Can't speak for the rest of the world, but as I understand it, the obverse and reverse dies at the US mint have different bases (for lack of a...
I'm not taking sides here. But the whole "customer is always right" does not always apply. There was obviously at least one discrepency between...
At every live auction I've attended there has been a preview period of at least an hour prior to the start of the auction. If you call, most...
PVC was used to make plastic less brittle. So the hardness of the plastic can give some indication if it contains PVC. If you're refering to the...
Got a little insight on this about a year ago during an auction. I went out to smoke (nothing I was interested at this point). Couple of the...
Anybody beside me remember the old car salesmen joke, "...this beauty was owned by a little old lady from Pasedena, who only drove it church on...

I'm thinking different circumstances. Had you bought from this seller before? What was your feedback rating? Did you provide more detail than...
I think auction fees aren't really standard. One guy I know charges a flat 25%. Another charges 12%, plus expenses (he usually runs multiple...
What about http://www.numismedia.com/ ? Another source of price comparison. I also agree, spend the $13 every couple of months for the Grey...
