Ownership frequently clouds judgment. :p
I'm not in the habit of buying coins for what they are worth. I like to buy coins for well under their value in order to resell. :) Based on...
From the pictures, I see no hairlines on the coins #4 & #5. I see a significant number of marks and chatter all over the fields and the coins do...
1) What makes you think that #4 & #5 aren't unc? The cheeks look a little flat, but the rest of the coin appears fine. 2) How many original...
There is no such policy that requires a seller to offer a refund if the buyer is unhappy with the purchase. A seller is allowed to state no...
I'd rather have most of my coins back in a bodybag than in a slab. I used to keep track and averaged around 80%-90% of bodybagged coins slabbing...
Considering the number of fakes that have fooled many long time dealers as well as larger reputable sellers and auction companies, I think it is a...

Several years ago I heard the same thing about world coins. Now I have people all over the world sending me coins to submit to the TPG for them...
:eek: I'd pre-order that when hell freezes over.
Some of you people are way too harsh on this coin. The obverse has the appearance of a decent amount of wear, but when you look at the reverse,...
Give it a couple more years and all you'll have is KM numbers. They are moving away from all the other numbers and assigning KM numbers to every coin.
I remember a guy at the local shop telling me the same thing about 20 years ago. He thought I was crazy breaking up the silver proof sets from the...
ICG will not slab this. They currently only slab Roman coins minted in silver from 69 AD to 307 AD. ANACS has started slabbing some ancients,...
The C reference is for William Craig's Coins of the World. The book is long out of print.
1) Does PCGS have a similar policy ? Not sure, but I believe that reholders are looked at by a grader. 2) Under what conditions would a...
NGC reviews all coins submitted for reholdering for grade also. If the coin won't meet the grade currently assigned, they will refuse to reholder...
The inner cores bend and allow the coin to be removed easily.
Looks natural. Similar toning can be found on the 90% Kennedys that were put in the black cardboard snap lock plastic cases promoting the coin.
