My point is that the Chinese nailed that particular insert/holder/hologram combination. The one the OP posted a picture of. They are also making...
Here is a really good reference that goes into better detail. Note the difference in holograms between V8.0 & V9.0...
Bar code scans invalid and it's in a heavily counterfeited 4.1 slab. (2002-2004) These slabs appear perfect. (PCGS can tell them apart) Strongly...
Regardless of who I buy it from, if it isn't TrueViewed, there is a box waiting when I get the coin. I'll look at it under the scope & in hand for...
So let me get this straight... Counterfeiters are going to produce coins with perfect die cracks & many other almost microscopic imperfections to...
Strongly agree. I'd rather have a nice MS65 1912 than a HR MS64+ HR's do look nice in hand but I never really cared for the scowl. Also...I have...

[IMG] [IMG] I think I did pretty well at $2160 but not quite as good as Alexthegreat's rip. It looks like there might be some PVC under her...
Some good news... Gold processing folks are getting back to work. Maybe it will keep the gold bugs from eyeballing our numismatic stuff....
Coincidentally, I just snagged a 24 off E-bay an hour ago. GTG w/o cheating & I'll tell you the price tomorrow. Click pic. to enlarge [IMG]

It's a full point over graded but 66+ price is only $3500 and this 24 is very interesting looking. So far as CAC goes, JA would throw it at the...
It graded high because 24's are BORING! Can you imagine having to grade common saints between 63-65 all day. This one has character but I agree...
23-P sometimes have a lot of copper spots. 23-D often have a lot of toning that is evenly distributed. I like both & yes the coin above is...
66 because of 2 marks on breast, 2 marks on eagle & small amount of friction. They are hard on 24's because of population. Price just wet up Apr...
It looks like the counterfeiter was going for a modern gold eagle (obverse) and thought WTH... I'll toss a "21" on there & see who bites. (Check...
It's a 13-S so I'm going to give it the "rarity pass" on mint state. OGH 60 today 62
That's a very nice one. There are a bunch of C coins in 14-S for some reason so it isn't a real easy date/mint. interesting/cool die scratch on...
[IMG] A little bite out of the rim but the obverse should carry it. The columns on the capital are a good thing to look at. The 1907/1908 NM...
