That's kinda weird if they crack open that easy. How much harder than a BCW slab would it be? Of course, you could always take the grading labels...
One of the most interesting items that get into circulation are proof coins, and sometimes silver coins nowadays. Not too long ago, I found a...
You need to become an Ebay moderator lol! If sellers don't accept offers but put OBO, they need to simply put it as Buy It Now.
No kidding there, especially when it comes to buying coins from M. Barr. Recently I got an 1868 Indian penny with corrosion, but easily fine...
Hopefully something can. I simply don't understand why they "take" offers but decline every single one. I've experienced that before and I really...
That couldn't be truer. Your advantage is that the certified coins will bring in more money, which makes it a return on your investment over many...
Really? I guess we can now call them WeBay.
All I can say is don't hide it in something that you have ten others of. LOL Overall it's great that you collect them, as you likely know their...
Kinda like the story behind 9 out of 10 pattern coins. I read that most were created to raise money, but what the boneheads didn't know was that...
If you thought they were worth less than they are, it's good that you did get them certified! Hopefully you can get a great resell price out of it.
Not only is that over the limit, but that seller needs to be flushed down a giant toilet. If the seller blocks you from buying anything after...
I'm usually the same way. Most of mine came from lowball prices on them, as many of my MS68 S ANACS ATB quarters were just $6 (they're real, trust...
How is it possible to un-grade a coin? Sounds like it would only be done if you bought it from a company like SGS or INB.
A whole set lol? Wait a second.... that'll be easy! Here's my ingredients: Anywhere between $10,000 and $500,000 Authentication Uhhhh.... that's...
I'm with you on that one. In my opinion, those fees have been getting way too high especially with PCGS. It's no wonder people are turning to...
Thanks! I've been looking to stir up some long-needed questions, and I felt this was one of them. :)
This has to be the question numismatists think of often when it comes to Special Mint Sets. When I hear 1964 SMS, I think: Why were these made?...
Let's face it, we've all likely owned a graded coin at some point or another. Whether it be graded by PCGS, NGC, ANACS, ICG, or others like SEGS,...
Man, that was detailed! I don't ever see them using beryllium lol. It'd be just like silver!
The SBA dollar was a flop by the Mint in my opinion. Honestly they could've learned the lesson from the 20 cent piece, but then again the 20 cent...
Separate names with a comma.
