Thanks Adam.
That is a fairly common misconception. The major grading companies don't typically claim that toning/eye-appeal has no effect on a coin's grade....
That's a great plan (not really), but for the fact that (I'm guessing) 1) you probably don't have $25,000,000 in reserve to offer a guarantee on...
I got that, because, based on your reasoning, if it's only about the coin, it would seem that crossover service is also "grading the graders",...
Adam, I take it from your comments that you don't believe in trying to crossover any coins either?
Thank you for your service. Yes, you have the right to disagree, as we all do. And I disagree that a picture of a coin is necessarily worth a...

I seriously doubt that non-CAC coins will go the way of raw coins. After all, they are still NGC or PCGS certified coins, backed by grading and...

You seem to make a habit of declaring that a discussion is over when someone points out that you have posted incorrect information or says...
You don't have to pay 10%-50% more for the sticker, and you are free to judge a coin for yourself, regardless of whether it is a CAC (or any other...
It is generally unwise and unfair to assert that a coin is a given grade, at best, based on your only having viewed it on-line. Obviously many...
A couple of points in reply to your comments... When there are large differences in value between two grades, even among knowledgeable buyers and...
Paul, I wasn't saying that you need to back out the 15% buyer's premium to come up with the "value" of the coin", but you do need to back it out...
You need to ask them - I have no idea.:confused:

No maybe about it.
One other thing to keep in mind....... Even if, for example, they have been bringing $265 in Heritage sales, that means the hammer prices have...
Separate names with a comma.
