Faster and cheaper than PCGS and NGC and as good a holder in my opinion. Less reliability on grade. My experience was they graded coins...
The guy is a show dealer; at the same time I had looked at a number of his other type coins that had major problems and I bought an Anacs type...
That is just so ludicrous as to defy common sense; when was the last time you saw a show dealer under-represent their coins? They need...
Stop trying to bully me with your jaundiced rhetoric! AU Bust H10cs have little upside from AU50 and in the other low AU grades.
I was just looking for good for grade as the dealer warranted with his description of the coin in selling it to me. I did not expect to make money...
For me it's about accountability and a two way business practice, not one way where coins are bought as cheaply as they can be had, misrepresented...
I'll be at the Danbury show tomorrow. If anyone has the capability to image, we could post here. Basically it looks semi-pl with even toning....
I told the dealer before I bought it that I get all my coins graded. That was the understanding; a lot of people miss problems on coins.
In the case of the dealer in question, he agreed it was the same, thought it was a nice coin as AU, and disagreed vociferously or rather tried to...

I spoke with a dealer who had sold me a Bust half dime a while back; I saved the dealer's flip that indicated the coin was choice AU. He charged...
Coin World opened my eyes to the existence of the big companies that are more ethical than various others that operated outside proper business...
My observations at the show yesterday in Manchester: most of the significant buying had happened Thursday night before the show officially started...
I spoke with him yesterday at the Manchester, NH show. I told him the way to get your stolen stuff back is hire a PI who is paid based on...
I sold some silver and other pms today to Apmex, not sure if they are the top buyers but they are reliable anyway. This from Bix Weir recently:...
I am hoping silver will continue to climb though I am philosophical about the ups and downs. I was talking to a fellow who used to spend a lot of...
Par for the course....It is much safer to deal dealer to dealer or dealer to knowledgeable collector. There are just too many knuckleheads out...
Thanks, Tom. With currency, I have been happy with PMG's images; they are way ahead of what I generally see on ebay. After all, who is going to...
Yes, but if I am going to ship, the price is the same to NGC as to an expert photographer. And I would trust NGC with $20K to $30K in coins not a...
So instead of shipping the coins, I could get someone locally at around $5 like NGC charges? About the same quality and would they then be...
