I agree, but like I said, the graders never see the coins in the original packaging. Nor are they told the coins arrived in original packaging....
No post or thread has ever been removed from this forum because it got negative comments. Or because somebody said they'd never heard of such...
I'm not limiting my comments to only being about what's happened lately. The TPGs refusing to grade original mint products, shipped to them in...
I agree. But having been a long time collector of buying mint products in original mint packaging, I can also readily acknowledge that that...
Normally I wouldn't even step into this section of the forum, let alone post a reply. But when I saw this thread, well I kinda had to. Gold -...
I agree completely. And so has PCGS, and ANACS, and ICG - but it doesn't mean they were right. It's just another example of them being wrong...
Put it on ebay - one of the bidiots will buy it :D
There's even an easier way - simply use the search function. Type in the words "rim burr" and then your user name in the appropriate place, then...

The number of brown ones existence has absolutely nothing to do with how many there are that have been designated as Red. There is quite simply...
All of the numbers I used come right from the pop reports - and they are the total numbers as listed on the reports.
Yup, I'll give ya that :)
If nothing else now I know what a burr is. I've always said I have little to no interest in errors or varieties, never have had. But I thought I...
Ultrasonic is well known for damaging coins.
Well I don't know how many you've looked at but I've looked at a lot of them and I have seen a lot that have turned in the slab. And that is even...
You picked a bad coin to use as your example. I say that because the '81-S Morgan, along with a few of the other early S mint Morgans, is in a...
If you're talking about a rim ding Kurt then I would agree. But since he used the term burr instead of ding I assumed he was talking about a bit...
Re -read the post Camaro, I forgot the second part and had to edit it. And yes, freshly dipped coins do tone very quickly - any of them, not just...
Separate names with a comma.
