Thanks. I am told the macro feature on my digital camera is not that good.
It's a tough market to sell in; this gentleman has a good personality, a retired science teacher. You are there to sell and business is very...
OK, just thought I would relay another warning on accepting checks from strangers. This gentleman was conned out of his $20 Liberty gold coin, an...
I showed the coin to Tom Keenan today, the Colonial and EAC expert. He said the coin just appeared dirty to him, not damaged; he recommended using...
I have had environmental damage silver coins, in the holder attesting to this fact, sent through NCS and had them come back as numerically graded....
A guy in New Hamshire was offering this [IMG][IMG]
Unc. details, rim damage; tough to get anything by the grading services these days. Otherwise MS67...
Environmental damage. They're getting tough at NGC and PCGS on coins with any problems. You have a good shot at NNC, though....
Just got this one back from grading, another purple holder. Do copper coins ever get successfully conserved with surfaces like this? [IMG][IMG]
It looks like a solid 63 plus to me, lots of eye appeal. Technical grading is like theoretical studies, a lot more relevant to the classroom than...
His scholarship is excellent; I have his book on coin grading with pictures; various industry experts are quoted highly recommending the book....
I have no idea who removed the spot (assuming that NGC is certain on this). I almost never touch the surfaces of a coin.
So they will remove spots on copper coins? I had this other 1859 Indian cent that graded MS64, but had a reverse spot so was hard to sell;...
OK, they did specify obverse spot removal, I guess it's ok when they remove copper spots from gold coins that leave shadows of the former spots...
I recently had this shockaroo from NGC; an 1859 Indian cent I figured around MS63 that graded as a spot removed coin: NGC cert. number for image,...

And I have never understood the rip off mentality; frankly there comes a day of reckoning, people do reap what they sow, either in this life or...
Or Scott Travers' books, I have read a few. Some have good points and he frankly did recommend coins as an investment in a number of categories...
There are what one may call "worse case" scenarios and many in between. I have found that case studies rather than speaking in generalities, "buy...
BTW, he never asked me for advice. And the common denominator on many who lose big on "investments" is a subversive type of sales by those who...
