Your LCS needs to make money too. They assume liability while in possession of your coin, plus it takes manpower to fill out the forms. You can...
It's been a while since I filled a hole in my classic Hungarian type set (1848-1945), but I just picked up an elusive earlier type today. Hungary...
1800 NGC-COIN?
If you want to get into something fun, try prooflike coins. These are business strikes that have an appearance close to that of a proof.
No offense, but consider the trouble you are going to cause for the sellers, who would lose time, money, and the opportunity to sell it to a...
I've had a few like that where I end up finding one later, but very rarely has the same coin popped up and given me a second chance.
I actually liked the PCGS exclusion since I do world coins. But unlike for US, their world grades tend to be 1-2 steps overgraded compared to NGC.
Here's a coin I regretted missing out on at Heritage in January 2016: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I underestimated the value a bit and lost out, but I...
This is a new feature to help with building registry sets. Instead of manually entering every coin, you can just scan the barcode or enter the...
Therein lies the problem with your request. You can't just look up a coin and get a value; you will get a table of values dependent on the grade...
So they are less bad now at designating coins that are obviously PL. Oh and people get to pay for resubmitting coins that should have always had...
Yes, but I don't believe the 1804 dollar was purposely created as a fantasy piece, but rather with the intent of it being a reissue (though that...
Doug, great questions. For my modern Hungarian set, I'm only collecting first year examples of each type (which includes many key dates,...
Yeah I feel the same way. I discovered that I inadvertently had at least one of these "replacement" coins in my type set (probably more), from the...
If a coin is restruck by a government and distributed as an original, is it really a restrike? For example, the 1804 dollar or 1964 silver...
Don't forget mechanical errors and mistakes. Not all top pops are even legit. I know quite a few types where the top pops are really restrikes...
You are not involved in any way in the future transaction. It's not your coin and you're not the buyer. Moral obligation to intercede? None. Stay...
Yeah I encountered it by surprise. I had a red copper that needed reholdering anyway, but they explained that it does get reviewed and extended...
I don't know what I was thinking earlier. I withdraw my previous post.
No problem. Also, I've done this myself a couple times, and customer service confirmed that the designation review happens when you do this. Of...
