Indeed. I actually prefer PCGS over NGC for world medals and tokens, and I am a member and submitter to both for that reason.
What TPG do you prefer for world coins and why? For those who prefer world coins raw, still choose your favorite TPG if you had to pick one. This...
Ok. Based on my experience with tens of thousands of world coins, PCGS overgrades world coins across the board. I guess some markets may prefer...
Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying PCGS world coins don't have a higher premium than ANACS. I'm saying their grades aren't good.
No. The dealers I work with abroad don't care about slabbing. All the world dealers I use stateside use NGC save for two.
ANACS isn't preferred over NGC. I would trust a grade on a world coin sight unseen in an ANACS slab over PCGS though. What are these countries...
I have many coins in my type sets where I have gone with a lower grade example with superior eye appeal over a higher grade example. Sometimes I...
I primarily deal with world coins. For world coins, you'll want to slab with NGC. ANACS is probably second. PCGS is a far third. Some dealers...
Thanks. I did one on the 2 fillér as well: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/hungarian-2-fill%C3%A9r-types.338542/
Yes I agree with your assessment on the WWI era coins. The iron 10 fillér in aUNC is typically hairlined and will go for about $100+, but the...
Thanks. The 1950 pieces were very elusive. For my modern type set I only find first year of issue coins to be acceptable, which meant I needed the...

Recently I've been focusing on completing the sets of minor types from the Hungarian periods I collect, and I have just completed the set of 10...
Normally the counterstamp is an advertisement or political in nature. Sometimes a person stamps their initials, or random things just for fun I...
Actually not that strange at all for a counterstamped coin. Someone had a bunch of S1$ and a small S punch and counterstamped them all in the same...

The assumption seems to be that if the sniffer was detecting the VC, it would result in details for the coin. Why? What if they can detect it and...
Looks good, but you need to look at the edge for these coins. Post some edge pics, especially where the pattern joins itself.
