Why are some Morgan's graded differently than others? Shouldn't they all be graded the same? And why are people okay with different standards for...
Yes, that is correct. However, if they don't catch it the first time you can send it back for "Designation Review," and request that they...
No, avoid this coin. Those problems are distracting. '33 Bust Halves are downright common, and you can easily find one with similar color but no...
No. Cameo contrast has absolutely nothing to do with the PL designation. PL is based solely on the depth of reflectivity of the fields. The fact...
I think the problem with this particular case, Doug, is that nobody really knows what happened. We have no idea what the story is, or what the...

I believe I initially said 66 on this one - but with these new pictures, I like 65 better. Absolutely no way that thing should be a 64. And...
No, not necessarily. You only get one cut bid, though, so you have to use it strategically. Preferably you use it when you think the other guy is...
Google is funny that way sometimes.... you search for *exactly* the right specific terms, and it'll show a post from many, many years ago. And...
The anticipation before an auction is absolutely killer. I've been watching this coin for a month or two. I've fully researched it. I have Mark...
I have a couple, let me know when its my turn. As for the Morgan - it is beautiful. No arguing there. However, that thicker toning tends to mute...
That's actually a fairly attractive coin, overall. Not sure what it has to do with the Declaration (and I don't know why there's a wagon in the...
Well, there's a bit of a difference between those grades, eh? Heritage has only sold one in 66.... for $130,000. See the gorgeous coin here:...
To be considered a "retained cud", the die break has to be complete from rim to rim. It looks like it may be complete, but it is hard to see at...
Dang Larry, you had a really good FUN show! You made out like a bandit. This is by far the most difficult one to grade (you're going to get...
The obverse pictures are a bit blurry, so I'm sorta guessing here, but I like this best at EF-45. I might go up to AU-50 if better obverse...
That cent has very nice color - but the long dark streak on the obverse and the random pattern on the reverse preclude the star. It is nice, but...
Not only is it not a breach of contract, it is expressly written *into* the contract that Heritage can bid on any lot it wants to. These are the...
I will guess 53. What is going on with the reverse from the wing, through the beak, to the S of pluribus?
I agree. Neither of these coins show misalignment, and certainly not to the degree that the luster would be affected. (I'm not convinced that die...
