Because if the label and the professional both say that a coin is an MS65 and I think it's an MS63, I'm not going to be able to convince the...
No argument on that, and as it should be. I don't expect them to know that. If anybody submits the coin -- in OGP or not -- they'll at least get...
It seems like virtually all of the books on ancient coins were written/published a few decades ago, mostly 1970's and 1980's. Were the coins more...
Great thread, got me thinking....any other NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC magazines with articles/pics on U.S. or world coins over the years ?
If you like them....then why not ? That's what I do, BTW.
It IS a pricey coin, unfortunately. We've discussed why the price is so "high" considering there are thousands available. Clearly, many...
For the 1907 High Relief, there's some threads here at CT and also a thread on Roger Burdette's fantastic SAINT-GAUDENS DOUBLE EAGLE book which is...
The Fed isn't responsible for the national debt, that is a fiscal matter. The post-WW II inflation from 1946-81 is responsible for most of the...
Ultimately, BitCoin is just a private IOU traded online and digitally. At least with gold, I have a precious metal. I can also buy coins which I...
Check out these 3 MS66 No Motto Saints. Ignore the labels at first, if you can. I have large closeups of 2 of the coins but not the 3rd. All...
The Fed was created to modify and reduce the severity of previous recessions -- "panics" -- and by most accounts it has accomplished that goal...
But that's tough/impossible to do, GD. I mean....if I see a coin that I really like and then see that the actual grade is far lower, my first...
Heavily-bagged coins are still MS, we agree on that. Right ?:D
I totally agree with you. The term "stolen" is a loaded term used by the Feds. The Langbord's deserve the coins and if I ever get a public forum...
Nothing goes up forever -- except TSLA and BitCoin :D -- but even GDJMSP thinks that the world coin market is getting overheated. But I don't...

Get to some smaller local coin shows once they re-open. Then try a larger, regional show (not sure where you live). Eventually, you'll want to...
GSA THOUGHT they were the highest quality, but all (virtually all ?) of the coins WERE in fact uncirculated -- right ? They probably got confused...
1933's ? I don't think so since they would have had to have gone to the Philadelphia Mint to get them and they would then have their name/order...
I have an 1883-CC in a Carson City / Uncirculated Silver Dollar plastic holder. Maybe it has a chance of grading 1 or 2 higher than the MS62/63...
