I have an uncirculated WWII era zinc coin that I would like to conserve. It has an extremely light zinc oxide film along the edge, and on a small...
I don't find it hard to believe that this is perfectly legal, however, Mr. Briggs should obviously post a disclaimer on the SEGS website stating...
Crack it out and submit it to PCGS.
I'm not at all a collector of ancients. My collection is primarily classic world coins with some US. All coins in my primary collections are...
The same pattern is occurring with high end world coins to some extent, and even there many world collectors are anti-slab. For US and world...

There is no black and white answer to this really. It depends on the type of material you're talking about. For the couple series I primarily...
The way I see it you have three honest options you can take. Pay for the coin and tell the auction house not to ship it to you, but instead...
Here are a couple recent auction wins for my Hungarian type set. Both are raw, but will be submitted with my next batch to NGC: Hungary KM452 20...
