Silver bicentennials, circ and proof strikes are worth keeping. There are probably some errors and varieties to watch for.
Just wondering... are there specific dealers that I should go to for selling coins? I also want to trade coins that I have to subsidize purchases,...
In other news, I recently purchased raw, a 1913 MPL and a 1900 proof IHC. I checked the die diagnostics and verified the 1913 MPL here. I...
So... was this coin ever sent back to PCGS? I think I missed it but it seems that it wasn't sent back. I went through the vast majority of the...
I believe there's only one option. The right side of that third digit is round and goes all along the side. So, it's either a 0 or a 9. It can't...

Wow, you have that a lot of cents in your yard. Did you have a Lincoln themed pinata party?
I think the difference in thought is that I'm thinking of cameos as an absolute defined range as opposed to a single alterable reference point....
Deflation then. True. Here's the obverse photo of the coin taken by NGC. It's definitely toned over and looks less convincing of a cameo, but...
By the way, NGC gave this grade for that 1893 proof Morgan that I posted. It's part of the reason why I'm a bit confused. With a coin like that,...
I always thought that cameo designations were absolute and not relative. So, today's proofs may almost always exceed the levels of the deepest...
I would say that we should send our submissions by working around the new coin release dates by the various Mints, but it seems that there's a...
The language used for assigning various levels of cameo on proofs in many of the grading guides and from the TPGs, are vague and "self-evident",...
Thanks everyone!
Does this look authentic? I believe it's a 1/4 Sovereign size that was mounted onto a ring. The letter devices don't appear as sharp as what I'd...

My initial point was that one of the bottlenecks is the transition period from when the coins get sent to the graders for grading. It is in my...
The coins are marked as received and the date is marked. The date is then changed a second time, which is when the invoice date starts.
I'm going to go with straight PO 1. Varying degrees of scratches occur in circulation so it's expected and considered when grading. The example...
I'm talking about the congestion with respect to keeping the turnaround time the same. With an increase in submissions, NGC has historically been...
