Very similar to what I've seen with Austro-Hungarian coins. I know some buyers by reputation in that market who have new money and will not lose a...
Good point. I hate that you can't see a pic of the slab with the TrueView. Hard to verify, and the coin could be upside-down for all you know.
1) Yes, but which one depends on the coin 2) It depends on the coin and the grade. If world, no. If US and it makes a price difference, and it's a...
Excellent advice. A TrueView is a glamour shot, and sometimes is way better than the coin typically will look in hand. I've bought coins where...
I think the older NGC slabs look rather nice with larger ($20) gold coins, and toned (S$1) size silver coins. The color contrast along with the...
@spirityoda so sorry for your loss. My mom passed away this year as well. Your family is in my thoughts.
Here's a new acquisition for my Hungarian krajczár set (with seller photos). This side collection to my Hungarian types is a full set of the...
I've owned some world ICG slabs. They were graded correctly, but I bought the coin and not the slab. Any that I kept for my personal sets got...
NGC has one, at least on Android. It's just called NGC.
World coins are very much alive. The world markets have been correcting upwards for some time. US coins are overvalued right now. Also, we don't...
Custom sets still use their old system. The easiest way is to register all your coins first. Then use the wizard to create a new custom set using...
The mint hires an unscrupulous employee that fabricates an error coin. The hiring is a mistake made by the mint in the course of regular...
Definitely not shears. The cut is too precise and doesn't show the right type of metal displacement on the cuts. This looks like it got caught in...
Use the NGC app to scan your coins. It walks you through the process of adding it to your collection and to any applicable sets.
Really nice double strike!
I don't hate PCGS. I am a member and submit to them regularly. In fact, I replied earlier with a post about how their world medals service is...
Repair doesn't make a coin problem free. It is appropriate only where the eye appeal can be improved through repair. But a repair leaves its mark...
I found it's easier IF you use their app and scan your coins. Then it walks you through adding them to any applicable sets automatically.
The reason is if the coin is not graded properly to begin with. I never do cross at any, however, if I'm looking at a PCGS coin that is a 64 and...
Lots of assumptions I see. My last submission at Whitman was 154 world coins to NGC and 5 world medals to PCGS. That's fairly typical volume for...
