Size really isn't important in this situation. The fake ones are the standard size of the coins they are meant to represent. The smaller ones...
Alright gang, This is going to be kinda of a crude test... but I hope my message will ring clear. In the following pictures there are a mixture...
As someone who started my professional career in numismatics at age 15 I have to say that I really like to see the young man making an effort and...
I personally don't mind for people to use whatever they want in the shop... of course every dealer is going to be different. The greysheet can be...
Really? I thought it referred to Milligrams... It was explained to me that way once by someone in the plating buisness. I guess I wasn't giving...
I occasionally pay too much for stuff and from time to time lose money. I typically try my hardest to get my money back out of an item even if it...

That was my thought. A nice looking small eagle dollar sent to ANACS due to cost? Isn't that a several thousand dollar coin? What's $15 in...
Unfortunately these days dealers are't paying each other anything near bid for government issue stuff. As a dealer these days your lucky to get...
It's a simple question does this coin have enough eye appeal today to get the 67 bump? I'm going to send it through NGC in Boston and I want to...
