Yep. Since it's unlimited, it will be more than enough to satisfy collector demand. There's no reason to believe these will ever appreciate with...
I don't get it either. Probably a mixup; an MS65 sold for big money but they got confused when putting stuff up on the site and got the wrong...
...on early copper and silver !
If it were mine, I would certainly give it a try... assuming I felt the coin is really a 64. Some folks use logic like : "It's in an old holder,...
I'm thinking MS63... but it might pull a 64 ! Big price difference 'twixt 63 and 64... those S-mint Peace are notoriously weak strikes. Good...
Great posts from the specialists in Lincolns and Buffaloes ! Interesting. Thanks ! As a type collector, I am less specialized, which is both...
Yep... destined for the same fate, and for the same reason. Hype leads to the "fools rush in" syndrome, temporarily and artificially inflating...
I'm guessing the number of folks who stick with it will be similar to historical patterns : some folks never leave the hobby, but most old-timers...
For those who love Casablanca... Remember Claud Rains as the Prefect of Police ? If I may paraphrase one of his best lines... "I'm shocked......
Neither. I would never do that. Eye appeal varies so much within a given numerical grade, one should at least get a really great photo. No way...
There might be more than one reason why they do that. Perhaps RLM's thinking is part of it. "Why are the prices unrealistically high ?" is...

For submissions, I prefer NGC. Cheaper, faster turnaround, and I feel they are more coinsistent. Also, for marginal coins, they will still slab as...
On rare occasions, I swim against the flow ! :rolleyes: heh Yes, I did. Thanks ! I called the dude and haven't heard back. I'll follow up.
Is there something about shield nickels that they frequently have funk in the lettering ? Now that you mention it, I recall shopping for proof...
MS64*. A higher grade wouldn't surprise me. For me to grade it any lower, I would be suffering from tequila hangover. :mad: :mad: :mad:...
Well, Ben, the first thing that jumps out is the color. On the obverse, the bust has a cameo appearance which looks unnatural, perhaps an...
Yep ! That's a good word, right there.
re: eye appeal vs. grade... I don't think grade, by itself, is ever the true issue. Grade only leads us to price, which is the real issue - the...
You darn right you can ! If you think TPGs are all over the map with consistency, I have found coin show dealers FAR worse. Hobbyists too. TPGs...
Separate names with a comma.
