Like I said, just throwing out ideas. Not necessarily advocating for it, merely pondering.
The Star applied to NGC coins can be a little bit confusing to beginners, but it can be a useful tool. First, it is applied to coins with...
I have seen PCGS AU PL Morgans. PCGS only designates Morgans as PL, though, and would not have designated this Columbian as PL. Congrats on...
Thanks! My pictures really don't show the quality of this coin. PL coins must be experienced in hand.
There is a widespread theory that PCGS coins sell for more. NGC did not actually call this PL (an absolutely ridiculous mistake, which would have...
You are correct - PCGS only designates PL on Morgans. There are a few exceptions to this, but that's the general rule. The problem with PL gold...
Saw this little sparkler the other day. Had to have it. Now its mine. This coin is in a PCGS holder, but there is absolutely no doubt that this...
I appreciate the suggestion. NNP was one of the first places I tried. Obviously, a famous collector like Pittman will have a number of hits.......
Yes, those are in fact the coins I'm looking for. They were sold on Heritage yesterday. The reason I'm asking for historical information on them...

I'm looking for a bit of information on a lot (or lots?) in the Pittman Sale. This was a bit before I really got into collecting, but my...
I'll be honest, Pen, that second set of photos is far more convincing. I'd have to see it in hand to be sure, of course, but if it reflects like...
This brings my set to 49% complete. It is impossible to get 100%, as some series are unknown in PL... but I hope to get as close as I can. Yeah,...
I think the coin has proof-like qualities, but the mirrors don't appear deep enough to warrant a PL designation. Keep in mind, I'm only judging...
Good afternoon to all! My most recent score arrived the other day, and I've finally had a chance to photograph it. This 1885S Half Eagle was...
Good afternoon! Today, I have a nice assortment of coins for every collector. Prices are flexible, so please make an offer! Paypal preferred,...
Good afternoon! Today, I have a nice assortment of coins for every collector. Prices are flexible, so please make an offer! Please add $3 for...
Chris, man, calm down. I like the Is it Real threads because, as a newbie to the ancient world it is valuable to see examples, and learn why...
Yes, that was my first thought as well. Those are all fakes. I can't tell if the Mexican coin is genuine, but I would assume it is. It is pretty...
