by the way, I agree with Doug's definition of a coin dealer. I think that a vest pocket dealer is a dealer, but I'm hesitant to call anyone who...
I'm a dealer, even by Doug's definition. The coins pay the mortgage and feed the kids.
If you know how to grade and would know when the coin comes back from the services misgraded then PCGS is your best bet (they tend to be more...

I too prefer the top one, but I wonder how much of that is due to the obviously more natural looking color. The white slab inserts in NGC slabs...
I refuse to call anything copper NT unless I've seen it in hand. Too many tricks of photograph (both intentional and inadvertant) can cause an...
