Heck, I haven't seen you in many of our conversations with Doug, Paul, MorganDude and I regarding grading either sir. I haven't been around here...
Fair enough Paul. I was only trying to clarify what you were saying. As for your "test", why don't you post one? I have rarely seen an undergraded...
Um, maybe because he has done it longer than many of them, and he does not have his pay and stock options tied to what grade he assigns or what...
No, it is the responsibility of the quoter to ensure the quote is not taken out of context. If someone picks and chooses to quote only a sentence...
I don't understand why a collector needs to submit coins to a TPG for his opinion to be valid Paul. Are you saying my opinion on them is invalid...
True, that is the gist of the issue. Why do people accept a "grade" that does not conform to our hobby's stated grading system? That is the...
Stupid choices once again. Why not one word about our victory over polio, one of the world's most feared diseases? Not the worst choices, but...
Sadly, Doug, I bet you most people will again not listen to wonderful advice you give. I see sellers every time I go on Ebay that have thousands...
Pretty rounds. I am just leery of rounds for long term holding of pm, prefering government issued coins. Too bad US coins don't change designs and...
For a hobby, silver is pretty and a great hobby. Yes, as an investment all pm has high hurdles to overcome, dealer profit being a large one. The...
I think it will be more, "Boy, pm is just flying off the shelves, I have to have high premiums just to keep any of this highly demanded item on...
Its a rare grade, like XF barbers. These were workhorse coins, and most survive either AU/BU or VG/G. Nice F to XF is tough in all of them. Its a...
On grade, I would say XF since there is more than "slight rub" on her forehead. Then again, never knowing what the TPG's would grade it...
Yeah, Chris had a great point. Everyone knows who you are and where your shop is Mat, you are not an anonymous poster. I am glad you just posted a...
Maybe "large amount" was incorrect verbage. With the advent of TPG's I have seen the number of good graders go down every year, you are correct....
I agree with Doug to an extent. You will not get your preferred reaction with outright questioning his grading. His first instinct will be to be...
No Peace, its buy more pm now that its down. It was buy more stock back in 2009 when everyone hated them. Buy assets everyone hates is usually...
Gee, lots to respond to. First, no one in the world has the capacity to drop oil back down to $10, too much demand now from Asia, but the US is in...
If you want space for all commemoratives, buy the commemorative album. I guess the thinking was most collectors have a few of these they wanted to...
Yes and no. Those who do not really know how to grade just blindly accept the slab grade, and pay accordingly. Only those who know how to grade...
