Other people's transactions with a dealer are not your business. Unless the dealer asks for your opinion, you should keep it to yourself.
I don't agree. A coin is either proof-like or not at the time it is struck. Contact marks, etc. will lower the grade, but it won't fundamentally...
A proof is a proof based on the method of manufacture. A toned proof is still a proof, regardless of the impact on reflectivity. A proof-like...
Spectacular.
Cool find Meow, and nice photography. I agree it's from the condition of the obverse die. I'm not sure why people feel the need to personally...
It's super bizarre. Definitely keep it.
Roll enders only have toning on the face exposed to the paper. The other side is usually blast white. This coin looks like it was placed in a...
Ah, I hadn't found it on their site but this makes sense. I've had a few coins with PL surfaces that I suspected didn't get the designation due to...
I was looking through NGC's world census for 19th century Austrian ducats, and I noticed one MSDPL coin in the census. I didn't realize NGC used...
I don't remember. It was attached to a gas station.
I bought a bag of pretzels at a convenience store with odd change. I only had Sacs, Ikes, and Kennedy halves on me so that's what I paid with. I...
You have to get too close to the coin to light it properly if using a phone. The phone itself blocks all the light. You need to use a camera with...
You're not using proper lighting. This is way too dark. The amount of light you need for proper macro photography is astounding. Here are the...
It does have a "nominal" face value of one million dollars. They could have just bought a pack of gum and gotten back change.
If only they had submitted it for grading they could have just asked dealers to be on the lookout for a slab with that serial number.
Obviously. But they don't have time to circle 6 o'clock on a diagram and check a box next to scratch (or whatever applies)? Maybe a more detailed...
A common date in gem is better than a worn better date. These really don't have great eye appeal below a 64. Although if you can find an "AU64"...
On top of this, shop around and find undergraded examples of Saints.
Enough luster for an AU, plus eye appeal. Send it in as a mechanical error on the grade and see what they say.
You're a wizard, Shrews. Most people CRH errors just find dryer coins and other PMD. You're pulling out legit error after error; and nice ones....
