BRIC: Brazil: lots of problems, too export-reliant on raw materials and oil. Handling of PetroBras was a disaster the last 10 years. Russia:...
I was being sarcastic, I actually agree with JeffB. Most people who focus on these tit-for-tat currency items ignore the need for BROAD and DEEP...
I guess that's because so many key/top dates are only in PCGS slabs. If the PCGS Premium fades, and more top-coins are in NGC holders, maybe PCGS...
It helps the hobby which directly/indirectly helps PCGS. It's a narrow, self-interested POV, IMO.....I hope they reconsider. As I said, I have...
When did NGC open their registry to PCGS ? What is PCGS's response to why they won't reciprocate ?

MCMVII High Relief Flat Rim PCGS MS66: Sold for $74,500 ($83,813 including bp.) this past Sunday on GC. 18 bidders, 76 bids. Flat edge and...

Probably the latter.....but there are still some eyeraisers. A 1-grade jump is understandable over time, but 2-grades ? Check out the Franklin...
Any comparable PCGS coins sold lately to compare it to ? It could also just be a very strong coin market right now with Covid, stay-at-home,...
Excellent point.....and congrats on the strong pricing !
I think "heavy hitters" (serious collectors with 6 or 7-figure collections) are very attuned to prices for the coins they collect. And I think...
I see more and more threads here and on other sites talking about gradeflation and misses by PCGS. My understanding -- and I wasn't there, I'm...
But that assumes the coins are ALL exactly alike and/or interchangeable. That's not necessarily the case. No doubt the premium is real and...
Still the case, but I think the premium has come down in recent years.
