Nothing surprises me anymore. It's all about the dollar. It's a marketing thing because there are always people out there that will pay extra...
Extra Fine details cleaned.
I would really like to know the reason "John" doesn't CAC ANACS or ICG. He needs to come out in writing and explain why he doesn't CAC other...
I have a number of coins with a CAC sticker on them but, I didn't buy them because of the sticker. I have also passed on a number of slabs that...

That's one nice strike thru.
I don't think it will CAC because it's not an AU 58. I'd call it at between a AU 50 and AU 55 no higher. As far as the hairlines virtually every...
I heard they were planning making them a yearly thing but, I wasn't impressed with the ones that came out this year. I did get a CC and S mint...
It shouldn't have any affect on the reverse unless some of the grease was on the reverse die too. The weak area on the reverse could be caused...

The strike is very important to me. If that bust half was raw in a dealers case I wouldn't even look at it. I understand that graders don't...
