The money value has to make sense to you. Think about the TPG as a tax: for a $100 coin, you're adding $35 to the price you paid for that coin. Is...
For most of the US coinage life, most of the series were aligned with each other. I tend to divide US coinage history along those series lines,...
Low margins can be overcome by large volume, but that doesn't sound like this guy. Large volume is how outfits like Apmex can charge great prices...
I hate to ask what it looked like before..... The thing with "some rim toning from being in an album" is the coin is original, and has developed...
Dewitt, I see a bunch of pocket change. None of those are worth paying to have graded.
I guess all of these aren't enough clues that the pictures are bad?
There is a difference between being "grumpy" and being realistic. When people post awful photos and ask for grades, and we tell them that their...

I have to admit, that was the most unusual choice. But, NGC is known for its foreign coin grading (much more than its competition). This is the...
Their website is focused on marketing current NCLT to the public. Their website is not designed or intended to be a source of technical or...
Slightly? I appreciate your use of understatement in an attempt at humor.
Based on the discoloration I see on the high points, especially Lincoln's cheek and jaw, I'd say this coin is AU. And, that is fully brown....
I have ordered from them online, and they were quick and professional. It's been a few years, but I remember them being good dealers.
Results of the grading contest are posted here. This article actually has all of the coins, so you can test your skills at home. The answers are...
In hand, do you see evidence of cleaning? You've shown us at least 3 sets of photos now, and I don't see it.
The color on that coin is incredibly attractive. I'm guessing that's the reason for the high bids.
