Oh, no doubt. I commiserate with Ebay. Its a freaking mess, sales tax in the US both in terms of every single state having myriad different rules...
Yeah, I think @Insider is too involved in US coins and their mindset. For all US coins, unburied coins exist. For ancients, that simply is not...
Sure, but I am just commenting on how companies perceive this issue. If I do not collect the sales tax from the consumer I owe it, whereas if I...
They are more afraid of erring on the side of not taxing something and having the states go after them than upsetting a few individual buyers....
Like others have said, the () means its denoted but not on the coin. They figured our where each case was minted, and have the TPGs mark coins...
This is the "correct" answer to me. I judge all purchases on how much pleasure I consider it giving me. If I am willing to spend X right now to...
Mostly agree with @Insider . Highest quality seems to be most rewarded but with ancients style is also a huge concern. A fine style coin can...

Overall pleasant coin, but I would personally say the hit has to decrease its value. I would guess one grade level at least. While all circulated...
With all due respect, as you are one of the most revered members here sir, has any model been shown to have any predictive validity? Last I have...
Seriously, "climate change"? What clickbait. Everyone knows what led to it going extinct, not "climate change" but human destruction of the...
I understand sir. Of course most of us know majority of coin shop politics, and most of us old timers here just from your posts understand your...
Thank you. Better explanation than "double vice job" I said. Same idea, but better said.
I would agree based on my limited knowledge. I was thinking a double vice job at first, (vice job applied to another vice job as culprit), but...
I suggest anyone interested in pod duong coins to study how they were made. They were oval pieces where indentations were made on one side,...
I am assuming BU coins, not proof. Proof APE are a completely different series than the BU coins, and have never found 69 or unslabbed ones for...
