Actually, ICG does not allow you to collect coins they grade if you are a grader. I believe NGC does. I think PCGS does also. What they really...
It’s a mixture of ease and insurance. I will not keep a coin like this in a flip. I’d need to get a holder for it and given it’s shape, I’d...
The Albanian piece is wonderful. I've been trying for a while to buy a GEM example, but have been unsuccessful. Even though I've bid strong money,...
But you're wrong about no one other than Americans caring about slabbed grades. I sell quite a bit of slabbed foreign and many go back to their...
Just got this back from NGC. It's a 1701 Austria (Hall) Taler featuring Leopold the Hogmouth. It's got wonderful green, blue, and gold toning on...
It can help darken awful looking toned coins, but they will still look unnatural. Few would be fooled by it. There are better ways to darken...
I'm not sure how it worked last year, but currently NGC requires a minimum of 500 Silver Eagles submitted in order to get the First Strike label....
I broke up WELL over 100 sets to submit for grading. The coins that came back raw since they did not meet my minimum grade, I spent those. Also,...
You're not taking into account how the bulk submission process works or the fact that you're looking at First Strike label coins. This makes a big...
I showed it to an ancient coin deler and he said one is the mint master and the other the person on the coin.
Well, it's up, but not running. It's missing pictures and links don't work.
Because that is what is says on the ICG slab, "P.L. Crassus". I honestly have no idea if that is the correct ID of the coin. I'll do a little...
I'm somewhat choosey of who I buy from. Considering this was a Heritage auction and the coin is also certified by ICG, I have no worries about its...
What is the value of the collection? How much does it weigh? If a very high value, contact an armored transportation service. If not, ship the...
I'm not really an ancient coin collector. Just starting out buying ones that look interesting to me. Here is one I won from the Heritage NYINC...
All net graded coins will be in the old slab. Only problem free coins will go in the new slab.
Regardless of the real grade, that coin is ugly looking. With all the black toning spots, blah color, shininess (hits) on the breasts and...
How exactly are you finding this footprint? Microscope or common sense (i.e. a 100 year old silver coin is blast white, so clearly it was dipped)?...
Looks odd. Are you sure it isn't whizzed?
You can't blame ICG for HSN selling their coins. ICG grades coins and will grade coins for any submitter. What the submitter does with those coins...
