No it's not my problem at all. I merely recognize that such a problem exists, when most can't even see it. Or if they do, refuse to acknowledge...
Those packages they are in are much better for the coins than a cardboard 2x2. Cardboard 2x2s are terrible for coins, even the so called archival...
What the exact temperature is doesn't really matter so much. It could be 50 degrees or a 100 degrees. What you want is for that temperature to...
Well, what you described, that is exactly the problem. It doesn't seem to matter about what the subject or word is, people just see fit to use...
No, he most definitely does not use ANA standards. JA was one of the founders of both PCGS and NGC. The proof that he does not use use ANA...
Know what the problem is with looking for the next thing ? Finding it and then doing something about it. For by acting on it you often become your...
Words of wisdom ;) Spent most of my life doing it :)

True story. I've been saying the same thing for 15 years or more. cladking, another forum member has been pointing it out for even longer. But...
But a whole lot of people don't get that Tom. To you, or me, or anybody that knows coins, it doesn't matter if the coin is raw, slabbed, or has a...
Maybe it doesn't apply to the Chapman Proofs, but it sure does apply to a whole lot of the others. That's all I was trying to say.

Yeah, but that isn't what you said previously, at least it's certainly not what I understood you say when you said - What that comment means to...
