You sound nervous with that post!
I didn't say that, you should be able to make money on the coin, there are always people who simply trust the plastic rather than their eyes. I...
Stars, plusses, stickers and toning have nothing to do with this conversation. The fact is that everyone but you and a handful of other old...
I have concerns from AT to environmental damage, but as discussed in a recent thread, I am tough on coins with terminal state toning. Since, in...
I don't understand. You bought a coin at auction for MS65-66 money, but you think a dealer who has tried to screw you in the past is going to pay...
Ridiculous is you trying to claim that carrying a pocket piece for 7 years is NOT circulation. Your perversion of semantics has truly reached a...
If any of the other TPGs published a book, it would be in those as well. If "wear is wear" holds true, please explain why almost every member of...

Yeah, but I recently referenced this thread in a post in a current thread, which explains its resurrection.
Are you not concerned why you were able to get what you believe is an MS68 for MS66 money at auction?
If it is silly, why do the TPGs and practically everyone else in the numismatic world disagree with you and Doug? Your precious "wear is wear"...
Doug, would you consider the coin a problem coin as is?
To whom? For experienced collectors like yourself, there would be no real upside in dipping the coin since the luster already seems to be...
I don't think that is what he is saying; he is talking about a specific series of coins, Saints, which all suffer some measure of high point rub....
