I know this is an old thread, but a circulated coin can actually be prooflike. In fact, I think PCGS and NGC have certified AU-55 and 58 PL...
A previous post of mine about pre-1933 gold coin denomination resurrections mentioned a design similar to the 1870 standard 1 dollar pattern coin....
Here's my philosophy on them: -----LOT OF MS68 GRADED 1881-S MORGAN SILVER DOLLARS---- We recently bought an estate collection of 1881-S Morgan...
It appears to be a grease error, but I believe the coin has been cleaned. It may be surprising for such a young penny, but often a more reddish...
SGS, or Star Grading Service, was the grading "company" of an Ebay seller who graded his own coins and sold them. Deceptive grades would usually...
Do these self-slabbers still grade today? Most of the ones I've read about are from around 2003-2013. It really fascinates me because I've been...
Sometimes I will self-slab a coin, but those are often lower-grade coins that you can tell yourself. I don't really believe in grading an AU coin...
Here are the coin photos. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I tried looking up the website, and it is likely a website for another company, or it is not a real...
If you have seen the first post of the same name, an error was present. I have seen a coin on USA Coin...
Holy cow!
Back of slabbed coin.
Front of slabbed coin.
You literally explained the story behind the 1 million dollar Gold Maple Leads from 2007 in 3 words.
I honestly don't think eBay allows you to offer for more than the BIN price. If they did, though, wait until another SGS comes around, and people...
UGS is actually a good grading service. Another thread states that two UGS coins went over to NGC for crossover grading, and while one remained at...
An authentic label will always help, especially when it comes time to sell it. For example, I've gotten a silver 3 cent piece w/VF detail for $8...
I personally own a 1995 PCI MS67 quarter. I agree with the grade on it, and I got it for almost chicken feed. Here's my grading tier list: Top...
That was where the Mint went right in my opinion. If not, we wouldn't have any 1965 silver coinage! Let's see.... the 1965 quarter, dime, and if...
Talking about bad apples, I feel like those people would be the new SGS. They'd probably slab a MS69 1880-S Morgan and sell it for about $1,000,...
I honestly like getting random coin lots, potentially graded or ungraded. One example is at my local coin shop, getting 10 coins for $1. One was a...
