If the holders they are currently in get the job done, then what would be the point of having them all reholdered? Unless you're one of those...
With regard to numerical grading, there is no right. Grading is subjective and always has been. This subjectivity actually works in the favor of...
I think a lot of the OPs "gripe" is due to the area where he collects. A huge amount of the TPGs business is in the slabbing of uber-common...
I don't have many, but I wrap them in bubble wrap and then put them in a plastic storage container. Both of my Hungarian Klippe's are in these...
I think we'd all be surprised and disturbed by how much the "TPGs" who were originally created to "protect" the consumers from buying wildly...
Something I left out of the contorted travels of the coin above: Somewhere after it was sold in April 2015, and before it was listed by Atlas in...
Just to clarify, I did not buy the $1700+ newly graded NGC MS65 version. My PCGS MS64 version was about 1/2 that, and IMO looks just as nice or...
This is a surprisingly common journey for coins it seems. It pays to do some research before bidding. Enjoy the 1 year tracking of the coin...
Non-standardized would be an accurate description. Even the TPGs get confused and use various terms and strike designations for the same coin...
Yes, ESSAI can and does correspond to multiple definitions of what people call things in the USA parlance. The TPGs tend to grade modern essais...
You have it the wrong way around. The original French spelling was piedfort. The English misspelled it as piefort. Also, piedfort coins often...
Interestingly, people have been saying that for 20+ years, and original non dipped coins are still the preferred look. I guess it depends on how...
No idea. It doesn't specify on the NGC website.
Here are the top 50 types of USA coins graded by NGC. Everyone loves Bullion, Morgans, and State Quarters. :yack: [IMG]
I added them up -- and, of the 1.3 million Chinese coins graded...more than 1.1 million of them are bullion or commemorative (functionally NCLT...
I agree with this guess. I'd bet probably 1 million of the 1.3 million Chinese coins slabbed are just silver or gold ultra modern bullion issues.
I will give them a shot this weekend. Unfortunately, the type of PCGS holder this is in covers up the rim and some of the outer design of the...
I have been relatively quiet this year so far with new purchases, but I picked up a new Queen Victoria silver medal this week from Atlas...
@Zohar444 , all beautiful coins! Impossibly to pick a favorite...just wow! Congrats.
Not sure what you're seeing that would make you think AU, but this coin is graded MS65 by NGC. My grade is 66 easy for the reverse, and a...
