PCGS updates their pricing guides all the time. It's not yearly like the Red Book or monthly like the Greysheet. You might send an e-mail to...
I don't really care about slab type. I do care, quite a bit, about the coin that's inside. :)
66, but guessing grades of proofs from photos is a challenge so my confidence is low.
Teletrade has always been one of the "sneakier" auction outfits, IMO. Hidden reserves, consignor buybacks, and phantom bids are but three...
RLM, Did you get my grade correction? :)
I'm 0 for 2. Ugh. For these coins, it's all about luster. Ignore the chatter, for the most part. Unless there are hits in prime focal...
Absolutely nothing, by my estimation. :)
I'd prefer coin #2, but really, I'd wait for a better example. You're not going to get coins like those posted by coin dexter in your price...

Thank you, sir.
The short answer, Woody, is liquidity and resale value. I prefer slabs and stickers for most coins for this very reason, and not to sound cocky...
Detecto, The 1.8 is just fine. No need to go to the 1.4, particularly for coin photography where max aperature is not useful anyway. FWIW, I...
For every coin I purchase at a coin show, I purchase 10 via the internet. On those 10 coins, a grade and a sticker give me confidence to order...
Well if Larry had anything to do with it, maybe it is a 67 after all. Hmmm.... :)
Excellent! Most happy of all that you're satisfied with the coin in-hand. :) I guess I didn't realize you got the coin from Burke. They are...
The dreaded milk spots. I would call PCGS customer service and ask how to proceed. I would expect they will direct you to return the coins...
