...and one Positive from a buyer who was happy with his obvious counterfeit.
It all boils down to whether or not you care that others will succeed you as owners of these coins. If you do not care, you should find another...
The doubling should be quite clear in these images - they're more than good enough. I'm not seeing it.
....except for the fact that 1923-S goes up almost 10x in value from MS64 to MS65. You misled him there, too. Heritage, two moths ago. MS64 (and...
Boston on one end, New York on the other end, and Alabama in the middle.
I think he's shooting jpg's instead of RAW for workload considerations, and skewing towards his "average" coin with in-camera processing, which...
1879 and 1880 shared a single reverse die for the Proofs, and it's never been seen on a Business Strike. It's characterized by one large and one...

It's exacerbated by the fact that one's opinion of coins offered online is wholly dependent upon the quality and character of the images offered,...
Not at all, but they knowingly support a seller who uses deceptive sales practices simply because it allows them to dump their problem coins. The...
I'm actually relieved - it sure didn't look like a scratch/PMD and as a from-the-Mint feature it'd be a major discovery. :)
Keep in mind, very few of us go to the effort of optimally lighting the coins we observe in-hand. We grab a lamp, a gooseneck or folding banker's...
Contemplate what this says about many dealers, given that they're knowingly complicit in the process of cracking and reselling problem-slabbed...
