Please don't describe something which permanently removes original metal from the coin as "safe." E-Zest is a desperation measure which is as...
I just geek out reading an EAC-level evaluation of an Early Copper. Nobody sweats the details like EAC. :)
Find the date doubling. Most of them start with that. No time to help, though - gotta work. :P
Not really. Folks who collect early copper aren't fans of slabs.
In truth, when PCGS is willing to do things like "First Strike" it's hard to get awfully worked up about some average Joe selling a couple extra...
Dancing Fire, you're beginning to look like the place all the undergraded old PCGS slabs have gone. :)
And I look at pristine coins and think, "Booooooring." Fortunately, there's room for both of us in this wonderful hobby. :)
So do we now post the Woodie stuff in two threads at once?
Man, you killed it on that copper. I really think the final 1858 needs more work, though.
Oh, that's why the second coin looked so much like a 65.... :wacky:
You're already into rare air with this issue at 64, there are only 23 at 65 (price doubles from 64) and 66 is Top Pop. PCGS isn't going to upgrade...
We've already discussed that in detail off-forum. You know exactly where I stand in regards to the greater hobby. :P
Yeah, none of the numbers we're talking about are exactly backbreakers, and you're plainly doing some homework here. :)
A lot of the "OMG NeverDoThis" advice offered is a hedge against a worst-case scenario; it's intuitive that there are ways you can handle a VF...
That works; jwitten didn't notice the wrap (I did, which is why I didn't flame you :) ). All the same, it's preferable to lean it against...
Here's the step order in which I evaluate an online coin image: 1) White Balance. Don't look at the coin first, look at the background. Is it the...
Good advice. I've taken it. :)
Fair enough. I know enough people who buy/sell coins at a consistent profit - I used to be one - to know the ability exists; it's just a matter of...
We discuss it. Incessantly, we've been discussing it for as long as there have been two coin collectors communicating anywhere, and we will...
If I had that kind of turnover potential available, I sure as heck wouldn't be telling anyone about it. :)
