Kurt, here's where your idea breaks down: 3 cent Nickels. Scarce as all get out. Collectible, too. No demand, and as such, low prices and lower...
I was referring more to little things that are mis-truths... like Mike Meczak insisting that the "number 1 driver of value is rarity" which is...
Go to a major show. Look at slabbed examples. Look at as many as you can. Once you know what PCGS and NGC coins look like, you'll know what the...
Actually, I have heard them cross the line many times. I've heard them give absolutely false information in the interest of "educating" their...
I often use latex gloves and dip the coin by hand. I then rotate the coin while in the dip. This is all done in the container. I judge the dip by...

So it's likely a restrike?
devil's advocate here... words aren't useful???
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] A friend texted me today asking me about this coin. I haven't gotten home yet to research it, but I figured I'd post it and get...
I don't think the MS-69 slab will be worth ANY premium, let alone 30%. Sure, they're taking a small profit on these to dump them. They're gonna...
AU 55 and MS-63 BN
