Well, the way I see it, it is all about perspective. Take this example, A guy hits on a girl at work. If the girl likes the guy is is innocent...
Like others have said, Heritage Auctions is the place to go for prices on slabbed coins. I used it extensively, and never bother with the...
TPG's grade dipped coins all the time. It is only the ones that were not dipped properly, that do not get slabbed. While you are correct, they...
?? What exceptions? For the purpose of coin grading, the terms harshly cleaned and improperly cleaned are interchangeable. The IHC in...
IMO = In My Opinion IMHO = In My Humble Opinion TPG = Third Party Grading Service I am not sure what a dealer would change but you can send it in...
That is the toughest to see, but don't mistake stronger for sharper. The first 2 is thicker but look close and it is not sharper. The second two...
You should definitely get the '22 slabbed. In addition to authenticating it, it needs to be confirmed as the No D Strong reverse. There are some...
Sounds like they are most likley authentic. Congrats on a great little haul. Mike
One more thing, These pennies are all highly counterfeited, so if you got them for a deal, that was too good to be true, it probably was. You...
I would go with 1909-S VG 1914-D VF 1922 F That is quite the nice haul of pennies. The first one is a token, that was struck on a genuine cent...
Well, it official, I am blocked from his items also. I bid $32 on a Canadian dime he had listed $60. I also had a stupid offer and was told to...

This whole thread amazes me. A quantity of one always makes something rare. Demand has absolutely nothing to do with rarity. Let's take the...
Not only are there plated fakes, there are total counterfeits and altered date fakes. BTW, yes they do sound different. You probably have a...
One interesting piece of trivia on the subject. For the 1964 90% silvers dimes, quarters and halves, they actually minted the 90% type up until...
XF-45 If it was attributed, it is an O-114 which is an R3 (scarce) that has an estimated 200-500 surviving pieces. Mike
LOL, Does it have the rare "C" mint mark? Mike
Here is one of mine. Not for everyone's taste because of the dippity doo, but it is re-toning with a nice gold patina, and this shows what they...
McBlzr, I know this is unsolicited, but I thought you might want to know, that your '32 CBH is not the Large Letter variety. The Large Letter...
A big plus 1 on that. I am probably one of the few collectors that does not go for sets and the like. I roughly have a VERY ragged type set,...
