I just took a quick look at his listings. IMO, his photos are presented to enhance the field/device contrast. To support my thinking, he has 1...
No I haven't. For pricing, do you visit HA auction archives? Also look at HA current listings. In the listing they have a nice pricing table...
Thanks for the clarification on coin submission pricing. I couldn't remember the per coin price. I did know it was John Albanese. Insider posted...
If you submit through a dealer, you get charged $12 (If memory serves) for every coin submitted whether it receives a bean or not. It took about...
Congrats on your endeavor. Some very nice looking coins!

I'm late to this thread. Of the few coins you posted, the NGC coin looked the best. I HATED the spot right under the nose on the first coin. It...

I bought one of these a while back because I liked it. I also own the George Morgan Sketchbook. Buy what you like, but do some homework before...
I have an Excel workbook with many sheets
I'm not a fan of the coin, but I did put together a complete set of the silvers.
