On the other hand, as you observe the Carson City GSA's pretty much define their market, as we can assume the overwhelming majority of the...
You should have a look at the GSA coins lacking CC mint marks. You'll see your GSA price inflation then. :) Heck, the last Philadelphia GSA...
I don't believe they'll sign off on it.
I'm not arguing the grade with that evidence. :)
Yeah, I kinda doubt there's a market for so many copies of one coin. :) I don't know what the Pops were like before this guy, but 1949-S is now...
Welcome to CT. Cleaning does not increase "eye appeal," and does not increase grade. It is universally considered damage, and drastically reduces...
You can see a similar attitude afoot in modern computer programming. I have Comcast, and their system does not allow me to use my 2020-dated debit...
Can't disagree. I did more playing with levels and color than I posted here (those are as much a guess as anything), and was unable to come up...

Odd. On the one hand, the images are of tremendous quality and indicate a coin with really odd surface features. On the other hand, the seller is...
Something besides the most important Internet numismatic book archive outside the Newman Numismatic Project....
St. Louis is perennially in the top 5 most dangerous cities in the country, boasting a higher murder rate per capita than Chicago. Currently #4 in...
Well, it doubles from $200 to $400+; it's about as cheap as you can get a Peace in MS66, close by 1923-P. All this one needs is to be plunked down...
Depends on who you ask about the shellac. :vamp: Otherwise, listen to kanga. Protect it from oxygen foremost, humidity second-foremost, and...
I was on my phone earlier, and wanted to get home to the monitor before considering grade. VF-25 for me.
