I agree. There's certainly nothing unethical about the seller abiding by the terms of sale - $3 each - and that's what he's doing. It's not...
I checked "other items for sale"... That's one heck of a fine selection of SGS he's got there !!! :rolling:
I have a book which states that many Indian $2.5s show evidence of die buckling and that usually shows up around the rim. That would also look...
Those look nice. All three of those are nice and clean in the fields and prime focal areas - Indian's cheek, eagle's shoulder, etc. Most have...
One of the problems with being overly "type focused" is it's harder to develop true expertise in any given one. One's attention is diverted over...
I'm working on a type set of US coins - it's my favorite ! Always has been. There's no way I'll be able to afford ALL types, so for the 18th...
Most references will refer to it as a "Saint Gaudens" (or simply a Saint) named after the sculptor. The mint made two different types of $20s...
Interesting that the obverse is toned, but the reverse isn't. I would think if only would side tones, it would be the "hidden" side - it's in...
It's well known the slabs aren't airtight; that's why storage is a hot topic. Is it possible to tone a coin after it's slabbed ?
Mixed opinions on this one. I am told that the graders have no idea where a piece came from - they simply grade the thing and move on. Others...
I think you got a good deal ! That's F-12 money and it likely will grade higher than that. More importantly, it's clean - corrosion free and...
It's really hard to tell from the pictures, so I won't venture a guess on grade. Here's greysheet prices for 1803 Small Date Small Fraction (per...
Your instincts are superb, Boris ! The 1849-D is a valuable piece. Get it certified. It's hard to tell from the photo, but it doesn't appear to...
There's another thread on this topic... http://www.cointalk.org/showthread.php?p=277831#post277831 Over there, one guy made the point that this...
I think your post is novel and well thought-out. However, I think it does hurt to not put the numerical grade. Some shop for a specific grade...
Yep... http://www.cointalk.org/showthread.php?t=28689
That is exactly right. Again... right on.
That's an important point. I thought about that. Personally, I think they would have little chance of winning. And yes, there is a precedent....
Personally, I think this is going too far. I see nothing wrong with discussion of value - we do it at shows all the time. There's no reason not to...
There's a LOT of truth to that. The internet has shifted power to the people - to post up, communicate, and deal with scams. CT is proof. EBay...
