I have discussed this "favoritism" topic with a few dealers and they have all echoed Doug's comments. As I understand it, PCGS and NGC have...
That would be a great coin show promo though: "This year only at Coinblast!! PCGS bringing all their graders prone to overgrading!!" Might cause...
Definitely for the fun -- I have sold enough of my coins to know it isn't for the profit. The only time I am in it for the investment potential...
Mark would know. As another data point, the CRO guys, who I like and respect a lot, never seem that thrilled with their grades at shows, at least...
Shane Is this the one you were agonizing over? I saw your thread over on CU. It's a great piece -- enjoy it!
Tommy, Unlike others, I would say go ahead and buy some of the coins you're interested in. If you make some mistakes, you'll realize it later on....
Great post! I only want to deal with dealers who at their core love coins. At times, you come across dealers who have little passion for their...
You got ZZ Top as the opening act? I am jealous! We had my morning jacket as the opener in New Jersey. In any event, as I promised you, the show...
Kanga Did you try the classifieds here? Seems a good first option for coins like those.

Nice 1877 replacement. Thanks for sharing.
Great post and congratulations on the set. The proof Ikes have a real nice look -- thanks for sharing!:thumb:
Glad you had a positive experience. I enjoy going to shows when I can and find that if you take the time to talk to some dealers, many of them...
Nice coins --love the 1806. I assume Bob is Robec.
1. Have a good time. 2. Work on buffalos, walkers, commem's 3. Stay in the vicinity of my coin budget. 4. See Goal number 1.:thumb:
I like 8x. Large enough to see what I need but still able to view the entire obverse or reverse at once.
I'm with RaceBannon. My vote is for Fraser's Buffalo on the reverse of the BUFFALO nickel (how often does a coin become commonly known after what...
I agree with you, Mike. As the McCullagh matte proof Lincoln set shows, RB can be stunning. If I ever start collecting copper, I would think...
Thanks for posting this. I am on PCGS's website a lot but I hadn't noticed it. The color designations have always been confusing to me and this...
