I think I must have missed something. What did PCGS blow? They called it genuine. At the time you submitted, it was standard practice to return...
I've been saying for *years* that PCGS pictures were far too red-shifted. Your little Russian coin does appear to be a particularly egregious...
There are a couple of different outcomes that could affect the price: 1. If there is some chance for negotiation, the market might be gambling...
There's a high chance that those are artificially toned.
From the auction description:
I didn't nuke anything. I didn't report anything, either. A moderator removed posts that were off-topic and political in nature. Politics is not...
I should add: compared to the other 3, your registry coin clearly has superior eye appeal. However, in the grand scheme of things, I really...
Coin 1: I called it a 66, but I'm ok with a 65. If the luster is as weak as both sets of images indicate, 65 is tops. Coin 2: Called it a 66,...
DefDam CircCam There seems to be a bit of slang that pops up on any board. I wonder how many other slang terms we use that aren't known outside...
Ah, that's my ranting long-way-round of saying this coin has been wedged and hammered, definitely post mint damage. You'll find this sort on etsy...
Whenever I encounter a piece like this, my first response is: explain to me what error you think might have caused this? If you can come up with...
Yeah, I honestly couldn't care less about this so-called "error." It's a bunch of nonsense, a manufactured piece of tripe. I'd give you $20 for...
Its kinda like we've been chatting, discussing, arguing, disagreeing, and admiring each others coins for over 10 years.... Weird ;)
Oh man, that sucks - especially since that appears to be an exceptional coin.
Not exactly. For a long time, PCGS had a contract to license the PCGS brand to another company, which graded notes under the license. PCGS chose...
1: 66 no-FS. Moderate eye appeal. Well struck, but marks across the steps preclude the designation. Luster is impeded by toning. This one doesn't...
It doesn't really matter what I collect. I'll choose the right grading company for the material I collect. In any case I want them to be...
So, I think it started out with somebody bought pcgs and we have no idea what that means for them. We don't know if that means they'll be better...
I don't pay them to make mistakes. I pay them to be consistent and accurate. These are the experts. If they are not consistent and accurate......
1. Is there any particular reason you're looking for one? Besides numismatic history? 2. I'll bet any worth cracking have long since been hit by...
Separate names with a comma.
