By making them of coin silver they would be harder to spot and more readily accepted. Cost was not really that much of an issue because by that...
I did. (guess I'm a nobody.)
How much lighter? What is the actual weight?
Not really, almost every fake PCGS and fake NGC slab has a legitimate serial number. You would probably run across more database errors where a...
Since when do the Chinese ask for volunteers? :)
Another way of solving the screw problem is to replace the nylon screws with aluminum binder posts.
That is a legitimate concern. Consider that back in 1969 there were fake 1969 DDO cents discovered and the SS started confiscating them. They...
Clinking on"Report item" in the auction does little good. The report goes to the end of the line and they will get to it eventually, usually long...
I think he means that in the new holder you lose the GSA box etc which you don't with the NGC band.
The "official" inflation rate has been running around 3% per year (The real rate is even higher) and the inflation rate compounds so after one...

You folks don't seem to have any problem with the IGWT impressing into the one coin,why can't you understand that LIBERTY would impress itself...
Even earlier mid to late 80's and they used to send registered members VHS video tapes of the coins being auctioned.
Hard to say what it wouldsee for because we don't know what it actually looks like. I would bet it is worth significantly more than the $3 Doug...
From what I see in the pictures I see coins that would retail in the $10 each range and wholesale around $5 - $6 each.
TomB nailed it this slab was used 1990 - 94 maybe part of 95. The serial number will not tell you anything about when it was slabbed. PCGS could...
Story would be better if you knew which ship they were salvaged from. It is a 1783 8 Reales struck in Mexico City with the F F coiner and assayer...
Very heavy scratch or cut.
A split after strike is the only thing that would come close to looking like what the OP has, BUT on a split after strike you typically will see a...
