There is a good chance that you will never buy another gold coin under those conditions.
That's nice, especially the detail in the hat, hair and border. But now you're carving up silver. Pretty soon you'll start carving up gold....
Congratulations. I'm surprised. That's why I hesitate to even guess at the grade of a potentially uncirculated coin. Everything in the world is...
Big marketing win for NGC. I want to see the GSA gols coins, but I doubt I'll buy one. It seems unlikely that there aren't a few government...
I would say both would grade about F12. I don't know of any way to release the Morgan from captivity without executing the prisoner. Maybe...
Good advice. I withdraw my earlier recommendation.
The coin as already started toning, and doesn't look bad at all. I'd keep it stored the way it is and see what happens. Silver is pretty cheap...

Don't clean them in any way. Don't rub them, rinse them, or touch the surfaces. Regardless of how well meaning or gentle you are, or how much...
I like it too, but I don't know if it will turn out to be a profitable item. Some of the gold commems sell for fairly large premiums over the...
Speedy, I think I probably see more PCI graded coins than any other single company, but I never purchased one. Since you and your dealer have...
I don't know the answer to this, but it would be interesting to know. Presumably with the price of gold down and the price of the commemoratives...
There's spelling in the South? I thought the only thing you needed to remember to speak "southern" was that there was only one vowel sound - a...
I have a couple of ANACS graded proofs with some haze and it doesn't seem to affect the grade.
I would say it looks cleaned and is worth about $12
Yes. :D I think it is just about the closest thing to a sure thing going right now for anyone with at least a 5 year time horizon. The analysis...
