I thank you for that. Now about this, do you know what those are Gilbert ? Where those numbers come from ? There was another thread about it...
First of all I didn't make any "blanket statements". In my first post in this thread I said - That is a generalized statement. The coin market...
And I readily agree that you are correct. But that begs the question, why does it ? The answer's pretty simple, it's because they are being told...
Why ? That's the first thing that always pops into my mind when I see comments like this. But then I remember that not everyone is aware of how...
I assume you mean physical size when you say largest ? I've got some (4 I think) that are 2 ft wide and 4 ft tall. But they're not coin bags,...
Yeah, "professionals" that grossly over-grade coins about 90% of the time in today's world. And "professionals" who can't even identify some...
OK, then tell me what these coins are.
Should be obvious, someplace different than where you have been looking. Here's the thing Gilbert. I can't tell you where to look unless I know...
Ehhh, not really. That's because if you read their disclaimer their results are based entirely on what they are calling "average dealer asking...

I'd agree with that IF it was tilted far enough to not contain the planchet. But, if it was only tilted slightly, so that the top half of the...
I dunno, but with that grainy texture over the entire coin, even the rims, it looks to me like the coin has been corroded - maybe a ground find,...
I don't think it has anything to do with the series. It's the coin market as a whole. As I have posted numerous times over the last few months...
An "even tilting", as in equal tilted angle, all the way around ? No, it wouldn't, but it would be slightly angled all the way around, slightly...
To better understand how dies wear how about looking at some pictures of a die with wear. These were originally posted by LostDutchman some time...
The lower the humidity is the better it is for your coins. The ideal situation would be no humidity at all but that's pretty much impossible to...
Yeah it can, but it's not going to bend the reeding equally and evenly around the entire coin.
Separate names with a comma.
