Heck, $5k in Cents is a couple normal years for a dedicated roll searcher. :P
If there is a mark visible to the naked eye on a coin, it isn't a 70. These are therefore counterfeits, marks on the outside of the slab, or...
OK, I'll buy it. I've seen this sort of optical illusion a million times; it's not your technique.
I'd call that reasonable pricing if the coins are actually solid 64's and their eye appeal works for you. In the real world, the 1910-D seems to...
I've been athletic all my life and still can't jump as far as some around here do to reach a conclusion. We've no chance at a fair (to you)...
My thoughts are, anything numismatic which comes out of Eric Newman's mouth is worth paying money to hear. Except he's in the process of putting...
Yeah, this is another thing too. Have you contemplated simply contacting the seller and getting things straightened out?

You guys actually think this is OK?
Yeah, I was wondering why everybody's calling it a lamination. Never seen a lamination in the shape of unconnected letters before. :)
The fun part is finding the stuff you didn't know you wanted. :) I wandered away from our table at one show, looking for a nice AU SLQ. Came back...
I'm grateful that you bumped the thread to give me the chance to see this spectacular coin. :) This one changes the Condition Census for the...
The fundamental problem is that atmosperic conditions could easily seal an unsealed envelope at some point during its' long history, with...
At the risk of sounding like Captain Obvious, I think your best bet is to steel yourself to hit every table if possible. The places where you know...
