Most of us know what gradeflation is: resubmitting a coin to a top TPG repeatedly until it gets a higher grade, thus making the coin more...
I watched that auction in the Heritage room. Just after it, a 1916-D mercury dime in MS65 FB went for $40,000 (plus the juice), and I watched a...
Me and jaceravone are here as well. Just arrived.
Long ago, the set that gave me the most satisfaction was a circulated ag-vg set in the Dansco 7070 (without the gold). All the coins were...
I wanted a BU problem-free Dansco 7070 set including the gold page... all MS coins. It was extremely difficult to find problem-free classic coins...

[ATTACH] I honestly am a novice when it comes to grading Lincoln cents. This coin mystified me when I saw it. First impression was cleaned, then...
