I admit that there are quotas for modern coins and the abuses of the "first stike/release" terminology are despicable, but I wasn't referring to...
TWITA This coin is as cool as the other side of the pillow and it's photo deserves to be on every page of this thread. Photo-bump! Wicked cool...
I think we need to remember that this coin is a nickel. You guys are seeing this coin with a huge photo that magnifies every minor abrasion....
Ben, I think your logic is flawed because of your perspective. The fact is that the TPG's do not have a vested interest in the final grade other...

Yeah, my first bid was $75. I was outbid on that last day and before I knew it, the coin was at $155 (the winners original bid). I decided that...
I agree with that, without that PCGS plastic, nobody would touch that with a ten foot pole. But once they say the toning is market acceptable,...
By that methodology, you can't single out specific coins. The whole coin market should/will collapse. I know one thing, the coin in this thread...
I agree with Categories 2 & 3. Regarding category 1, what will happen first? The collapse of the toned coin market or the people that predict...
