Not the ones who wanna learn a ridiculously simple crackout technique. ;)
I remain a PCGS user for everything non-ancient, but am glad to be freed of the plastic headaches for at least part of my collection. Which isn't...
Because, and... Because. ;)
Animated GIF images of the technique added to the original post. One year to the day later! I work slowly. :p
Here is my primitive but effective "no tools" slab crackout technique, described in an earlier thread. It may look funny, but is quick,...
Sooner. The only reason you aren't looking at a pile of plastic sherds in the first picture above is because I'm waiting until I have someone to...
I came to a crossroads recently. After the recent purge and subsequent newps I made last month, I have five ancients in NGC slabs (one of them...

@ValiantKnight must have used a different kind of citrus juice to clean this one. ;) (*That is a joke, though I will admit that the first time I...
I think he's just a generic "Roman". At first glance I wondered if perhaps this wasn't just another neoclassical rendering of Napoleon, but no, I...
PS- if it is closer in diameter to a US cent than a quarter, then you have a 1799 farthing rather than a halfpenny. Though the date is not fully...
It is a rather damaged British halfpenny from 1799. The bad news is that in that condition, it is worth only about $1 USD or less as-is. It is a...
Separate names with a comma.
