Another 1886 MS64 DMPL....in the OGH (actually the 1st PCGS holder, it's really not green). The seller wants a HUGE premium which I don't think...
Moose, my post a page or so back has a link to virtually ALL The PCGS holders since 1986 with all the variations. I think the guy also has one...
Any thoughts on that white streak and those concentrated micro-abrasions at 9 o'clock ? I haven't seen them before.
Great minds think alike, MD !! I did and have done so. Even offered an amount you suggested. How was it received ? Let's just say my offer...
Here's an 1886 MS64 DMPL: FMV is $450 in the PCGS Guide, but if that's high by 10-20% (lagged pricing?) then maybe the CAC compensates and it's...
That makes more sense. Congrats ! Interesting coin + slab.
That is a slab I've seen very rarely. No idea if the grade is under or overgraded. You paid $145 and got offers for $100 ??:wideyed:
Agreed.....said "64" before I scrolled down for comments. I don't LIKE the toning but didn't detract for that because I believe toning itself is...

Good to know....and as I buy fewer but more expensive coins I do alot of DD before buying. The fraud involving recent American Eagles was...
Is there a Basics or Primer on slab tampering somewhere on CT or the web ? Don't know anything about the basics, seems, what to look or feel...
If these slabs are somehow unopenable without destroying something that makes re-sealing them impossible, great. I knew the average Joe Schmoe...
Me, no. But what about Chinese counterfeiters looking to spend less money than on a coin press or whatever to sell counterfeits ? Open up a...
That's not necessary.....would rather they spend more time on the coins during grading or more security precautions to prevent counterfeits....
Agreed, but I think the cost of modern technology can easily be spread over the few million coins they grade every few years. If they wanted to...
What is "CCF" ??
Correction: I have PCGS slab version 4.0 which was used from January of 1990 through part of 1995. Version 5 used from 1995 through Oct of 1998...
Damn, it's crazy when you not only have to worry about counterfeit coins but now counterfeit slabs and CAC stickers, too. :rage: I know it's not...
Contact him quick, I think he will take $39,000-even !!:D
Check out this story of FBLs and upgrades....very interesting even though I have zero interest in Franklins:...
