Yes, in this TPG world, one basically assumes all raw coins have already been rejected by TPG for the high grades unless it comes in the original...
The only way a silver state quarter would be in a roll is if someone breaks up a SILVER proof set, (most proof sets are not silver), and put it in...
Kind of the reason I have always been hesitant on certain early items, like aes rude and the earliest electrum pieces. I prefer a little more...
Much sir. I am a lesser collector for not having the luxury of knowing the great experts in Europe. Fully agree. They were ancient coin experts...
Sorry if I offended you. Many people besides us read this, I simply wanted to clarify the NGC are great experts, but simply not the definitive...
There are many more sir, especially authors of major corpus on series. My point of naming some off the top of my head was to refute your assertion...
Really? Curtis Clay, Harlan Berk, Victor England, Kerry Watterstrom, etc are all inferior to Barry and David? If I want an opinion on Roman Egypt,...
I agree. I would highly suggest commenting on the round only please if this wants to stay up. We all have opinions. Mine is both sides sucked last...

Man I love Cointalk. Excellent post sir, thank you.
Except for the tiny fact that NGC explicitly states they are not guaranteeing authenticity. I have used TPG for authenticity for US coins even...
Clearly Roman Republican denarius. I am certain others here can give you the exact attribution. Head of Roma, chariot reverse. Concentrate on the...
From what I heard, it was Gitbud and Naumann separately, then they joined for a while, but not Naumann now has nothing to do with Gitbud and...
The D I recognize I believe from the 32 D quarter. It always has that indented look to it. The O I do not see anything wrong with it at first...

Separate names with a comma.
