Yeah, there will be 3,000-4,000 people over the run...
517 = 440 + 17.5% bp 587.50 = 500 + 17.5% bp 705 = 600 + 17.5% bp If you check HA's site...
Two somebodies thought it had a chance at making the next grade and bid it up. They may also have seen it in hand at the preview.
The ACS (American Chemical Society) definition...
I'm going to bet that you meant clever, but I really like the thought of cleaver. If you'll pardon the pun and even if you won't, it cuts right to...
Well, what do you want (raw, certified)? Details OK? Grade? Special features like well struck? They are out there, just not a lot of nice pieces....
Nice strike on that 51O - see how the diamond, orbs and even the top bar in the reverse C are full?!? Lovely...
The digitalization is complete, you can access through Money.org once you are logged in as a member.
As you said, that's self slabbed in an unsealed holder you can order from China ( note the finger notches top and bottom). I have several of these...
Are there contemporary counterfeits? Heck yeah - I own two. Actually often more valuable that the real thing. But not hard to tell... letters are...
nice clashed '55 AU55 maybe - there is a touch of wear on the highest points of the reverse (Diamond, arrow and ribbon), obverse looks pristine.
They met the need... Remember this is 1850. Don't have a post office on every corner and supermarkets selling stamps. A business in town might go...
Especially on the rarer dates... You see it in the TPG stats, in the % of details coins. For example (at NGC) 1878 8TF Morgan - 11,395 graded,...
Major PIDT - see the outlines of the C on star side and the more common star on the C side? I would need to see it in hand, the top of the...
No. There is no assurance that the certs matched the coin. The certs were shunted off to update the pops (having the paper is evidence it's no...
Well, I have an 1851O marked (and sold as) and 1851... Agreed
All of the (reputable) TPGs make mistakes. Even 5 9s means 1 error per 100,000 - and when you do 30M items, that's 300 errors. They call them...
That's a very nice '62 - not the best strike, but over all gorgeous... Apropos of what I was saying ATS about the diff between a 65 and 67, see...
Progressive Indirect Die Transfer. Basically even through the planchet, the shock waves transfer between the reverse and obverse dies and...
Honestly Bill, those pics are so bad, I couldn't argue with VF20 on the reverse. Try using a book or a block of wood to at least hold the phone...
