Yesterday (Tuesday, June 17) I received the early bird notice from CRO around 10:59am. Usually I'm not somewhere where I can take a look at the...
I almost always snipe at whatever I feel to be a fair bid. I "set it and forget it". If I don't win, then oh well, there will be another coin...
Just an FYI: I'm pretty sure eBay got rid of the "front and back of the holder" rule sometime last year. The current rules no longer include...
IT's completely authentic...and that's a mighty decent looking Carolus III 8 Reales. Someone got a very nice deal on that one IMO. Has a lot of...
It is because of posts like this one by TomB that I wish there were a "love" button. Very concise and completely spot on! :cool:
Are you sure? CAC doesn't sticker ancients. :D :eek:

The most important thing in coin grading in consistency, not strictness. If the same company can't call the same coin the same numerical grade...

You don't seem to be having problems with this, but another common problem people have with coin photographs is that the sensor and the flat...
Beyond a certain point, macro lenses are diffraction limited. That is, there is a sweet spot of sharpness beyond which you do not want to stop...
I also like high grade coins, but I don't like to pay insane money for them. I'm willing to pay up for a great coin, but I purchased the coin...
Between NGC and PCGS, there are more than 450 graded examples of the 1880-S in MS68. There are 10 graded MS69 between the two companies. More...
Is that price on the reverse sticker for real? $6K for this (?), or is that a wishful dealer sticker? For a coin as common as they come, that's...
More than 1, less than 100.
If graded by Doug, it's an MS63....maybe. :D
I picked up a little token of the EPN legacy. A fun little 6-pence token from around 1810, listed as Davis-29. Has some character for sure. [IMG]
NGC also has registry sets -- that allow both NGC and PCGS coins -- so I'm not sure what that has to do with anything. The last time a study of...
And...none of these biases and old-wives-tales apply to anything outside of USA coins. NGC is much more consistent in world coin grading, and has...
CAC is first and foremost a company that gets to identify coins that they themselves are willing to make a market in on one of their coin...
Separate names with a comma.
