No, I much prefer raw. That way they match the rest of my 50 plus year old collection. Plus, that way I can actually see the entire coin, not...
First purchase of 2017...not real sure why--I'm just a little nuts about 1827, I guess. Just received and haven't busted out of the slab yet.
No, coin investing may be dead, coin collecting would be just fine. It existed for 2500 years before TPGs, it would continue to exist post TPGs.
Quite the clash. I've seen stronger on business strikes, but I don't remember ever seeing even light clashing on proof coins.
Not willing to guess for any of the TPGs. They are all too wishy-washy from one time to the next on the same coin (let alone on how they grade...

The Boy Scouts have a merit badge for coin collecting. I have been a volunteer counselor for the past 15 years and watched at least 3 or 4 boys a...
Compared to most of the world, yes.
Neither is the "rich man's DD". It is a variety. It is exactly what SHOULD result from using that particular die.
At the current bid...sure. At a possible future bid of $200.00...no. Somewhere in between...maybe.;)
Not nearly as long as it took to find the money to pay for it. Most U.S. "keys" are actually fairly common--merely expensive.
Nice looking low-ball. IMO, yours is a PO-1. (Actually, it's more a case of I don't think that it has enough detail left to make FR-2) I think...
That's what I got my wife---tickets to see Neil in April.
Separate names with a comma.
