That’s the hope. Unfortunately that’s not been my experience lately. What I’m seeing is either 1) people bidding up some of those honestly graded...
It’s true that if you’re in it for fun, you’ll be outcompeted. And even when it’s for fun, this stuff matters since getting the coin you want...
What people spend doesn’t bother me either. I might wonder about the thought process that led to a certain bid or think that the price was too...
I can only wish. Unfortunately it’s completely unpredictable. A lot of the coins, like some of the ones I posted here, look fully maxed out to me...
Here is that example. It sold on Stacks (as a 65) at the end of February 2018 for $1,860 and then brought $2,747.25 at Great Collections (as a 66)...
Can NGC upgrade coins? Yes, I’ve seen it, but not for 67/68 grades (I think more focus on getting the grade at PCGS because they know those will...
That one is particularly bad (probably worse than the 67+ Franklin as at least the color on that one looked more attractive than on this dime)....
It's probably not beneficial to PCGS to leave that thread up. Poofing solves (erases) all issues. :p
The 65+ was rebeaned as a 67+ (I don’t know if AB sent it in when it made 68). The NGC 66 wasn’t beaned and still upgraded to PCGS 67+ The other...
What I find particularly interesting is that these are all relatively new slabs (I believe the oldest are still post 2010) and many of the sales...
It might be worth a try as I’ve seen quite a few average coins do well. Will you be as fortunate? No one can tell for sure, but you might be...
It didn’t get a ton of traction, but here is the other thread: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/ebay-and-ngc.342098/
@Johndoe2000$ takes the round by being closest to the $928.12 final price. This was another one that shocked me as I saw nothing special in it. I...
From what I have read it's 2-4 for the top two. PCGS says 3-4: "In all cases, at minimum, 3-4 graders are assigned to every coin for grading and...
I went with B as it seemed to be the cleanest overall (as a few others mentioned). C appears to have the nicest color, but it also seems to be...
I’m certain it would be poofed pretty quickly. Was that Mercury Dime thread poofed? I read the first few replies but never went back to it and...
I was going to change it up, but it’ll have to wait until next time. This coin sold this weekend and guide is around $100-$125. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

I agree that it’s high (probably even for a 65) considering it is a modern Lincoln Cent. On the other hand, some of these dates are likely scarce...
You should have guessed $126 to lock me out. :D
