In my experience, they don't usually tell you what was wrong with it. And I agree, they look much better now.
I laughed. Cool coins.
For those who may be unfamiliar with the story, can you tell us a little bit about these Omega counterfeits, and why you are so excited to have...
It probably wouldn't affect us much at all. We mostly collect older coinage, and the modern coins are minted by the billions. They have very...
It's hard to tell what is going on under the second column, but based on those images I'm going to say not FS.
Perhaps I chose my words wrong. What I meant is that the colors all follow "ROYGBIV". That is sometimes not true with AT coins. Feeling is based...
Your link is working now. Hot dang, those are gorgeous.
Sorry, VKB, but I think that is a load of bollocks. I've been collecting for 32 years, and I've never been to one of those classes. I've read...

There may be many more willing than are able. By all means, for those able, attend the ANA summer seminar. I'm sure it is fantastic. But far more...
Ian Russel estimated in 2015 that there were 10 million coin collectors in the US. You think they can all fly to coin-Mecca and learn grading from...
Well, that is actually really cool then. How can you tell?
Your link appears to not work. It takes me to a page and says "no images found"
It graded because, although it is *highly* unusual, it also looks perfectly natural to me. The color progression from light to dark looks...
Haha, imagine what John Reich and Charles Morgan would say!
Well now, that would be ideal. But that's also highly impractical for the vast majority of people. So, for everyone else, what would you...
Yes, I read his book twice. And then I played around with the settings and the lighting and the camera that I had until I found something that...
