I guess there is very little luster left and the color is just the flat dull stuff seen on circulated coins exposed to too much sulfur. These...
Then don’t accept lowball offers. Not that difficult.
But it actually is true. Most examples of this variety show weakness at the base of the wing. Many people incorrectly think it is wear, which is...
Yup, stating that they exist is totally an exaggeration :rolleyes:
The only solution that gets the best of both worlds is to set 58 as the point where wear appears in the fields, and have AU-6x for coins with high...
WRONG! We are the ones who are supposed to blindly accept whatever they do because we no longer have to learn how to grade and thus will never...
AU-53: [ATTACH] AU-50: [ATTACH]
As I said, I like this coin better as a 53. But, according to PCGS, not all 55s are created equal, hence my comment. All three of these graded...
The one you posted has the exact same weakness in the center reverse. Perhaps it was net graded downward for the distracting digs and scrape on...
It looks like an image that was copied and printed. That generally causes a loss in resolution
Knockoff PCGS and NGC slabs housing legitimate Chinese coins and “graded” by a legitimate company. I’ve held their slabs and they remarkably close...
There are many other worse ways to get screwed on eBay. This is hardly at the top of my list. It sounds like you are doing more of the screwing...
As Baseball loves pointing out, the spirit and standards of grading have evolved. Who are we to decide what the TPGs decide what is kosher for the...
Inside look at a Chinese coin counterfeiting ring. This article has been around for 5 years at least. The machinery is far more modernized because...
Here’s a bunch of fake slabs. They are even counterfeiting slabs from the Chinese grading services, which are using knockoff PCGS and NGC slabs....
That flatness in the center reverse is absolutely a weak strike
Again, why should it matter? I said (in other words) that I would rather it be an exaggeration to get people’s attention than to understate the...
Again why does it matter? It is only semantics. And you have ABSOLUTELY no evidence to back up that it isn’t a problem at all. Everything I have...
It seems odd that you have a problem with that. Will this piece mess up your business of selling fake slabs or something? Based on the frequency...
Separate names with a comma.
