Will it tell us how many thousands of times we have had the "PCGS vs. NGC" debate here? :dead:
The southwest to northeast parallel lines over the cheek area of pictures 3 and 4 are clearly slab scuffs. I have seen dozens of NGC slabs like...
Been on the prowl for this coin for a couple years. These aren't as easy to find as the mintage would suggest (raw or otherwise). The horizontal...
Our argument, if I recall, was that for a gouge on a coin to be the size of what looked like a staple scratch, the shovel would have had to be...
Doug, I was making a comical reference to one of your posts from probably 3 years ago when you said that a coin's damage was likely from a shovel....
Three new pieces of exonumia for my collection. :cool: [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
There is no way to make such definitive statements based on those pictures. Simple as that. Doug said the coin looked wiped. I don't see it....
Despite what the NGC label says, this coin commemorates the Roman poet Horace not the Egyptian god "Horus". :D The satiny surfaces of the...
It's beyond their control -- right -- just like when food particles or hair or some other thing is on the coin from their grading room that then...
Doug, I don't see any signs of "wiping". I see two microscopic possible luster breaks (that could just as easily be slightly funny lighting at a...
Clearly scratches on the slab (not the coin), as they go beyond the coin itself. [IMG]
Doug's "anniversaries" of 1,000 posts come pretty often, so you'll get a chance to catch the next one. ;) At his current average rate of 9.16...
What bothers me more about this particular eBay seller than anything else is his unabashed juicing of images. He has been doing it for years, and...
Here's my 1958-D 66FBL graded by NGC. The 58-D is readily available with nice toning and of true 66 quality -- I hope someone doesn't get hosed...
A couple newer medals that I finally got around to photographing. [IMG] [IMG]
I did this one a few years back for independence day... [IMG]
Rotated dies are pretty common on CWTs. My most prominent one is this one: [IMG]
May be for someone else...but...in my humble opinion, that is quite possibly the most hideous and ridiculous thing I have ever seen. And, I have...
LostDutchman is spot on. The market for this variety is extremely thin, and the prices are erratic at best. I am a serious Sacagawea collector,...
Quite lovely, with nice amounts of luster remaining. I think your story would be more effective had we actually seen "before" images you took,...
Separate names with a comma.
