Where are you finding a worn-out 1796 half dollar for 3 grand?!?!?! Take me with you! The draw to united states coinage is obvious though as many...
Is there actually a chain cent that pedigrees all the way back to Rittenhouse? Or is this just a what if?
I thought CAC was only supposed to certify the top ~10% of coins for a given grade. We divide coins into A, B, and C for the grade, ok.Are you...
Can confirm. Look at my history.
I was kind of thinking it had to be the sellers pictures. Then my next thought was how could a seller take such a bad picture.

ANY 1794 Silver Dollar. Doesn't have to be nice, straight graded or anything. Literally any 1794 Silver dollar.
In my opinion, you guys are missing the point of this post. The fact that the top 20 valued coin sales are all in pcgs slabs doesn't mean anything...
Some of the coins on that list are basically legend... MS 67 RB 1796 Half cent... you put that thing in a NGC slab, it's going to be in the top...
I own a coin with an original planchet problem. It was straight graded. EDIT: Sometimes you all you can do is get one with a planchet problem =P
Held a 1796 Half Cent (mintage ~1300) in MS 64 at coin show pretty recently. Also held a 1793 Chain AU 58. Pretty sure those are the most valuable...
Why do you need VR to learn about grading when you can just look at a big picture of the coin on a screen? Sounds like you think that people...
Everyone says electronic is the future, but I don't see it. I think it will take much longer than 50 years for coins to become obsolete. Not in...
As far as I know, you can't just buy some coin, submit it to PCGS or NGC and get it pedigreed with something like 'Eliasburg'. You have to have...
As for value, I only think that a few pedigrees really add much value to coins. I think a lot of pedigrees are really pointless and dumb. I...
Many would disagree with you on this point. I know I am not alone in that I much prefer the white background of an NGC slab as it contrasts very...
Over time grading companies seem to have gotten more lenient with grading which is probably why people say to not expect to get the price guide...
Because the price guide is a guide. It's not the law of the land. And all coins are different. Without specifics, you won't get many other answers...
Of course I factor in the buyer's premium into the bids I will make. 17.5% of a bid is a significant fraction. I think the market value of the...
I would agree with your statement about preferences of the collector to some extent as well as the fact that these coins aren't the most liquid....
