Trey, as I have tried to explain, even by ANA standards it doesn't matter what caused the marks or how they got there. The only thing that...
I think your mistake is in thinking that they price the same. In looking at Heritage the '14 is a $1000 more than the '09-D in the same grade....
Not 4 forum sections, 4 pages of forum sections. And it's not a question of going from 4 pages of sections to 5 pages of sections. It's a...
While it is possible for a picture to not show you some things that are on the coin. It is not possible for the picture to show something that is...
Oh I used to be worse than "evil" - LOL - just ask my younger sister :D But I've mellowed with age. Nowadays I'm now just ornery now and then ;)

The simple truth is you can't have a separate forum section for everything because it makes the basic forum navigation too cumbersome. Look at how...
When it comes to designating a coin as a problem coin the size, location, and severity of the offending marks, hairlines, whatever, are the things...
Correct, PCGS only looks at the center band, NGC looks at all three bands. Neither one of them have any requirements regarding the vertical lines...
LOL - you're an evil woman ya know that ! I do kinda like it though :D
It's toning that resulted from a tear/break in the pliofilm mint packaging, or later aftermarket packaging or holder.
Only promise I make is that rules will be enforced period ;)
If he does, this thread disappears.
Definitely, raw or slabbed and designated PL it's best to look at them first.
Nahhhhhhhh - but the comments had the same effect on me :D
Yeah they are. But my response to Miko was in regards to his comment specifically about flips - not cardboard 2x2s. See (his) post #52. That...
