The graders would work WITH the computer programmers, just like the auto experts work with them. A bunch of coin graders would tell for each...
Agreed...but then we see coins in threads here and at other forums where they are CLEARLY mis-graded. By 2 or more numbers, I don't mean off by 1...
I got one a few months ago like that....I think DCAM, too....proof....about $50....didn't need it, but treated myself after doing all that driving...
This is how they do coins today, or at least how they helped design the 2009 UHR.
I'll take your word for it, and I am not an expert even on the coins I collect, but it seems to me that even 20 seconds is too short to look for...
Insider, not only what you said, but the TIME spent on each coin using technical grading and the equipment goes up a ton. The business model of...
When you all say "strike"...you mean relative to the die quality used, not in absolute terms ? If a particular die for a particular year or mint...
That's interesting....I get where you are coming from, but you mean to tell me that if you have 2 identical coins...and one has spectacular...
Agreed...but it wouldn't hurt to maybe have the 2nd grade listed....and best of all, a computerized photo record of the coin to prevent...
Should precious metals prices rise, I would expect that to be a panacea for the supply of bullion-tied coins like Saints and Morgans. But wheat...
This is going to take 1-2 minutes to do at least....will a TPG be willing to spend that amount of time per coin ?
Have the TPGs said where they are going with AI grading systems ? With lasers, MRI, PET scanning, and other scans...ability to image a coin in a...
I don't predict markets where I don't have an edge, and gold is one of them. That said....I don't know where the next $150 move in gold is, up or...
Wow, I didn't know Buddy Ebsen was a coin collector. Had some bigtime coins, too, from what I see.
Paying up for Proof is one thing, and getting a 69 or 70 (which 99.99% of all proofs probably are) isn't a bad thing. The rest of the label...
I don't think the folks getting laid off for the most part are the ones big into coin buying or participating in Ebay or HA or GC or Stacks...
Quick, let Marcia Brady know....she's looking for him. :D
Actually, if you read excellent books (and articles) by great researchers like Roger Burdette, it's not that surprising. Most of these hoards...
Yeah, the Proof Saints were alot of work for very little demand. One year they didn't even sell out the 500 they made.
$8 away from an 8-year high.....$1,742.
