A lot of the regulars kicked my butt on my first member post last year, I'd been lurking for some years, and I love you guys, but I would note...
My first recommendation is look on craigslist (especially the free section) and at local swap meets. I bought a big fire safe filing cabinet...
We're all entitled to our opinions, but I think I'm going to go with PCGS on this one. Take a look at some of the graded 1916s on eBay to see how...
I fear that some folks would find it intimidating to be accused of peddling a fake and maybe pull the auction and check with PCGS or some other...
Right, me too, I consider it "sniping" when I put in my max bid in the last 5 seconds of the auction in an effort to not give anyone a chance to...
PCGS (as well as NGC, ANACS and ICG) have excellent QA people, and they have procedures for multiple reviewers on tough call coins like dateless...
I've got to say, it's kind of amusing how sometimes we try and second guess the professional graders at PCGS, NGC, ANACS and ICG. Sure, sometimes...
Interesting, I just read the above on fake slab issue, I didn't see it when I looked at it, which is kind of scary. Good reminder to check the...
I just use my imagination. ;) Because I don't think anything's going to actually get that off without making the coin worse as you've already...
I don't know how you guys do it, I'm just catching up on my inventory of my collection and it's time consuming and I try to do 20-30 at a time....
I've had nothing but positive experiences buying here from members.
I just started using Numista to inventory and track my collection because of comments in this thread, I love that it's free, easy to use, I can...
One of the real privileges of having a few bucks is that you can sacrifice some and not got too distraught about it. I appreciate that privilege...
I fear that a coin grader needs good eye sight, I wear thick glasses but I have many doubts about my ability to grade coins, though in the last 5...
From my experience, I'd get Insider to weigh in a bit more if you get the chance, but I have no idea if you will. Hahahaha. I'm not good at...
That was kind of you, and the collateral is definitely enough to cover the loan.
Wow, I wish I could photograph that well! If I took those pictures everyone would be wondering why the Chinese were knocking off 1968 Denver mint...
Hah! Me too! My pictures are so bad that I make authentic slabbed graded coins look like bad Chinese knockoffs - I credit shaky hands, bad...
VF35 i think, the obverse is stronger than the reverse, and that costs you on the grading usually, I'd say the obverse is at least an extra fine...
Gallery Mint / Ron Landis?
