It depends on the coin itself. The one pitfall I have found with PCI is their lack of determining the true meaning of cameo and deep cameo . I...
Sounds to me that the Fun Show folks have the same type of security personnel that Ebay uses ... Invisible .. Incompetent and probably Non-existent.
I also reported the item as a fake to Ebay security and also left a message to the seller asking that they should remove the listing . It does...
I think it looks like XF40 details and a net VF35 grade.
Hey Bone , I'll go back a little further in time , the 50's when I was just a young kid and somehow began with a few old Wittman albums. I...
My advice would be to stay with coins graded in the MS63 range. These still can be had for a decent price , but once you get into the higher...
Maybe NGC gave it the old * behind the grade .. Say MS69* FS.
Several years ago 10-15 .. I ordered a 1913-s type 1 Buffalo from one of those dealers you see in all the coin magazines .. you know Paul Sims ,...
I like G4 on the 16-D and VF20 on the 42/1. I agree that people should take a good look at the PCI graded coins. Maybe they're not right all the...
These auctions are legit , but from what I've seen the prices being paid are extremely high. You're better off looking elsewhere ... in my opinion.
Thanks for all the ideas. I finally was able to get the glue off without damage but it wasn't easy. At first the alcohol just seemed to smear the...
Some odd looking finishes but I'd say 1 , 2 and 4 are cleaned and 5 looks to be recolored.
I've received a couple of slabbed coins recently but the idiot put cheap tape right on the slab over the coin and after removing it there's glue...
Be sure to keep us posted on the PCGS results. I agree with you 100% on not trusting the so-called unbiased TPG crossover grading. Good luck.
Just curious. When you send it to PCGS are you looking for a crossover at the same grade/or above or are you cracking it out and sending it raw ?...
Thanks Cave_Troll. That does explain things very well. I guess nothing is ever simple.
I agree with the Cloudsweeper on this. Whereas I don't believe it is fraud I do believe all grading companys should slab the coin regardless of...
The Walker looks sweet , MS65, The 78-P may have been cleaned and netted out as AU details but on the photos it's hard to tell. The 78-CC looks...
Very clean face , limited dings . should fetch MS65 with a shot at 66.
