I know you don't have to, but I asked you to, for my own (and hopefully other's) edification. I have no idea how hard it would be or would not be...
I think I commented on this coin in another thread that it looked better than a 62. Made me scratch my head. A mentor of mine says that when you...
XF/AU details. Corroded reverse.
That is a very good question, and one I cannot answer. FWIW, my recollection of the situation around these coins is that the person who did it...
Shane is correct, but in truth my response above was poorly worded. Sadly, I remember those two coins very well.
I probably should have said "cautious" instead of "scared". They really don't scare me, per se. :)
I'm not sure how you define "lasting", but there is clearly risk in any market that is demand based - to include the toner market and the entire...
Show me an example. I'd love to add it to my files.
That's a heck of a 62!!! Tell me, why do you think it graded only 62? What doesn't the photo show?

That's not quite an accurate summary of my belief. What I believe is that its harder for us to tell the difference between natural and artificial...
That's quite a coin, and I find the coin very attractive. Like others have pointed out, the coin will likely look quite different in hand, just...
The cheek looks pretty clean -- clean enough for a 65 or 66. However, I have real trouble judging luster from the photos, and while the cheek is...
I suspect it's more than most people think. I look at it like this... There are no-brainer NT coins -- coins like Marauder's or Shane's...
Maybe, maybe not -- I think each collector has to answer that question themselves. However, it DOES make ME question paying huge premiums for...
Wow. Sad news. Makes me think twice about coming down hard on people.
Sure you would, today, along with anyone who's been paying attention to the forums for the past few years. The better question is, however, what...
The 2006 CQR lists 103 as a 4+ and 104 as a 3. In low grades (below EAC VG8), the 104 is more valuable, and in higher grades (above EAC VG8) the...
I'm going to say AU 58. Low MS (62-63) would not surprise me, and given the choices that leads me to believe that is what the coin graded.
