I have known Tom and Chris at N.E. Numismatics for years and do business with them at many shows. They are good guys and quite easy to deal with.
I agree - it looks nothing like a Proof.
Coincidentally or otherwise, I bid, sight-seen on all of the above except for the Peace Dollar. I was blown out of the water in my bid for the...
Despite whatever marks it bears (and they don't seem nearly as bad to me as they do to you), the coin looks to have little, if any wear. I don't...
It seems like an OK buy at that price, BUT, the coin looks to have some really bad marks on Liberty's face, the focal point. You could probably...
The coin looks AU58 to me. Uncirculated Morgan dollars are extremely plentiful, and often can be bought for the price you have paid for what might...

I viewed the current Heritage sale in Dallas earlier this week, then reported back to some clients regarding coins they had asked about and/or...
They don't ask much on the application, because they don't want to make it too difficult for collectors to be able to submit. At the same time,...
John Albanese founded CAC, reviews every coin submitted to them and is the finalizer. The other two individuals who evaluate most of the coins...
Unfortunately, my observations and experiences have been very different. I have reported and/or seen others report counterfeits , which, in many...
They might "respond" in the sense of replying via a form-letter style email. However, there are far too many times when they clearly do not take...
No, the auction houses you mentioned don't have the problems with large numbers of counterfeits that Ebay does. And, unlike Ebay, they have...
Where's all the hype that you referenced? I don't see it in my dealings.
I think they just hope that potential members have some basic knowledge of coins and submitting them for review and are responsible.
You rang? :D I can't tell either way from the images, but am not convinced the coin is worn. What looks as if it MIGHT be wear could be strike,...
I see no evidence of cleaning, based on the images provided.
