Who won this time, this guy! :p They have some saying about a broken clock and twice a day, right....:D
@mlov43 if you want to battle it, you have to go higher up and see if you can get someone on the phone instead of the chat (which can be difficult...
In my comment, I meant someone was delusional enough to believe it was a top grade of 68 or 69. We see it with some of the new people (some of...
I would guess on of the following: ~Someone was overly confident it was a high grade ~Someone needed to fill out an order ~Someone was selling off...
That happens too as certain coins were harshly judged originally or the graders decided to not punish a weak strike upon regrading.
Good answer! I also would not pay that much for a 70 graded Eagle but the market has said they do bring a significant premium. There is a base of...
AU 58 for a long time was considered a good value grade. The reason being is that you could find MS 64-65 quality coins with a hint of wear that...
Very cool!
I've been waiting for a while to unload the silver proof state quarters that I used to get from the US Mint. If we ignore inflation and...
For this coin, it really does not make sense. There are lowball collectors that will pay a significant premium for the lowest straight graded...
VF 20 is my guess
You might have to call back and see if you can get another representative. The rules suggest that you should be protected from negative feedback....
Looking at Paramount, they did some of both as you can find the MS 60 and the MS 65 slabs graded MS 63 by NGC. What did they intend to do? That is...
Here are two examples I just found on eBay: 1) Paramount holder say 65 but NGC says 63 [IMG] [IMG] 2) Paramount says 65 and NGC agrees [IMG] [IMG]
Paramount can be hit or miss. They were chosen to help sell the Redfield Hoard and would put the coins in slabs saying MS 65 or MS 60. Later they...
Most Unc 1964 Kennedy halfs aren't worth grading. Even in MS 66, you can buy them for $60 or less in NGC holders. Dealers that send 100+ can get...
UPS or FedEx are your next options. Both tend to cost more. You can go on each website and they should have calculators that let you plug in what...
40% silver is only the 1965-1970 (plus 1976) Kennedy Halfs. The 1965-1967 were part of special mint sets so those are not considered "true" proof...
I agree with all of these points. The discounts happened for a reason. And like you said, there can still be a profit made on these coins but it...
@The Half Dime please let us know the grade
