Differentiation = $$$$ That's why that infamous thread over at CU had such heated posts.
I was unaware that there was a PHYSICAL and LONGEVITY difference in the 2 slabe....I assumed plastic was plastic. Me personally, I don't mind the...
No, if NGC isn't engaged in gross overgrading then you are experiencing GOOD luck. :D
If more examples like this become commonplace, the premium has to fade -- no ? Another problem was that for 1 or 2 of the slabs that NGC used,...
I'm not against them, I just don't think that any ACTUAL market discrepancy from grading or any PERCEIVED discrepancy (as with ICG or ANACS)...
I just have the 7th....:D
It's VERY interesting to read this thread and the comments....I'm learning alot, but mostly I'm just surprised since PCGS slabs have held that...

Wait a second...maybe the switch of market for technical grading timeframe is your 2004 reference ? Things tightened in 1985-86 and LOOSENED in...
Doug, I think so. But you just typed: "...the new grading system adopted in '86 was tougher......" I thought what you've been drilling into...
You don't like the color of gold ?
I think you get a free bowl of soup with that coin, just like this guy: :D [MEDIA]
You should be able to buy these coins at less than a 100% markup from January levels. I see lots of gold coins flat-to-down from a few months ago...
I see lots of quality stuff with NO BIDS because they have 22 or 28 or 34 days to end. Nobody seems to want to bid when an item has WEEKS (if not...
I thought I understood this a week ago, but now I think I'm confused. The price grid is showing a big increas for 1985-86....if the new "market...
