You wouldn't be the first person I knew who vaccuum-seals stored coins.
Because the technical merits of the coin - to the NGC grader - do not exceed MS63. I agree - I'll remove a grade for truly execrable eye appeal,...
Well, I'm seeing VF details, making this about a $1500 coin in righteous condition. Kirkuleez probably has the street value about right, maybe...
OK, then we *are* talking about different things, because I see no argument with anything you're saying. :)
For me, that adds up to an MS64 in everything but name, and I'd expect 64 money (maybe more because of the toning) for it. Of course, as an 1881-S...
Interesting point, Burton. If the US Government owns copyright on the design, how could anyone else ever copyright a realistic image of that design?
I'm not saying it isn't possible, but I've yet to see a known counterfeit 1911-D with both the obverse wire rim and reverse scallops in place as...
Then go to that thread, and contradict the law we're quoting there which disagrees with you. Present evidence. I will cheerfully change my mind in...
We don't appear to be. I'll concede we're just arguing semantics if your "but they can become more apparent over time" can mean "you can't see...
Let's keep reading, shall we? In fact, we'll start at the very beginning of it, 17 USC 101, "Definitions." Here's an excerpt, bold mine: A coin...
I wasn't aware of people blocking me, and am unworried if they do. I'm not here for them. Why, exactly, do you think I said what I did? Could it...
It's not like having had a coin embedded in it would stop me from eating a Tootsie Roll. :) A small/narrow shot glass makes a neat holder for...
There's a certain "critical mass" point, and it'll happen earlier than you think at the rate you're investing attention, where things start making...
Yes, you ask a lot of questions. You also listen carefully & intelligently and never fail to thank respondents. Some folks are more fun to teach...
Well, my experience is different than yours.
Nope. Seems the offending auctions have disappeared. :)
The worst thing is, the law under which they're defined as legally liable for it is already in force. The amendments to the Hobby Protection Act...
I see no reason to doubt its' authenticity.
No guarantee the spots were there when they were graded. They don't *have* to develop immediately. Could take years.
Yes, and it points to another complication - the fact that someone's bidding on a given coin doesn't mean they know how much to pay for it. Or,...
Separate names with a comma.
