If I wanted a 1793 Chain Cent or 1796 Quarter for my collection, and I wanted to see the details on it (VF or so), the best I could afford would...
People go crazy for CC Morgans, no matter how common or damaged. I sold an 1880 CC with graffiti, a harsh cleaning, and a slight bend for $50....
I’m active with the Anti-Counterfeiting Task Force group and this was reported with several coins from the eBay seller, and the coins being sold...
MS-62
The slabs are being faked as well, and some are really good. That’s why I said don’t buy any coins until the fakes become obvious. Because it is...
You share my frustrations. Some collectors/dealers saw these coins and could not see past the damage. One dealer said he would not pay more than...
Not necessarily. I bought a BU 1910 S cent for $30 because the seller thought it was just a 1910. But it requires knowledge to sell which sellers...
Yes. This seller is peddling nothing but fakes. He should be reported to the secret service. If you can’t tell that these are fakes, you need to...

Their published standards still use them, which means they are actively trying to misinform collectors and hide what they do. I will leave it up...
Because great eye appeal is expected for gem and above grades, along with the technical merits of the grade.
I have serious doubts about authenticity. This is a $50k+ coin. Strikethroughs like this on gold coins is generally seen as a bad sign because...
Huh?
Let me rephrase. By “limiter” I meant “detractor”. A coin that grades MS-67 (such as the Morgans you posted) must have exceptional eye appeal. If...
Remember when I said earlier (several times) that eye appeal should be a requisite for the gem and above grades? At least that’s how it is...
It’s like the 1884 CC Morgan. There are nearly 1 MILLION extant BU examples, yet they still go for hundreds of dollars. Collectors see that CC...
Those pics would have solidified me at 64
