CAC POWER: The value of the CAC designation -- regardless of whether you like it or hate it -- can't be denied from these prices. Note how a...
Insider, Page 633 of the Saints DE book. There's also a good mini-section on Copper and Red Spots right after.
So, PF is saying that luster is caused by changes in the die's crystalline structure as it applies 100-120 tons of pressure to the planchets, do I...
But then you'd get lots of "Great Post" or "I agree, well said" posts that would clutter up the threads. The LIKE button is is indispensable,...
Well deserved, Mazel Tov !! :D
Supply is decent, as noted by several posters. And the coins were in 2 bubble melt-ups in the last 45 years. It's been a slow, steady decline in...
I have this one, very nice: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Pricing Anomalies ?: A 1924 MS-65+CAC is asking (no bids) a minimum of $3,780 (w/o bp) while a 1924 MS-66 is only bidding $2,150. I believe...
Compared to some of the garbage my family and friends buy, it's probably a better use of $$$. If they learn about coins from that purchase and...

Saw a sign saying that because of the large number of counterfeits, they'd no longer take a $100 bill. It was a coffee/donut place, so usually...
Just want to say that the debate on Market vs. Technical Grading...and the comments from the posters....I know it gets heated at times, and maybe...
I have the 7th Edition.....on Page 13 it says that there were "changing grading standards" and that alot of formerly MS-65's would probably grade...
Also, the whole toning thing (which I personally am generally not a fan of)...in the past, that would be a major demerit for a coin, but today,...
But maybe the "market" adjusted to reality and you needed the improvisation ? Unless the later editions allow for more marks, dings, and bagmarks...
I hate to speak for someone, but it appears he is market grading but is not as loosey-goosey as the late-1990's /early-2000's lax period. That...
