Have you known or bought from this dealer for a long time? I take it the previous time he sold you a counterfeit he reimbursed you if you bought...
I always hold any coin of value by the edge. If it's a proof coin I use cotton gloves while holding by the edge.
It wasn't my intention to start this thread to pitch a new grading scale, but since I am criticizing the current scale I might as well propose a...

Maybe I'm misjudging things, but it seems like Kagin is intentionally being careful in his responses (possibly holding back information). Of...
Most of the items recovered are of unknown ownership. However, there are some items that are known to belong to certain passengers. For instance,...
