Sorry to hear that. When I go to shows I always keep coins in a zippered pocket for this reason.
Sure, I took some quick pics. Here you go: Hungary 5 Korona 1922 Pattern KE5 No initials on obverse Nickel 4.75g, 24mm, 2mm thickness, plain edge...
Both NGC and PCGS have gotten significantly tougher on this lately. I wouldn't try it again unless that trend changes.
Doesn't look good to me.
Going with your argument, fiat currency is itself a con game. Gullible people believing their currency has value set by supply and demand! With...
Indeed! I'm also guilty of slabbing a few cheap coins for this set that probably weren't worth it, but they were all MS65+. This pattern,...
Same reason anyone gets anything slabbed. To protect the coin and make it safer to handle, to enhance the liquidity, and so that if something...
I would tend to agree with you, but there's perhaps the off chance that they already use that catalog, and the implication that they don't have...
For those who have submitted world pattern coins to TPGs, have you ever sent in documentation with the coin? I've got a rare and beautiful...

65 no bands
I don't like the feel of the plastic and the added thickness makes them seem bulky and brittle (as they are less pliant). They also don't fit in...
Spot on.
AU58 with good eye appeal. Nice coin. The ding on the forehead is a little distracting though.
It's a step in the wrong direction, but at least the physical slab is still excellent. Those new PCGS slabs are just awful.
Nice selection. That '31 small letters is the first officially recognized type of the first year. Tough to find nice XFs or better also. Bust...
Are you just going for one small cbq for type or are you doing the small cbq types? The small letters '31s are their own type. Based on my...
The large letters I would start at 575 for a nice 45.
Nice looking. I think it's a low end XF45. Prices on these are wild. XF45 goes from around $360 to around $575 based on quality and eye appeal....
While we're off-on-topic-ish. Do you guys know a good site to pick up older auction catalogs?
