True or false: A "nice" collection is not assembled by looking for "good deals". Of course there are always exceptions to any rule....but do you...
How does the OP define "good buy"? Remember, in auctions it's the one who bids the most (i.e. wants it the most) that wins. Just the nature of...
Improperly stored, or just natural toning/tarnish on sliver?
Very interesting post, Lehigh. I don't look at proofs often. Learn something new every day. :)
It looks that way to my eye too. You'd expect to see some loss of detail centrally if the die was used and then relapped, and I cant make out...
I'm betting on Nightowl's coin slabbing. :eek:
It is pretty. :)

Redbook prices are set by dealers (think inflated retail pricing, the price you would pay a dealer for the coin) Greysheet is generally...

Lehigh, I'm mot necessarily arguing PCGS is better/different from NGC -- that was a point I believe you brought to the fore. The only reason I'm...
Ooooh, the gauntlet has been laid. :)
FWIW, the PCGS price guide quote $1000 for a 40, and I'd estimate $1250 for a 45 -- which seems to support the 1/2 rule I suggested above against...
So these cleaned coins are selling for, essentially, wholesale prices? That just doesn't sound right. Not disputing what they've sold on at...
Thanks for the update, and sorry to hear it turned out to be a fake. :(
