No offense to anyone, but this is why I think GTG is not as effective as it could be. Members are just guessing instead of using the images to...
I'm sure the coin is much nicer than the pictures show, but I only had the pictures to make a judgement. However, I did see the coin had amost...
I am particularly fond of the gold and seal scripts of the Song Dynasty. They are some of the most beautiful coins produced in imperial China.
Okay. "Guess what the TPG gave the coin." I kind of missed the purpose of these threads. I'm used to grading the coin and seeing how the grading...
I don't agree. I wouldn't be a buyer. Congrats on the result.
Definitely a choice AU-55 as far as details are concerned. Luster looked AU-53, while detail looked AU-58. This is one of the more-accurately...
I thought the same thing when I saw the level of detail left. However, the amount of luster remaining is more than that of any AU-50 CBH I have...
Because the TPG puts it on the label does not mean that it is right. MS means MINT STATE, which means no wear whatsoever. The practice which you...
I couldn't care less about the keys as I will never buy them for my collection (Investment, maybe). There are some things about the key date...

Very nice! Some of those CC's must have been a chore to obtain.
I think I see rub, which means AU-58. However, I can see a market grade of MS-62.
Have you ever wondered by you fill a book of the same-looking round hunk of metal whose only discernible difference is a slight difference in how...
Be that way. :p
I'm afraid I like the original design better. It looked a lot crisper, and Gem UNC FSB's can be had for less than $100. Now if I wan to be...
I hope it is just your pictures, but it still sure looks like a heavily polished EF-40/45. If that is how the coin looks in real life, then ANACS...
No, it is wear. This is how Bill Fivaz explained it to me: [ATTACH] I see the third type on the OP's coin.
I don't see why people are missing the obvious circulation rub, which I have circled in the photo. If you look at the discolored areas, especially...
I perfectly get where your coming from, but I find the unmarked counterfeits to be a good educational tool for both myself and those I show them to.
