Another major factor - I'd like to know how many coins the canadian services grade in a year. I would like to see how they do if they handled the...
"stricter" doesn't mean "better". Anybody can low-grade a coin; I can take your MS64, poor-mouth it, and call it a VF25. As to whether the...
After reading the above responses, one word comes to mind - opportunistic. The coin market is opportunistic, both buying and selling. Know the...
Thank you, bhp, for taking the time to put together such a well thought-out answer. The beauty of it is this - it reveals the complexity of the...
It's easy to see why people complain about postage rates. FWIW, Canadian postage rates are much higher. They were 45c in 1997 and 57c now. Yes,...
We hear a lot of negative predictions from the likes of MSNBC, and virtually none of them ever come true. The PO is not going to shut down...

Outrageous ! HUGE congrats ! How exciting. :thumb:
No, I would hold off until you get a solid answer. You are definitely doing the right thing asking around. Though I can't answer your question,...

No, the Mint has not officially done such a thing. However, there are many cases in the 1800s where mint workers manufactured restrikes, mules,...
No way that thing's a 64. Gotta be 65 or better. I suppose if one shops around, one can find a Saint that good in a 65 holder. More likely,...
Here's something critically important to understand - the difference between TPG market grading and EAC grading. A coin graded by a TPG as XF45...
Sure, they're around. Here are two in the upcoming Heritage auction at ANA Fort Worth :...
Right-o; couldn't agree more. Perhaps a thought - we're all on a learning curve. One of the values of TPGs is they help newer folks get to a...
Congratulations ! How fabulous ! What the heck... I'll throw my nanme in the hat. Let's go with 49 nappies. 49 bundles of joy. 49 bundles of...
Maybe. Or not. There's no doubt France was very helpful; they played the card "The enemy of my enemy is my friend". Fighting a proxy war...
It's easy to see why the idea of TPGs in general sometimes comes up whenever CAC is discussed. They have a common thread - TPG grades and CAC...
I'm not sure that CAC is "raking it in". Last I heard submission fee was $10. They have a much, much lower volume than the big TPGs. I assure...
