I think even a train wreck would be worth more. You could likely get $40 or more out of one that's holed, cleaned, corroded, scratched, and bent...
Now I've really got to think about it. The bid is now $28! Hopefully it doesn't go much higher than that, though. As a collector, I want something...
Thanks for the feedback, everyone! Hopefully I can find if it's a VAM, and if so, its value on top of that.
Hey folks! Today, I put roughly $55 into a 1922 Peace Dollar graded by PCGS as MS64 as the result of a trade. I'm wondering if it has any possible...
Honestly I've seen a cleaned coin sell for as much as an uncleaned one. Hopefully this won't happen with whizzed coins, though.
Properly cleaned means that you can barely, or sometimes not at all, tell it's been cleaned. Sometimes, properly cleaned coins fool even the experts.
I actually located part of the site from 2006, while one in 2007 had another site there. Have you found any other websites?
I actually have a cousin who works in one of the coin shops about 35 miles south of me. I've bought three and sixpences off him at melt value,...
I've actually been researching about both topics, and while that quarter looks good, if you dig deeper, it looks quite harshly cleaned. I've seen...
What slab companies have you found? I looked up ones like GEC and it says "the domain may be for sale".

It'd honestly be cool if it got a PR-4 CAM. However, I do believe that that dark toning compared to the rainbow toning is why they gave it a...
Likely it's the rainbow toning where the coin is not lustrous. Rainbow toning generally occurs on lustrous coins like XF-45 and above, and even...
That sounds quite good to be honest. Hopefully I can get it quite cheap, as many of those coins can trade for way less no matter the cleaning...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] There is a current auction on David Lawrence Rare Coins, at the time of this post, that includes this 1818 Bust Quarter graded...
Wow. If only I could get close to that shop. Here in Indiana, I have a lot of good coin places to go to, but I've never heard of those culls for...
How on earth did you get a SEATED half for $10? I pay that as a usual price for Walkers.
Here are some other acronyms: Stuffed Garbage in a Slab Slapped Grade Slabs Stupid Grades on a Slab Plus many more! ;)
I guarantee they'd look at it and slab it as a 70. LOL Uhhh.... you must be this calm all the time! Bad news is never the start when it comes to...
Lots of us new collectors have likely heard of SGS, but when you go to their website, ........nothing. However, after some digging, I actually...
