There is no such thing as "interesting damage." All of the coins in this thread are mutilated and should be melted.
They shouldn't. Counterstamps are damage, and a counterstamped coin should be limited to a details grade. Some people go crazy over this damage...
If I post a coin on a forum, you can consider it as being held "in very strong hands." Generally, when I make a purchase, it is because it is...
Why?
The general consensus has been that the last year has been generally weak overall (across most series) compared to the last few years.
Did you take any pics of the steppy sides? (and it would be really super awesome if you rotated them to be sorta top-up.... )
Hahaha, this made me chuckle. Thanks for the analysis.
I have many, many top pop coins. I didn't want to distract from the post however. I also have tons of top pop PL coins for their series. Here's an...
Deep scratches on a cleaned VF coin with green corrosion on the reverse.... man, I would have passed on that. You overpaid by a lot. Return it if...
I have never re-bought a coin I sold. If I sold it, there was a reason for that. Either I upgraded it, I didn't like it, or I moved on from that...
Nice! I don't have a PL Booker.
I know you don't buy coins anymore, but if you compare in hand to Heritage's photos, the coin will always have more luster in hand. Heritage...
The newer PCGS slabs don't fit in the NGC box, though. And that frustrates me.
Make sure to check your SBAs for near date/ far date. They can have a pretty good premium even in high circulated grades.
I don't think we can really get an accurate guess of the contrast based on these pictures. The toning makes that even more difficult.
If you have an accurate record and inventory, then this shouldn't be difficult. For example, I have a spreadsheet that tracks every coin I own or...
I've never seen a good coin at a good price on Etsy. Just avoid that place. There are some reputable sellers on Amazon, but you have to wade...
When did Anacs use that holder? I don't recognize it. @Conder101 ? Congrats on the purchases!
Yes, this is exactly what happens. I just got one of those emails a couple of weeks ago. I have never had someone try to register a coin that I...
I have heard some people will always label the date side as the obverse. Usually, if there is a portrait that is the standard obverse. I just want...
Separate names with a comma.
