ago for NGC; I don't know what to make of the changes. Probably the classic coins are diminishing, and...
Leading graders agree over 80% of the time on their grade assignments, and though there is an art of grading and room for argument, there is a...
You like to use really twisted logic to try to make your "case" and the BS is utterly egregious and no way that raw coin sellers could operate on...
I was looking for coins at the show that were not available certified.
I "took responsibility" by taking the guy at his word and acted in good faith then in submitting the coins for grading and making him aware of the...
"So he chose to pay over retail even at the purported grades." All his coins were priced "below" GS bids; so the Barber must have been called...
