I actually rather like it. One advantage of the design is it gives them less room to fill up with extraneous verbiage unless they want to cover...
I quite concede the possibility. It's a plausible and believable theory, well-supported by the visual evidence. That kind of process probably...
This is possibly my all-time favorite image set. It was shot back in March 2007, and I had just acquired my first high-quality imaging setup - an...
Just in case my actual opinion was hidden by the wall of text I just posted, let me make it clear: This is possibly the most egregious case I've...
"Dear PCGS, Please put down the crack pipe. Sincerely, Me" My mind, it is boggled. Where do I start? Um....well, it's B-3. We can tell that...
Wow. I'm not an expert on fractional gold, but I don't see any clear sign that it's not a genuine example. Yeah, you're on a roll. :)
"MS" means "Mint State," by definition not circulated. Doesn't mean that coins found in circulation haven't made it into MS slabs.
All other things being equal, this thread will now appear in a Google search for the cert. I just confirmed that by searching "PCGS 16283532."
In cases like this, I think to myself, "What's the grade if that one_single_hit isn't there?" The answer to that question for this one is "a solid...
People like the ones who understand the historical value of well-preserved Morgans, and like them so much to still want to wear one as jewelry....

A Fractional? Holy Toledo, you're on a run. :D
Yeah, not even sending the correct denomination is kind of a textbook SNAD. :)
He shoots, he scores. :) I take it you were unaware of the rarity of the 1911-D before? There are known die markers to those who are aware of...
We're just going to agree to disagree on this one. No hard feelings, of course, but I'm never going to believe your theory possible, much less...
It hasn't exactly fallen off the side, but I'd call this a little more than "slightly" off center. :) I think it's a far more interesting coin...
Only the place where the lines are visible has been touched at all, and it was a heckuva coin in the first place. Still a heckuva coin; look at...
Alan, you going to be in Baltimore?
That works. It's clear this mistake is on him, and it should be noted I react to these kind of threads with the viewpoint of a seller, not a...
Hmmm. I thought the gouges interfering with viewing angle would have an effect, considering the tiny distances involved. But like I said, I've...
