Seems to me that based on what they are saying, delays make perfect sense. They couldn't start minting the last run until after the last sale...
That's not the kind of model I clinked on this thread for.
I would guess these re-polished die marks are similar to what we call striation marks in the granite world. These are basically caused by tooling...
I am just going to respectfully disagree. I enjoy most of your posts so I will end it here.
Let me translate how I took what you said. "You guys are a bunch of cheap skates trying to buy coins under fair market value. Why are you taking...
Maybe the owner has too much overhead, takes more salary than he can afford, has too much inventory. Maybe he needs some quick cash or the coin...
I actually like the coin you bought. Was it overpriced? Probably. What I don't like is you relying on a dealer to tell you the grade and if it's a...
Where ya headed?
Well, I guess if I'm the only one to think this could be part of their business model, then my brain is even more sinister than I thought.
Are you messing with me? I was being rhetorical. I have thirty five cents in my pocket that isn't slabbed so yeah I'm pretty much aware that not...

This is like calling a contractor over to your home to inspect the foundation. He says that you have a problem and writes up an estimate. You...
My answer is no. That would not be unethical at all. People I feel generally respect the opinion of the top two TPG's and use their slabs as...
I don't think I'm confused. TPG's only get it right when they grade it as the owner was expecting. If not they got it wrong for a multitude of...
Here is my opinion. The price of silver shot to almost $50 an ounce. Coin roll hunting took off like crazy. People ordering up to fifty boxes a...
True. Each TPG has their reputation and rightfully so. This is irrelevant though when discussing if it is unethical of a coin owner to crack open...
Sorry. already sent it. I'm done.
I can't guarantee it would have or not. I can however guarantee you will never find out.
