I assume you are referring to ART museums and museums with PAPER documents? I have never seen any reference to UV light causing any damage to...
If they are displayed in a temperature controlled house, with no direct sunlight, I don't see much reason to worry. So long as there is not a...
I don't think it's the "sun" that is causing what you're describing. It's likely a combination of the chemicals (plasticizers) leeching from the...
By the way, "slightly better" than VF is XF. XF by definition has wear on the cheek. the hair detail and the wheat look quite nice, even given...
I was being optimistic...I'm not sure why someone would even ask if they should slab a VF example of a 1917-D cent. :confused:
They are both nice coins, but I'm not sure grading would be worth it. You can buy an MS64BN example of the 1909 VDB for around $40 already...
Holy buckets Winged, that's a beautiful Matte Proof. When did PCGS start imaging coins with a black background? It's a much better look than the...
If you ever plan to part with it, let me know. That's the kind of "look" I like my IHCs to have. :)
Your "math" seems to be a little off: 20% off the mark for a $1.50 coin is $0.30. I don't think that kind of difference really makes a...
Matt, that's a very nice 1893. Is it graded about MS64 RB? Maybe 65RB? It has really nice surfaces and a very appealing mix of reds and browns!...
This one came today. [ATTACH]
Both of these came today! It was a good "horse" day! :) [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Haha, very true Doug. Just as an example of the bizarre nature of the article he states: "With inflation or hyperinflation, the price of most...
I would recommend NGC. As Collect89 stated, you may also get some opinions from people about whether it's worth having the coins graded/slabbed...

Wait until the baby-boomers all retire and require health-care and assisted living services. I think long term we are in dire straights. I am a...
I fear this thread will be "shut down" soon if we don't get back on track and away from this ****-bent political conversation....
Just to clarify, it is not a coin per se, it is an art "commemorative" bullion piece. I'm not sure if mintages are very well documented for such...
