Wow. Darken the first one up a little and how would anyone tell? If I bought slabbed US coins, it would scare the bejesus out of me. :( Maybe in...
Just a few questions @calcol , if there is something like metal to prevent a SDB from being read, (security concern), wouldn't the same prevent a...
I tend to buy colonials in PMG or PCGS, (mostly PMG). I buy the note, so do not care what the grade is from the TPG, but since the types of notes...
Maybe part of the hobby. Those parts not needing TPG might benefit. I agree it's a major concern. I have seen the better fakes, and entombed in...
Photographs can be tricky. I see gouges, yet when I cross my eyes a little I see them raised. I think you can see either in the photo based upon...
Nvm
Where did you purchase it? I would start there. Dealers usually are more open to buy from customers they sold to.
Lol I am there too. I have "profit" in my pm purchases, but I want the coins/pm more than I want the money. Now, if it spiked very high I MAY be...
I think you caught the low sir. 340 GBP is about the rock bottom for that grade, and have been going up IMHO.
IF anyone really cared about silver or gold. Why should an economy be tied to a commodity? If it were, why gold or silver? Why not the price of...
I do not like slabs much, with my US coins all being unslabbed, (bought them years ago when good coins still survived "in the wild"), but I agree...
I am guessing upgrades went clockwise? Both lower ones very nice.
True, sorry. I was thinking of the Amisos issues since I happened to have one in my hand 10 minutes before I wrote that. You are very correct...
Sure, hold us accountable to how dealers grade. That makes sense. THe same never happened in US coins before TPG ever either, right? Dealers NEVER...
I am sure the TPGs can eventually try to get some RFID chip package, with high res photos, etc to protect high end coins. What I am worried about...
Agreed. Adjustment marks will be parallel to each other. Coins of Amisos under Mithradates IV were HORRIBLY adjusted for some reason, (especially...
I agree. It can happen. Some people do not like this part of the hobby. They feel nervous a new hoard could be found and they "lose money". Eh, it...
Its a flaw in the designation of the grading system. The US grading system made an artificial contrivance to split coins into two groups,...
My points are not silly at all, it is you who cannot get it out of your head your US coin grading indoctrination. What is a "grade"? It is a...
But WHY. You and @TypeCoin971793 keep repeating something, this huge "difference" between circulated and non-circulated. You act like this was...
