You paid 65 money for a raw proof? Did the seller provide images? As a rule, unless it is clearly higher, I cap raw early proofs at 63 money and...
Still a pretty coin even with the details slab. Que the "I was wondering why it wasn't already in a slab" posts.
Exactly, I believe that the molten state of the surface of the coin has always been told but is misrepresented. There is not nearly enough...
It's a great write up, but I feel that you have written about the proof and business strike techniques as one in the same. There is really no...
Killer additions Saba. Love it all. What's the direction now? You're running through the entire type set too quickly. I predict dollars...
Thanks Tee. Now I have too many books to locate, but how can you not want Sheldon or Noyles references? Please send donations care of...
I tried to make this point a while back in this thread. https://www.cointalk.com/threads/what-is-a-great-dealer-worth.233042/ It's been a pretty...
Quality dealers are really invaluable to any serious collector, I'm glad you've seen the light. They can offer more advice that we can hope to...
Who wrote that @BigTee44?
Not really, they agreed to take another look at it, but it came back PR details again. I cracked it out about a year later and got back a PR-64 so...
Like everyone else around here I lost plenty. My house had fourteen feet of water in it, lost two rental properties and two cars. I was one of the...
I don't think that the graders know that it went through NCS, and yes many coins have gone through NCS and received a details grade later. I was...
You can try to get a few dealers to let you market some coins for them. I did it for a while and made some pretty descent scratch off of the...
It was your post that sent me looking again. Thanks Scott, you owe me fifty bucks.
Ahh. Thanks, Sheldon totally slipped my mind for some reason. I'm not looking for any information in particular, just trying to rebuild my...
I've been wanting to add this one for a while, but every time that I saw one, they were really expensive. Just scored this one off of the bay for...
Welcome to CT Scott. I'd call it a VF-30 by a TPG, but the scratch on the face could make it a VF details. As for EAC, 25/30.
Why would you send it off? No chance that it is genuine. If anything bring it to your LCS and have them look at it.
I was thinking about just carrying it around loose in my pocket. It's not an MS coin anyway and the minute amount of wear that it could add would...
I find all of the above accurate but would add that TPG and ANA standards are both looser than EAC standards.
Separate names with a comma.
