Full Steps are nice but I personally don't go crazy over a Jefferson just because it has full steps or condemn the coin because it doesn't. I...
Compared to the 1,800 PCGS/NGC listings, I consider that a drop in the bucket and not worth crying over.

How did E-Bay's decision devalue most coins trading in the marketplace when most of the $2,500+ coins already reside in PCGS or NGC plastic? I...

Well Mike, I have not read a complaint about gradeflation in years, but I have read many threads that discuss how the CAC has caused a perceived...
