All very good points and something to think about. I think the two biggies are worth it in most cases - but I do agree you have to know your...
First not having read all the responses - I personally think NGC does not grade copper as well as PCGS. As for the two coins posted I think NGC...
Of course - people will bid on anything. The slab just ensures it is genuine - and yes some people will bid just for that.
I started to go with 64, but bumped it 1 for NGC. The pictures just make the luster look flat.
I have noticed the same thing just looking at some of the top pop coins. They maybe 66's or 67's but ugly. I can't remember which set I was...
NIce pickup Kanga.
And I believe this was a set of problem free coins.
Don't forget semi-keys like 1870-172 in the IHC's. I seem to recall that a set in G/VG grade range of IHCs was around 1200 - with more than 90%...
Nice addition and I like it better than the old 1878.
I am surprised at some of these percentages. My best guess is less than 1% in bullion and less than 10% in the coin collection. But I don't...
No - because I agree.
Welcome to the board! Blank penny or cent is fine - we know what you mean. As mentioned the grade on the indian head cent (IHC for short)...
Yeah - but if it stays low enough I might bid a second time. Just to see - you can't tell the difference. I just did this on heritage on a coin...
Proving the use of shill bidders is about impossible. Considering how many times I put in low bids on a couple of sellers high grade coins you...
First do not clean the quarter - it takes experience to remove debris off a coin without causing any damage. I would not recommend it. As for...
Agreed - no returns is a "skip it auction" for me. There are others that use paypal and a credit card, which allows you to return.
Your pictures are not showing much luster. I would venture a guess around 64 - no obvious signs of wear or distracting hits. The luster would...
Nice report Eduard. Glad to see you found a couple of nice items.
Not that cover coins. There are several where you can see other old type stuff. I kind of like the variety.
Crack anything out that you need. I have done it on several of my bust half dollars to get them into my album. Enjoy!
