An interesting post, Carl. Yes, we need to define terms. My proposal is this : for the purpose of this discussion, anything which people collect...
From this picture, it appears to have dead, flat luster indicative of improper cleaning / overdipping.
All the best, Joe. Always good to have ya around.
Here's another way to spin it : die variety collectors. Die varieties are collected by year.
An important distinction ! Care to elaborate ? I'm all ears. :ohya:
Turn off the flash. Turn on the lights. Turn on the macro. Buy the book. You say "that's too involved". Seems easy. Do want good photos or...
For the purposes of this discussion, the term "rare coin market" should exclude bullion.
My understanding is NO, they are not. The NGC numbers are for numerical grade assigned coins. NCS slabs have no numercial grade.
ROFL :mouth:
Yes, it is pretty sorry. Worst counterfeit I've seen on The Bay in some time. For the sake of education, anyone care to point out telltale signs...
That's what I thought. Which leads to some predictions : USPS will continue to handle many, many coin packages. They will continue to get the...
Many collectors and dealers do all their delivery work through PO boxes to keep their home address confidential. Does FedEx deliver to PO boxes ?...
The key, of course, is how one defines "complete". For me, this thread boils down to a one-year type. The word "type" itself is open to personal...
In response to the OP... I think I have detected some Indian proofs ! :D

Not at all. The key issue is this coin in this grade range. As Lehigh pointed out, there seems to be a statistically significant spread 'twixt...
Certainly a valid point, Doug. If he is mindful that his PCGS price is misleading and posts it anyway, intentionally attempting to make the coin...
Every non-gradable PCGS slab has a code which indicates why the coin wasn't gradable. PCGS codes 'em like this : xxxx.yy/zzzzzzzzz Where "yy"...
I understand. It's easy to feel that way, since we aren't in control of the results. I prefer to think of it like poker. The lottery is pure...
The buzz is that PCGS is pretty brutal right now. Even pro crack-out artists are reporting low batting averages.
Separate names with a comma.
