Thanks for the responses. My buyer's bias puts it more in the AU camp. If you look at auction archives, TPGs seem all over the place in the...
I dug up the seller images. I'll weigh in a bit later. [ATTACH]
Things are slow so toss me a grade, any grade. Picked it up 6 years ago and was watching another one on GC. [ATTACH]
This is such an accurate take. If normal collectors stop collecting the series, nobody cares what the "key dates" are. Speculators are left...
It's funny that another one of these popped up on the NGC forum yesterday too. Although it's hard to say for sure from images, I'd be 99.999% sure...
My bank account used to start with 09. They got bought and the new bank doesn't have leading zeros, so now it's just 9. It took them a couple days...
Frightening. "In London, his house at 36 Craven Street, which is the only surviving former residence of Franklin, was first marked with a blue...
I don't know the diagnostics on these but just a casual observation - to me it looks like someone mushed the D in an effort to turn it into a No D.
Nice. I get the feeling that some of these can only display it on a screen. Either that or people haven't figured out how to do that. Which is why...
Yes, if coins of a particular series go up say 10%, the key dates logically do the same. You just net more from 10% of a $10k coin than 10% of a...
Do these USB or whatever microscopes not have the ability to save a native image that can then be posted somewhere? I'm curious, because this...
Which stock should you buy? Well, the one I already own, of course.
It's just truth in advertising. They're letting you know that you're flushing your money.
Good news! Did they give you a sense of value or didn't you raise the topic? Harlan Berk brings back memories - the first coins I ever purchased...
No expert, but looking at the TrueView https://www.pcgs.com/cert/43686087 MS63 seems fair. There's a lot of tiny chatter in the fields. Might get...
For what it's worth I don't see anything wrong with either cent. PCGS auction results on the 1931-S don't show much of a spread between VF30 and...
Same auction where I got mine. The 1901-S mentioned in the article (I think) was also sold but one coin was enough for my budget.
Owning a plate coin would be special @Publius2 . The closest I come is this 1903-S dime from the McCloskey collection. He wrote about his...
And they're going to have to keep a table of old and new numbers so they can connect the customers to their history. Which means they can still...
Lots of fun coins! The 1877-S T$1 caught my eye for the circcam and lack of chopmarks. Which one is your favorite?
