Dies were very expensive. Even the US mint used them until they gave out.
I don't want to go down a rabbit hole. You see my evidence. I disagree that any coin like the 1884-CC you posted had to have been cleaned in order...
I disagree with the whole premise that an "old" silver coin that is still bright white has to have had something done to it. Below have been in my...
Hopefully you're not sick of this thread. Perhaps someone will find it useful later. Here's the 1947 50c Maple Leaf, curved right 7, SP62 now,...
This 1947 $1 Maple Leaf they did not indicate conservation, but I'm certain they did. The "before" images again are 7 years old, this time outside...
Here's probably the best I can do of a before/after comparison (the "before" are 7 year old images). I'm almost as bad at photos as ANACS. This...
I'm impressed with the conservation. I'll attempt to take pictures when there's natural light available. For some it's hard to believe it's the...
Ha, I checked this morning and tracking still said "label created." I checked half an hour ago and it said "delivered." So I have the box in my...
It's interesting how many New Orleans Barber dimes from the early 1900s got deposited in New York. I'm imagining them arriving with passengers by...
Garbage. If you're going to claim it's an Omega fake, show the markers.
I see an amorphous blob around the D and not the distinct lower left of the repunch depicted in the book.
But the methods by which the flippers acquire large quantities are not set by Congress. It's all grandma gift stuff to me anyway and I have no...
I never noticed that there was a comment section on their articles.
Yes, their photos are very bad. Here is one (of several) where they didn't even get the whole slab in the frame. I will gently complain about this...
It's very aerodynamic.
Seems pretty picky on the 1854 (someone breathed on it) and then not so picky on the trade dollar. Nice varied group of coins.
I knew going in that they imaged them in the slabs (NGC does too) but the examples I saw were not this bad. Granted, it's tough to photograph a...
I just got around to reading that. Maybe it will get their attention if you tell them that facilitating the sale of counterfeit numismatic items...
So why report it to a major publication?
There was a recent thread somewhere with the same thing. Someone tracked it down to the exact wording printed on an old coin album that...
Separate names with a comma.
