What you are not considering is it takes time for things to happen. You buy a coin in an auction, you send in your money right away. But maybe you...
Larry is correct, it is a matter of experience and judgement. Nobody, not a TPG, not the best known coin expert in the world, not anybody can say...
Believe it. Your post was edited because of what you did, your behavior, not because of the words you used. Read the rules. Such behavior is not...
Endeavor I don't think you understand how things work. The TPG's guarantee the grade they assign to a coin. The guarantee applies to coin, not to...
