I'll readily agree that some are, but definitely not all of them. That coin has a lot of contact marks on it, seen in areas that are struck up,...
Neither do I, and not because of the toning.
Maybe you're just getting smarter in your old age Frank :D Seriously Frank, you and I have thought alike about a lot of things since long before...
Yes, you are.
Not that I know of. For years the TPGs said they would never net grade coins. And they also said they would never slab problem coins either. And...
It's not the only way, it's merely one way. Are you aware that the biggest dealers there are hire people and pay them very, very, well to do...
If that's really what you want to do then I have better suggestion for you. Pay your annual dues and join the electronic dealer networks. You'll...
I think it's likely the reverse of that in this case. They're saying - hey, this coin is scratched and it's really close to being scratched bad...

The simple answer, (another way of saying what Frank did) the coin bounces and hits the dies during the striking process.
Good for you, just make sure you keep copies of everything so you can refer back to it in years to come. Nobody can remember everything.
And in a few years you'll be able to buy them for spot.
Because of the scratches on the cheek. One is easy to see, the other a bit more difficult but it's there.
Couple potential problems Vic. 1 - you are assuming that the 2 coins are equal just because the plastic says so. 2 - you are making a comparison...
Yup, as long as you follow the rules, you can say anything you want. It wasn't a rant, and I definitely don't have any agenda, nor am I sticking...
Border line problem coin IMO, could go either way.
Let me ask a question here. Is every person out there a crook or somebody looking to take advantage of you ? There's only one possible answer -...
