Dear fellow numismatists, Below, with the permission of John Albanese, please find a preliminary draft (subject to further editing) of the...
The coin's color might be natural, but based on the images provided, I am not confident of that.
Also, initially, at least, I'd recommend trying to sell to collectors, instead of dealers. In some cases, that might not be practical and...
First, you need to figure out what you have, quality-wise and value-wise. Are the coins certified and if so, by whom? Each of the answers can...
I don't see what "Slabs, stars, stickers.There's a coin in there, someplace." has to do with the thread title ("The reason you can't see it might...
Don't decide ahead of time, which issue you will buy first. Wait for the right, specific coin to come to you and talk to you.

Absolutely, you can take 20% off...... After you double the listed price.:devil:
I "know" Chris from more than one coin forum and I have never seen him (intentionally) be rude to anyone. He is a heck of a nice guy and a fun...
NGC and PCGS are both set up at the show. Either company is fine to use.
Based on the date and the design, it can't be anything other than a dime.;)
Why not refer him to this thread, so that he can see what others think?
Best case scenario - re-toned after a dipping or cleaning. As or more likely - artificially toned. Either way, it looks extremely unnatural and I...
I have a problem with the above definition of an MS65. If a coin is essentially perfect, but not eye-appealing, I don't see why it shouldn't grade...
I am at an airport and can't read all of the back and forth here. But it is my understanding that the major grading companies don't grade and...
Separate names with a comma.
