With NGC, send the coin in for reholdering service. It forces them to do a designation review and then restarts the clock.
The only coins I would crack out for an album are ones that shouldn't have been slabbed in the first place.
You're not getting what I'm saying here. The top of the lettering is oriented towards the rim on both faces. This is a fact. Ok, so no matter...
The top of the lettering is towards the rim, not the bottom. A clash of an upside-down A would be impossible, as there is no upside-down A.
Krause has a lot of misinformation. They all have the same mintage as they were all only offered in these sets! I use the Adamo catalog as it's...
5000 sets were produced of the 1966 proof set (the same number were produced of the similar 1967 set). The case would have originally had a white...
There are plenty of reputable dealers that do not accept returns under most conditions. It's not necessarily a red flag by itself.
What is the coin? What's the diameter? Can you post photos of the obverse and reverse?
Of course they used a real slab number on the fake slab. Putting a fake number on a fake slab is just advertising that it's fake. This is a bad...
I managed to acquire two more of the 2012 Hungarian pattern set; I am now missing only the 20 forint and 200 forint. Each of these patterns had a...
The quality of type attribution and grading for world coins specifically is much weaker at PCGS than at NGC. If I was going to buy an expensive...
Why not 3 as well? If you have a piece with a prototype design or planchet and that design or planchet is accepted, that doesn't make the piece no...
I acquired a much better example of the fourth type - a transitional pattern. Hungary 1982BP 10 Forint Aluminum-Bronze Pattern of KM-636 This is...
Send it to NGC. PCGS world service is terrible.
Is it though? Read it again.
They deal in volume. So, bulk discounts on the submission side, and then if you get enough coins that make the grade, you make enough profit on a...
I've owned quite a few Hungarian War of Independence copper issues (1848-49) that got straight graded MS with lamination issues. It is common...
It's allowable for him to charge full shipping for each coin, but then he had better ship each coin separately!
This. I've had many world coins that I get back from submission without a designation, then immediately resubmit it for designation review and it...
A very true point. Having a top pop world coin that is an MS64 is likely just due to lack of submissions, but when you get a feel for a series you...
Separate names with a comma.
