All good points! And I think it’s fine to ask if someone will consider an offer (and wait for their reply before making an offer).
I’ve seen some out there. Some are deserved while others make you wonder.
I agree with that. If someone makes an offer, it can show some research or thinking (not always, but often enough). When I just see the best price...
I might have to try that once in a while. :p
To add, I’m usually ok with someone negotiating (unless it’s something already priced well below market or something like bullion at/below spot)....
I like 3/4 of the coin but the quadrant to the left of the chin up to the left of Liberty (~8 o'clock to 11 o'clock) bothers me. Is it a stain or...
This phrase seems to have been around for a while but I'm noticing more people asking it lately (at least with me). What are your thoughts about...
Bumping this for anyone else that wants to guess.

MS 66 ...TruViews can be iffy as I’ve seen some that do a good job of minimizing the contact marks....I’m assuming this one is accurate and this...

@Pickin and Grinin what did you think about your Kennedy (star worthy)? If anyone else wants to comment on it, please find the picture on page 30...
Some items, like FBL Franklins, NGC is definitely stricter. However, with Cameo Proofs coins, I don't really see one being clearly stricter than...
@Justin Lee was closest and can post the next coin. This was an interesting example as it was completely new for most of us. Sounds like you got a...
I've seen worse get straight graded at PCGS (and NGC). If someone sent it for a crossover, I could see it not crossing (but it would be hard to...
Once a coin has a straight grade, too many people look past the issues. The PLUS with STAR combo is especially a combo that draws a premium.
Summary: Rd. 1: 1955-S MS 64 1c (NO Star) --> Should it star? -->Yes: 2 vs No: 11 Rd. 2: 1885-O MS 65 $1 (NO Star) —>Should it star? —> Yes: 4 vs...
That is a nice Kennedy to put in an album. However, I would not consider it star worthy or grade worthy (at least based on the pictures).
Separate names with a comma.
