So, to try to get this thread back on track, anyone else have an opinion why CAC would take out a full page ad in The Numismatist proclaiming how...
Paul, any post I make in the last year concerning TPG is in response to those who believe ONLY TPG graded coins are worthy of being collected. You...
First, 401k is tax advantaged. Second is instant profit from company match. AT LEAST always capture the company match. If you wish, you can always...
Again, nothing to do with CAC AT ALL, and writeen in response to Paul bringing up TPG in a CAC thread. He brought it up in his post #16, not I....
Since you quoted something, (something not in your "rules' btw, but later on), I will quote your "rules" to you Paul. "Here are the rules. If...
Well said sir. Detecto, I know you are enthusiastic, and see many things in black and white. Unfortunately the world is grey, something that will...
Much better said than in my post #3. I agree completely.
So, a collector who knows how to grade will not buy an overgraded coin so therefor will not have an example for Paul. A collector who does not...
Where I see an dangerous concern would be fake stickers on fake slabs that would be the same number as in the database. Someone in China fakes a...
Mike, my response you post was in response to TPG generically. TPG generically overgrades coins, labels AU's as MS, gives grade bumps routinely...
Detecto, coin collecting isn't necessarily about owning coins man. Look at Doug here. One of the most knowledgable collectors here and doesn't own...
It has gone months at least. However, TPG, toning, CAC, ultra high grade modern coins, all are going to be a topic brought up not the least since...
w1a9c8k5, I agree with Doug. For the record, I deal with sellers in China, Indonesia, Thailand, Russia, Ukraine, etc. A country never makes a bad...
True, and they will give your forearms a workout too! I used this method when I would crack one or two. I moved to the bandsaw if I get...
Bandsaw is pretty effective. Just bandsaw an inch, (2.5 cm) or so away from the coin, and it will come out fairly easily. Oh, one thing. Try to...
Here here. I quit collecting US coins before CAC, so I guess I am forbidden as well. One question though. In your OP Paul you wish people to...
Paul, first I spend about 1k, not 10k per month. Second, I am a collector so I don't think its so weird that I collect, not sell. Third, I was...
Congratulations Mat. It always feel good when you set your sites on a coin to finally get it. I am afraid I have been too stingy pursuing mine,...
To clarify, if, (and its not as easy as some may think), a doctor replicates the manner in which NT coins tone to begin with, is it AT at all, or...
The oil shortages were not about quantity, the US made it into that, it was about price. OPEC simply thought they should be able to charge more,...
