Now that I like ! :D
When you say list, exactly which list is it that you are talking about ? I ask that because there are more "lists" than you have fingers to count,...
What's the difference ? About the same as the difference between night and day. They are so different that there is no way to compare them except...
Whether a company is a semi-monopoly, or even true monopoly, has no bearing whatsoever when it comes to the respect I have or don't have for that...
I don't see anything that really jumps out at me that says the coin is a fake. But then I would never buy a raw example of one unless I really...
Yeah, it often is. It's not unusual at all for smaller shows with 40-50 tables to not have anybody selling world coins except for the oddball and...
There is a tolerance range. While it can vary from coin type to coin type you can use a general rule of thumb of 1% to get you close. That would...

Oh I understand the reasoning why people want the problem coins slabbed and why they want an estimation of detail condition. But what a lot of...

I don't deny that, but I don't agree with it either. And at times I will discuss the condition of the details too. But it was not very long ago...
Pretty much anytime the question of severity comes into play in the already inconsistent grading of the TPGs, that inconsistency is greatly...
Yes and no Rusty. Signs of a harsh cleaning don't always manifest themselves as hairlines and or fine scratches (but they often do). Sometimes...
Problem coins have no grade, cannot be graded, so it doesn't matter. If you wish to get and keep the coin for your collection, your opinion is the...
Yes. No.
What he said ! And it will. The problem is some folks can't see it to begin with because they don't know what they are looking at when they do...
David, let me ask you something. When you look up a word in the dictionary and see what the definition printed there is, do you accept that...
I can see traces of what looks like an old harsh cleaning on the upper half of the rev fields, but that's the only place I can see it in the pics....
Then it tones, because all of that is in the air, in particular sulfur.
