We can't even get people to accept the appropriate definition of a "cud," much less teach them authentication. :P
It wouldn't be reasonable of me to handle the Morgan Dollar if I were not also willing to take care of the Peace. @Cascade, this is where you step...
Not a chance. If it looked like they were dying, I'd join the effort to start a new one so authentication and sight-unseen trading could exist....
In this case, looking at the forum before posting at it would have done; both competing threads would have been at the top of the page. :) Not...
Highly unlikely. With the advent of the Internet, the market has morphed into a significantly "sight unseen, bought from someone I don't know"...
My thoughts are, there's already two other threads about this. :)
I just can't figure out what they were thinking or how it would benefit them. The only current theory is they've simply become that_incompetent.
I bet NGC Pops will be increasing soon. :vamp:
Quick look at the first two issues mentioned, the 1912-S in 66 and 1939-S in 67: Over the last ten years, NGC went from 5 to 13 on the Nickel in...
Oooh. That's gonna leave a mark. :D I'm pretty sure Heritage's Pop numbers are as of the time of the auction; a little research should indicate...
This one doesn't carry any premium for the variety, being the most common 1891-CC. It's probably not worth resubmitting for the attribution if...
Only if it looks circulated. It'll need to be a bare minimum of MS66 to even comp the cost of having it graded.
Ain't no "could" about it. :) The only sure thing from these photos is that this item is round.
$5.34 for a card of 5 batteries (CR1620's) at Amazon. And the glasses are $5 on Ebay. You get what you pay for.
I have the impression of "patina" as some natural chemical aging process related to interaction of atmospheric chemicals with the metal of the...
No, it's not. Their definition (particularly PCGS, a publicly-held company) is, "whatever best serves the shareholder tail wagging the dog." We...
Did you fail to catch the already-made point that there is a list of varieties (for each TPG) that they automatically attribute, or are you just...
The reverse feature certainly seems a planchet issue and not damage. The grade is a language I don't speak, although it seems roughly equivalent...
I cold see myself specializing in stuff like that. Tres cool. :)
The quality of the imagery doesn't leave me 100% certain either way. Unfortunately, genuinely superior pics are required for any comfort with...
Separate names with a comma.
