Since I'm into Registry Sets my coins all have to be slabbed. Hence I'm VERY careful about buying raw coins. If a coin can't be slabbed it does me...
If you buy a coin with a problem you'll always have a coin with a problem.
Seller has a questionable rep.
That's what I considered about the "R" value but without naming a specific issue I had no real idea what the OP meant by "N" value.
Where are you seeing that?
Oops, I missed the word "not" when I read your title. Just think of everything else as being in the "not" category. That'll be close to the truth.
Pre-20th century US with a leaning towards copper.
I'll only use ANACS if they have a special that I can take advantage of. Otherwise it's PCGS or NGC for me.
Nice. And your terminology is correct. It's a planchet since it's gone through the rim creation process. It's called a blank if it's only been cut...
I believe that if there has already been a bid a seller cannot change ANY part of a listing.

Don't forget, gold gets a bit of slack in grading because it's the softest of the coining metals.
Way overpriced based on the gold CAC. And I think some of the price is based on the rainbow toning. But a big chunk of the higher bids are based...
Ooooo, a Charlotte $1. If I recall they generally go for more than the half eagles.
Since I like Registry Sets there is no special album for my type set. All my coins are slabbed. I used to use Eagle Certified Coin Albums but they...
I've GOT to re-image mine. The images are too small. You can see the overdate but not well enough (not like the pics in this thread). A lot of my...
I don't consider this a cherrypick. As I understand the term it's a buyer recognizing a better coin that a seller didn't. In my case neither of us...
A quick look shows me that PCGS (FB) and NGC (FT) coins are essentially the same. BUT I think NGC is "softer" on the criterion for Roosies than...
If you want to "invest" in silver as bullion ignore 90% silver coins. Big buyers will pay less per ounce because they take into account the cost...
Separate names with a comma.
