Since it's almost all pure profit anyway, it makes sense to counterfeit relatively common issues with a large demand base (by comparison to keys...
The PCGS Auction Results site, http://www.pcgs.com/auctionprices/ , has all of the Heritage archive as part of what it lists, but also adds...
OK. There isn't enough evidence from the background as to how close the color is, but if the lighter-color threads are actually white, then...
DMPL is not a subjective judgment, but a physical observation of measurable characteristics of a coin. It isn't like grading. At least, it is to...
The test I use is the distance the surface - and all of the fields on both faces have to do this to meet the requirement - will clearly and...
I'm not so pessimistic. A carefully-thought-through approach acknowledging the laws of physics and chemistry can easily defeat the challenges...
Regardless of that, with your recent track record I'm about ready to bet whatever horse you tell me to. :D
Well, you have the coin in-hand and I don't. :) However, VAM-27/27A is a Far Date - this one is a Normal Date (almost Near) - and 27A has a...
That means you're seeing it clearly. They're answerable to the stockholders, not the customers, and we live in a world where quarterly results can...
I'm exactly the opposite - clinically judgmental about the stuff I have in my hand or am considering, and endlessly optimistic about everything...
"PL" has nothing whatsoever to do with grade. If the TPG chooses to use the PL designation, a coin which clearly reflects at the distance they...
Well, they now have dedicated offices in Paris, Shanghai and Hong Kong, and must have expanded their assets sufficiently to cover those areas...
Agreed. You absolutely_must arrest this toning right now, though - a little more progress and it's not "pretty" any longer. Me, I'd have it in a...
If there's no air inside the airtight bag holding the coinage, there's no way for moisture to be there either. Employ mylar flips instead of...
The key to determining originality - as happens often - lies in the reeding. Plenty of color in the reeding here. Ever seen a coin that only toned...
It's a pretty decent strike - cotton bolls, talons and lower leaves all nicely defined - but the amount of surface chatter which doesn't lend...
Interesting. All of the "Dash 8" listings at VAMworld call for a Medium S, and yours sure looks like a Large S. The "high" and left-tilted nature...
OK, I straight-up lost it at the second pic. :D
They're going to listen to whomever resonates for them, and neither of us - nor anyone else - will ever make a horse drink when it isn't thirsty....
I have shipped virtually every single coin I've ever sold sandwiched between two pieces of cardboard, taped to one so it doesn't slip and sized to...
