here goes nothin'! Good Luck Everyone!!!
The best way to tell if Proof examples exist is to check the population reports from NGC and PCGS. If there are populations, the coins exist, but...
I don't know if I fully understand what you're saying jcakcoin, but MANY MS or PF-70 graded coins are overgraded as well. Even from top tier TPGs.
awesome post! I wish we could get that page printed in every newspaper right next to the ads for the fakes.
I don't think that the displeasure with National Collectors Mint is that people don't hit on some high-paying investment. The displeasure is that...
Well, it's kind of the same thing that I said, but yes, I think you got it. Other than a guarantee of authenticity, the slab itself is almost...
who is G? good one!
sweeet coin! Is that a cameo contrast on the reverse?
it is also true that a rare raw coin is more valuable than a graded common coin as well. The slab does nothing for the value. One should also...

Doug, you eloquently make your points as always. Yes, I think you're weird, but that has nothing to do with this discussion. ;) While I...
Ripley, I have to ask you about that coin you pictured. The slab says 2007 -W without the W mintmark. That is worded like it's an error coin...
If it's the same, Merc, then why is it not with the dimes and half dimes in the Redbook? why are they listed before the regular issue United...
Doug, I always try to listen, understand and learn, but that makes me question things (and to your dismay at times I have demonstrated this)....
These are dictionary.com definitions of the word set: - a collection of articles designed for use together: a set of china; a chess set. -...
It's a $5, does that make a difference? (You said a lot of wear for a $2.50)
is that flat strike or wear? It looks like wear to me, but I have never graded the $5 Indians. If that's wear it's no better than XF-40 and maybe...
I personally thought "Dog Farts" deserved better than a 6 seed. LOL
I sit corrected. I was looking at the Disme mintages and values, not the Half Disme. Both coins make my point as they are not part of any set,...
Separate names with a comma.
