And again, guys, the photos don't do a good job of showing luster. Just like the last set of photos. You can see what the entire coin looks...
Rim crumbling, as struck.
If you are hoping for an upgrade, I think you really limit your upside by not cracking the coin. PCGS tends to hedge their bets on coins that are...
Here's the second installment of ten. The rules remain unchanged. Please guess what PCGS will grade this coin (or if they won't grade it,...
That is a very odd looking coin. Way too much chatter in fields given the rest of the coin. What gives? Is it prooflike? Presuming it is, and...

I can understand why, as a seller, you might like them. I can also understand the logic behind the policy that TT uses. As a buyer, I just don't...
I know a few guys who play the MS70 game with NGC/PCGS. None of them can accurately predict which coins will get a 69 and which will get a 70....
I just heard from Shawn that he's on his way to LB and will be sharing a table with Chris.
Woo hoo. Lucky guess for me. Here's a coin I don't think we've discussed in detail before on this forum, but it should look familiar if you...
Here's a little tidbit about this coin that GDJMSP alludes to. The vast majority of this date you see are really Randall Hoard coins. They...
