You should check out eBAY. A lot of the big dealers are frauds when it comes to lighting. Not all but there is a basketful I'm aware of. I'll buy...
Other than the cheek scratch it looks fine to me. ??
Very nice. I have no experience grading these. Looks awesome to me.
Thank you. I can almost do a complete Peace dollar set without buying a single coin, just need the 1921, and the 28's. I'll work on that later...
One day I'll post my complete graded set. Most are MS UNC except the really tough ones. I've still got a little ways to go. I'm mostly missing the...
Not weird, it's the OGH. Lots of collectors pay more for those because there is a general belief they are undergraded for the modern grading...
I saw this a couple of weeks or so ago in the news. The spot price of gold went UP that day it was reported. Go figure. :p
You can have a complete set without the 1895. There was no business strike for that year in P. Now if you want the 1895 proof, you could just...
I completely get that. There are some years/mint marks I have a half dozen of duplicate MS examples in my graded collection. VAMs also get my...
I believe you are correct. It's disappointing sometimes when a coin has brilliant luster but has a few flaws. Many times a high AU coin is more...
And that's how the addiction begins. 1878 is just the gateway drug. :p
When it gets that deep into the woods, I just throw my hands up and send it to John. I just got an 1887 O, MS62 + coin in hand today and it looks...
Your scope takes pretty good photos. Send it in to VSS and have John attribute it. 6 bucks plus postage and insurance. A really good deal for VAM...
I think my favorite was on Pawn Stars when a guy walked in with a 1888 O Morgan cracked die "Scarface" LDS VAM in high grade. I'm sure the whole...
Value is in the eye of the beholder. I don't like GSA slabs, but most of the time you are guaranteed the coin was never cleaned and only subject...
Sniping at night or on weekends is a futile effort. It's when the auctions expire at odd times during week days that it pays off. Of course, a...
I don't like the holders at all, but I'm not cracking them out. I just send the slab in for grading, and all TPGs will sticker them. But the slab...
Yes, that was my question. I paid less than a $100 for a 85 O in MS64. I can't remember if I bought it slabbed or had it slabbed. I'm scratching...
I get that most of these more valuable sets sold in the 70's were Carson City dollars and in mostly UNC grades. I have two of the CC GSA coins....
You will never hear me post squat about grading gold. That is pure sorcery, human sacrifice, dogs and cats sleeping together, mass hysteria! :eek:
