Because NGC is likely closer to the actual truth, meaning the coin is $1000 less valuable outside the slab in which it currently resides.
If advice that draconian is necessary, better to ship the stuff ahead of you. Fortunately, I'll be walking to the show. :P
There is a different standard, in a sense, because gold was more carefully produced and any error of this type in a gold coin is much less common...
Not a bad analogy anyway. :)
Brutally doubled on the obverse, and clashed with equal brutality as well. Busy coin. :) The reverse is doubled too, and the clash was so hard...
So who's the Grumpy Cat that doesn't like either of them? :P
You didn't do too awful bad, and the prominence of the doubling helps. :) Definitely an added-value feature but it's tough to estimate any sort...
Yeah, that's about as good a place to hide a scratch as you'll find. :) Unfortunately, it should bear on the technical grade, just not as heavily...
Yeah, that's about as succinctly as it can be put. Unfortunately. Maybe we should start grading in dollar amounts. :)
Well, don't discount the remaining value of the S-VDB. It's not inconsiderable, and the coin is important enough to consider things carefully and...
Terrific coin. Strong strike - they get weak at the obverse periphery and yours isn't. Is that a scratch along the jawline? It's in shadow, and...
Tannerite.
I lean towards thinking it on the slab because of the location change. This is very possible given differing lighting angles; I've seen it a...
To my limited knowledge and belief, CAC has made no formal stand on the topic. It just doesn't make sense given their mission that they'd care one...
Only to those who do not understand "numismatic value." It's a damaged coin, worth less "numismatically" than one which is not damaged. I'm...
A "+" next to the grade is still only a part of the TPG's grade. CAC doesn't care at all about the "+" except to the extent that a coin so...
The color looks a bit unnatural, for sure, although in your images I see a bit too much yellow tint. Shoot on a monochrome background - white in...
The 3CN. A Proof 3CN has been on my short list for a long time. And Pinnacle does layaways. :D
Both Peace and Morgan Dollars were minted in Philadelphia in 1921. Only Morgans were minted in Denver and San Francisco that year. The distinction...
Ain't touchin' it. :)
