What is your goal with collecting? Reading through your post the one thing I would suggest is to stop focusing on coins with serious problems as...
I would suggest offering the price you want to them instead of soliciting a price. You could also make a list of the coins you are interested in...
Cough...Cough...Reiver...Cough...Cough..., thankfully Mark also listed his opinion of most coins. The biggest issue I see with the TPG pedigree...
For large cents surface quality is a huge driver of price, and corrosion is just ahead of human damage as far as worst damage. For EAC grading...
You have a point, I bid online and did not view the coin in hand. For Heritage the issue was not that the label on the coin was wrong, it's that...
