Although I did not attend the show, I have heard the same thing from other collectors I speak with regularly.
My advice: Save your money for problem-free examples. Collect them in lower grade if you have to. They certainly will be easier to liquidate if...
Terry, I agree. I'd wager to say it's the top-pop, or top-1 at worst. Cool coin!
Terry, I agree. I'd wager to say it's the top-pop. Lloyd?
p.p.s. please don't get the wrong idea -- it is WONDERFUL that you're putting together this contest, and I appreciate that. Just a bit frustrated...
I made that mistake early on as well, but have been paying better attention recently.
It's gonna really hurt when you drop to 3rd. :ohya: :D

Unless it's a crazy-rare coin, I think you will find the standards the same across different mints for the seated material. For some very rare...
p.s. say what you want about their standards, but the online PCGS grading guide is hands down the best photographic grading resource I've ever...
I think it is an option for you, and I think it is a mistake to not do so. More to the point, I know that many of the type set "mistakes" I've...
A coin I think every collector should own!
Very nice coins. The 1812 is quite nice for the series -- a tough one as Tom points out. Congrats on the NEWPS!
It will, but it will introduce another problem (loss of contrast) which looks worse to most people. The optimal solution to your problem, IMO,...
