One of the dirty little secrets of contingency representation is the "plus expenses" which is overinflated beyond what any normal person would...
I don't have any Large Cents in slabs. I use (or used) 2x2s with cotton liners like copperheads have been doing for years. I suppose if I had MS...
I'd love to see a mirrored 45 degree ring reflecting the edge rather than the prongs. I've seen it done in photographs and it shouldn't be much...
Can anybody tell me if and/or how PCGS can update a slab from one which does not show an edge to one that does? There are a few coins in which an...
Mark, what you described is low balling, not shilling. I do this frequently as well. However, we both would be ecstatic to actually win a bid at...
This is a low grade unattributed 1795 in a PCGS Genuine Lettered Edge holder. The dies are definitely Obverse 3 and not Reverses A or B due to...
