How do you define "greatest"? Oldest? Lowest population certified? Lowest mintage? Highest grade? Most Valuable? My favorite? The one I'd like to...

Of course, I'm perfectly well aware. However, to the average collector, the marketing has been well-placed to make them think that the TPGs and...
Also, the post you reference showed a 1793 Wreath Cent and an 1082/1 Half Eagle. These are both very expensive coins - if you can't grade for...
It is a common misconception that CAC is an altruistic company out to protect the collector. This has been repeated over and over, and promulgated...
It has long been insinuated that certain submitters get preferential treatment. It has never been proven, and if it were that would be a huge...
Shoot, I still do! I think we place far too much weight on the TPGs, and not nearly enough weight on educating ourselves. Full disclosure - I'm...

I love these super sharp, crystal clear images. Anyone can clearly see that RPM, and it looks fantastic!
For coins that you want to display that are a bit nicer than you want to put in a 2x2, I recommend something that looks like a slab, but isn't...
The book is probably wrong. PCGS shows 4, NGC shows 5, and the pedigree record indicates that at least a couple were crossed back and forth. There...
Last time I went to a flea market, I discovered a new specimen of the 1804 Dollar. So, it happens ;) BTW.... it was fake.
There has been a lot of numismyth and numislegend posted in this thread. Please read the excellent auction description of the last one sold on...
All of your images are so small. I really was left wanting more pictures of your amazing coins. I have a 32 inch 2k resolution monitor - with...
