Now that's about as definitive as it's ever going to get! Thanks, @ddddd, for posting that and ending my uncertainty. Now, maybe I can get you...
Nice coin. I'd like to have that one.
Every major auction house (Heritage, Legend, Stacks, Great Collections, etc.) has a set of terms and conditions for buying and selling that is...
Are there any parallels with coin collecting that we could use as indicators that our hobby faces some of the same headwinds?
I went to the CAC website and clicked the "Pop/Price Report" button, selected "Capped Bust Half Dimes" and then selected the button labeled...
I don't speak authoritatively by any means, but I believe it is the same for circulated coins as it is for MS coins: To merit a gold bean, the...
I've never been a stamp collector but the appeal, I imagine, is much like that of coin collecting: history, artistry, economics, etc. So, with...

As often noted elsewhere on this Forum, the TPGs don't follow the ANA Grading Guide. Here's an example where they differ. This is my 1937...

My local coin club currently has four active YNs among the crowd of old, white members. The YNs are all excited and are at every meeting. There...
The scratches/hairlines are not on the holder, they are on the coin and I mentioned them in the original post. They are so small that they can't...
Up for your consideration is a 1832 half dime, die marriage LM-12. It is in an NGC slab, graded AU-58. Photos are mine and are pretty...
Well, I do all my attribution from photographs. When I get the coin, I take high-resolution photos with my DSLR setup and then use Photoscape to...
