A resubmission makes sense if the estimated probability of the upgrade, multiplied by the added value of the upgrade is greater than the grading...
While that might be true, I am constantly amazed at the coins that are resubmitted and how many times they are resubmitted. Often, it is NOT a...
I'm not so sure that I agree with that. The more over-graded coins there are, in a sense, the more that becomes the standard (and over-graded...
Thanks - I wasn't aware of that. And if that's the case, I understand where YOU are coming from.;)
Why do you think he could or should return the coin, considering it has been removed from whatever holder it was in when he bought it and the time...
They look to have obvious wear on them.
My guess is that the government wanted the coins certified as a prelude to a possible settlement. Regardless, I wouldn't assume that NGC charged...
Those images don't allow for a good look at the coin. But, it looks to have a lot of hits on it and I'dguess between AU55 and MS60. It still looks...

I think this could mean that a settlement regarding their ownership and disposition is in the works. Either way, this is good stuff!...
To me, the most obvious area is on Liberty's right leg (to viewer's left), above and to the right of the upper right hand corner of the shield.
Generally speaking, (just) golden toning on nickel coinage doesn't command any premium.
The coin looks to have light wear on each side, so my guess would be in the AU53 range. And the color doesn't look original, possibly from...
I sold the AU58 1853 Arrows & Rays Half Dollar below, recently, and I think it serves as a good example of what's being discussed. It has a bit of...
Since he already owns the coins, I see no reason for him to ask for grading opinions based on images, before he submits them. He is probably as...
The second coin certainly looks genuine to me. However, if the color portrayed in the image sis accurate, I believe it will body-bag for...
I agree.
We on the forum can only go by the images provided. And based on that, nothing said counterfeit to me.
I'm open to the possibility that the first one could be a counterfeit, though from what I can see, it looks OK. But I'm not open to the...
