@Jeepfreak81 , I too suffer from your newly labeled disease. I don't think any Pharma companies are working on a pill, so I'll have to rely on...
Thanks Bill. The $2.5 gold coin is a stunner. It has PL surfaces over most of the coin (both sides), but it's not complete enough to get the...
I don't "roll collect" so I can't speak to premiums being paid for coins being in bank rolls. I think @V. Kurt Bellman , summed it up though....
It's tough to say. I think you already know this, but PMD is Post Mint Damage. I agree it's unusual, but copper is softer, so it could be anything.

I like the old soap bars ANACS holders. I don't like anything about their latest two generations of holders.
$600 Better date and mm, plus doily = strong bids. Looks like that Morgan has some nice luster on it for a 62. If you own it, congrats. I...
I prefer the look of the NGC slabs. I know the optics on the PCGS slabs are good, but they look "cheap" to me. When buying a coin, I don't...
What Yolobagels said. In the case of the coin you posted, it's obviously got corrosion. I have only a couple coins in details holders. One was...
Just keep playing and hope you get the floor. As you can tell from the points table, I don't get the floor much...lol.
I judge grade 2nd. I first assess the overall eye appeal. Then I look for technical confirmation. But that's just me. I believe in making sure...
Heck, I still make mistakes. I just hope they don't cost me as much as some of my earlier mistakes.
Looked like a lot of them were also baked/heated too.
@Randy Abercrombie , you have to wait to win a "guess" before being able to post. Nice coin BTW. I believe Jtlee321 has the floor.
$330 on the Buff. I think you got a great deal on it. I think I remember you posting that when you showed the pics for the first time in...
So who wins? You get to make that determination and summon them to post a toned coin.
Pure silver is very reactive, so it's not a surprise to see Silver Eagles with toning. I feel a lot of them have been "helped", but improper...
Looks like a small rim cud in the first picture and PMD in the second.
Probably very true. In some cases, I have seen their bosses behave similarly. Don't get me wrong, I don't expect a red carpet, hot latte and...
Please read this entire thread. Purchasing from the Franklin Mint is not a good idea. There are so many different ways to collect those coins at...
