OK guys, here is the update. I received the coin in the mail today and after inspection, I still don't know. The coin is radically different...
That is a good idea and I might do that. My method of taking the photos is a little primitive, but with some very simple photoshop techniques, I...
Good Eye Spock. The two finest coins in the set and the only true uncirculated examples. The 1897 I purchased from a popular E-Bay seller who...
How about the fact that a genuine 1916-D sells for over $100 in P01 and $15,000 in MS63. Now honestly, if you had a $15K coin, would you sell it...
It is no so much that the coins are not nice, some of them are. However, I would say that I overpaid for at least half of the coins in this...

It is not the coin dealers that are creating the monopoly, it is the self slabbers themselves. The third world TPG's (NNC, NAC etc) have created...
Ok, this coin was auctioned by Heritage in 2006. It is a 1945-S NGC MS67* Anyone want to take a guess at what the price realized was without...

Guess the grade of this 1899-O Morgan Dollar and provide you reasons for your grade. [IMG]
No major distractions, I give it a solid MS65.
First, I would like to say that you are very observant. I do collect mostly NGC coins because I think the white background gives a better...
I googled Numismatic Authentication Company and found this guide on E-Bay that pretty much sums it up....
Here is a mint state example. I don't like it as much as the proof, but I still think it is pretty cool. [IMG][IMG] Reverse Holdered Sacagawea,...
