I asked the same thing in another thread. The answer made sense, at least as much sense as the entire bean-chase subgenre. I'm still guessing a...
Adding 30 "points" of range to the Sheldon scale, and then just establishing a one-to-one correspondence between assignable grades in the old...
Well, that seems... yeah, what you already said. Maybe they realized that the math to map 10-point-scale grades into the registry rankings would...
I know the 28-P has fallen out of favor in recent years, but man, that one's a beauty! I expect there'd be quite a fight over it if it ever goes...
Yeah, wouldn't that wreak havoc in the lowball registry competition? My collection certainly has a lot more coins in the "1.5 range" than the "9+...
Good news: you're only missing one year. There aren't any US quarters dated 1975 -- all the ones struck in 1975 had the Bicentennial design, and...
Do you have any reason to think that an X 10 is harder to get than a Sheldon 70? Besides the small numbers of X-slabbed coins in general? I can...
It might be a strike-through, or it might be some form of damage. Either way, I'm pretty sure it detracts rather than adding value. I've returned...
Yeah, as a US collector, I'd be more inclined to put together a team of lobbyists and/or a set of "campaign contributions" to get the dead...
I see the Loot Boxes, sorry, Vault Boxes as a desperate attempt to make the 10-point scale happen. I'm hoping the majority sees them the same way,...
I'm wondering the same. The "doubling" looks like simple reflection between the mirror field and the case, and the spot is just that -- a spot, a...
Then again, none of us are, even if we think we are. I'll be following the thread :)
I agree that it looks like fire damage, or maybe someone was practicing their welding/soldering skills.
Done, and greatly enjoyed. Also, I'll add that the last couple of times I wrote pieces this long, I got degrees out of them! (I was going to say...
Most people going in on this one probably have plenty of shirts to spare.
I think it would be pretty hard to sell or trade "80%" bars. And by the time you got done paying someone to refine $1850 worth of silver... I...
Yeah, I was playing "find six differences" with the images, too -- I haven't yet memorized the reverse types and PUPs for these. Kind of...
I thought someone said yesterday(?) that they'd already sold out?
For that, I think I'd start by thinking about ergonomics. Can't be crouching over a table or a microscope for that many coins, at least not in a...
Won't matter a bit if you find the right buyer who's both a note collector and a Rush fan.
