Good question and this was a great answer. You really have to study the history of the mints, the coinage and the politics in play to understand...
They may not be consistent. I often times find it amazing looking at MS-65s and MS-66s side by side how little difference there can be and wonder...
Last call! :loud:
Look them up online and see which one looks the most interesting. One will probably be bigger than another. That was rather poor planning on...
Not much you can do for them. There's always "little old ladies" that slip through the cracks somehow and turn in a batch of stuff like this to...
*(Record scratch)* How old is she? What does she look like? Are you single? Is she single? More on the coin later. ;) (Sorry. I guess...
Yeah. If it's fake it'll be bagged. You'll know it. If it slabs, you're good to go.
I'd say it's not uncommon. Last year I purchased an NGC star, toned Morgan from a guy. We communicated back and forth quite a bit discussing...
Wow. Thanks for sharing this. As others have said, there's no way to say that $3 is legit from here but it sure looks like it has a chance. It...

Wow! Some beautiful guns in this thread. I collect them as well. Here's a couple of my favorites. That is a 30 rnd mag in the Glock and it does...
Anybody here going this Sunday? Supposed to be 80 dealers from around the country. I'm planning on being there at some point. Have had this one on...
Yeah, "just a kid". I guess whatever he does is ok as long as you guys aren't the ones getting ripped off by him! :rolleyes: You don't have to...
You can look up slab numbers to verify authenticity on NGC and PCGS. I'm a member (for free) at NGC and can login and look up an NGC serial # any...
That didn't take long. The "industry" must have gotten to him when he decided to crack out the AU 3-legger and sell it as MS. 'Could have...
All you need to know about the star designation from NGC themselves: http://www.ngccoin.com/coingrading/stardesignation.asp The key is,...
