Well, I've explained it before but I guess I will again. It's the result of mixing more than one type of forum software programs. In the old days,...
Where to start ? Normally I wouldn't even post in this thread, but because I was "asked", and because of what occurred in this thread, I'm going...
Done.
Personally, I find it much easier, and quicker, to just use the Index Page - https://www.cointalk.com/forums/ - than it is using New Posts or...
But that is not the case, contact marks or flaws of any kind carry more weight, or have a greater or lesser impact on the grade, depending on...
Well I don't know about you Dave but I got the idea that people were considering a peeling lamination to be the same thing as a planchet flaw -...
Apparently English is not your primary language, but as I said, you must REQUEST your password be reset - I'll get it done for you.

I would pass on one word of warning regarding grading done by European dealers in general. While they are as a general rule pretty good when it...
Well, I believe that is because you didn't understand what he was saying - I did. Now perhaps I may be mistaken as to why you didn't understand...
Your question as asked, or at least the first part of it - when - I think can easily be answered. It was almost without a doubt in 1977 when the...
Good Lord ! Where to start with this ?? First of all I think most of you will agree that when it comes to grading coins that I am more strict...
Quite correct, I forgot about the half dime :oops: Thanks for pointing it out.
Such gross over-grading by the TPGs has been going on for at least 12 years now. But in recent years it has gotten much worse than it ever was...
I think anybody would be hard pressed to tell the difference based on pictures. Some would be hard pressed to tell even by viewing individually...

Separate names with a comma.
