My understanding was those would only be given for submissions at the National. Did you submit something on-site?
Do you think it's possible the seller (or someone before the seller) made a small crack or hole in the holder and somehow smoked the coin? The obv...
The cardboard holders shouldn't have any PVC or plasticizers in them... if anything, you might be dealing with cardboard dust, which can lead to...
The reason I say it's passable for 66/67 even with the reverse issues is I had a 68 for my ASE that had a scratch on the OBV. I still say PCGS...
If you're talking about the reverse side striations, I doubt it. Absent the color, it looks 66/67 for an ASE. Remember, TPGs give more leeway on...
I'm not sure what to make of either of those... I think kittle is a member here, and that looked induced. The other one was PCI, which really...
Edit: For the record, the bill kinda died in committee. It had bipartisan support, looking at who sponsored and cosponsored the bill, so I don't...
1) The embargo hasn't been lifted. 2) eBay doesn't seem to fix policies when they become legal... only if they're illegal.
So, after seeing what seems (to me) to be an AT coin in a PCGS holder on eBay today (http://www.ebay.com/itm/141893306522), I started thinking...
I don't really care if anyone sells to me, which is why I'm offering such a low number.
26.66g, and reeded edge. I can't get to my camera, as it's in the car and pretty dark for photos, anyway. So, NGC more than PCGS on this coin? I...
I acquired a 1911 Dragon Dollar that doesn't fit into my collection at all, so I'm going to sell it. That said, I'm wondering... is it worth...
You can make a home project copystand on the cheap. You need: Base: 1/2" particle board works. Paint 50% gray, 0% white or 100% black, according...
While I agree that a scratch or pit can be fixed with a black Sharpie, I disagree on the fungus issue. Once a lens is invaded, the issue gets...
Thanks. Your response was more inline with what I was asking about lighting. I suppose I should have said light impedence or shadowing. As for...
I snipped the parts that weren't really addressing my concern. I appreciate your response, and have the following concerns: For coin...
Am I missing sthg? How is the bellows + 50mm option cheaper than a 100mm microNikkor at $65-$100?
I doubt it's worth *that* much, but thanks for the boost of confidence. My cousin actually had some nice stuff in his oddball coin collection. A...
Sadly, I recall *some* tone, but that electric blue looked new. Also, if it turns black, no loss, since the UK made 10 million of them. Hah hah.
Semi thread hijack here, but certainly related to the topic at hand. Got this in, and it looks "cleaned" but really might be pocket or coin purse...
