Like SuperDave above, I have no limit on what I would pay for raw vs slabbed. I've spent well into the middle 4 figures raw and I've spent well...
There have been counterfeiters for as long as there have been coins. The hobby will survive the current ones. Are some new collectors driven...
Dipping is bad, mmmkay? No, dipping is actually sometimes healthy for the coin...OVERdipping is bad. The problem is knowing how much is too much.

The original racketeer nickels had carefully done reeded edges rather than plain which is usually the easiest way to tell. Incidentally, although...
Solid AU, IMO. The 113 didn't show great detail even when the dies were new--let alone after being worn out. This one came out of a PCGS 53...
Should an ebay seller disclose corrosion and tape from an album? I don't know. Should an ebay buyer disclose that he is about to rip a seller a...
