This is an example of a coin that I think deserves XF45 Details AND AG3 Net. [ATTACH]
[ATTACH] This poor girl has had a rough life. Struck very early in the Mint's existence. Plugged, counter-marked and Graffitied. J. Stapleton was...
If this comes back anything but DETAILS - Corrosion I'd be surprised. But whether it's VG Details or VF details is anybodies guess. It is the...
That's the way I buy. But if I ever sell, it's foolish to not sell in premium plastic if the coin justifies it. I do not like entombing coins,...
Like it or not, plastic buyers are a huge part of the hobby and demand.

[ATTACH] Just to raise a particular concern to me. I tend to collect the lower grades like the above. If a fake is produced and artificially aged...
I noticed that, but it's not unlike the spread of the thin fraction bar S-195 to give an appearance of a S-194 if you don't know other markers. I...
Thanks for the wordsmithing. Pareidolia is why I always seek independent confirmation of an attribution of a low grade and often damaged coin. I...
ALL grading companies make their share of mistakes. They do not inspect the coins after they are entombed and send them out with wrong coins,...
I'm sorry, but I don't see anything that can't be explained by PMD on copper. Copper just isn't that precise after a little circulation. It...
