Not quite 90's.... but close. I got my driver's license in 2001. There was a pawn shop near where I lived, and I'd sort through their silver bin....
I'm going to switch it up and take us (in a straight line!) across the pond. Cuba! This coin is very special to me, because when I was young we...
So, I recently purchased an actual meteorite from Heritage. However, while reading about meteorites, their history, and collecting of...
That's a great description of my position and reaction ;) Although, I don't like to see planchet roughness on a 66 either. To be fair, the...
Based on the absolutely ridiculous grading I've seen from the TPG's concerning high point pitting and Jeffersons, I really don't see any reason...
For those learning from these threads, the implied subtext that messydesk is referring to: most major auctions allow bidders to view lots in-hand...
' I'll be honest, I didn't even look at the sales price. However, this one seems to have sold for a generic 67 price:...
The whole "best answer" thing is weird. You would think that only the poster of the thread would be able to select a post as the best answer.......
Alright, time for the reveal. With 50 guesses, you guys nailed it: 67.02, compared to the PCGS 67 CAC. I'm most perplexed by the 64 and 65...

Problem is, NGC does not guarantee authenticity or attribution. All it guarantees is the grade. Read more here:...
How good is CoinTalk compared to the TPGs? Let's find out! Over the next several months, I'll be posting a continuous stream of Guess the Grade...
Definitely, absolutely, no question asked Artificial Toning. Everything about that screams fake. Take a look here for what toned Liberty nickels...
I'd guess it would grade around EF-40, and would be worth about $150. This is not worth getting graded.
Spain is just across the straits from my favorite: Morocco! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
My position on CAC has softened over the years. Originally, my position was "ridiculous ripoff and extremely unnecessary fleecing of the...
