What the guys are trying to tell you is that even attempting to identify a '64 SMS Kennedy from a picture is an effort in futility. Even the '65,...
I guess the reason the nobody seems interested is because, and I hate to put it this way - nobody cares. You see, what you are talking about...
PCGS is and always has been more lenient than NGC when it comes to the special designations. And that is true with all of them, for all coins !...
Now you know I don't ever give likes. But when I read that ......... well, the devil made me say it, I swear he did [ATTACH]
Made some friends ? She just became my new favorite person of the day :D
Oh God ! I almost gave that a Like :D
Is it a third option ? Heritage, Stacks Bowers, Great Collections - they're all just coin coin dealers. The only difference is they're bigger...

Who, me ? o_O Nahhh, I was a little angel :singing: I was one of "those" kids. Had an older sister and brother, 6 and 8 years older - I started...
I do not disagree with that at all, none the less it did happen. Drake for instance attacked the Spanish ships so often that the Spanish began to...
My observations are that they are not "age biased" at all, but rather lax with everything in today's world. Even so, once in a while, they still...
I think you've got the right basic idea - that being two different punches were used, one fresh and new and the other old and worn. This kind of...
OK, let's talk about documented fact. Between 1503 and 1660, 400,000 pounds of gold (avoirdupois, not Troy) and 40,000,000 pounds of silver were...
OMG don't you start too !
