That was shot with a cheap, used dSLR in combination with a bellows and a used film duplicating lens. It was originally 10MP, more than double the...
This is a pretty solid indictment of PCGS, but not necessarily of CAC. It's possible they just chose not to give the original submission a Gold...
If they're all Mint State, they're technically worth rather more than was paid. I suspect the buyer intends to....reverse-engineer....the toning.
A little of both, I think, but I see your point. From a mass standpoint, most of the planchet of course ends up towards the center where the most...
I would suggest that you flogged the seller unmercifully. :)
It should be noted that these Dollars were not reeded....although there's plenty of other convincing evidence even in these pics, the presence of...
Nice try. :D
I'm right with you on grade. Nice honest coin, and I'd be pretty happy (and well in the black) to get it for $75.

I can't imagine a layer only a few molecules thick surviving a strike.
You see that a lot there, coins obviously just being repeatedly tried and failed upon by dealers. Hope springs eternal in the human breast. :)
I'm surprised that it didn't move on Ebay. Refer to my earlier mention of luck. :)
What a nice honest coin. It brooks no argument against the belief that it somehow survived better than 170 years completely without accident or...
It could be as innocuous as the person doing the keystrokes to change the database choosing the wrong reason for the alteration. "Grade deleted"...
Honestly, it's a case - at the "actual numismatic dealer" level as opposed to Ebay - where supply exceeds demand by a margin so huge that it's...
One can only draw that line oneself.
There are MS63 Morgans with slabbed Populations over 100,000 just in grade, much less higher grade. And very darn few whose premium from 63-64 is...
