Hmmmmmmm, yes. Another term to define. What is damage? Is a lamination damage? Double/Multiple strikes? All the other weird things that can...
The relationship between the descriptive grades and the Sheldon grades is fuzzy at best. After a quick Google search the majority of sites say BU...
But to me this brings up the question of when does damage become post Mint? Is ANY "normal" damage that occurs within the Mint facility not...
NCS seems to be of questionable ability. I sent an slabbed gold coin (PCGS I think) to them that was known to have PVC contamination. I just...
Thanks for all the help. I'll just have to make sure that I'll have my catalog with me when I go shopping. Remembering serial number letter combos...
I can think of two reasons for those listings: 1. The seller doesn't have a clue. 2. Keyword spamming (his listings get looked by people searching...
Take a look at Capital Plastics, here: http://www.capitalplastics.com/ They do those sorts of specialty holders.
You handle your camera and Photoshop very well. One minor negative comment. Your first image with the overlapping coins will cause some potential...
Ah, I see. Thanks. Is there a specific measurement for the reverse design on each? That's not necessary to know as long as I can match up the...
Same thing with Teletrade. What I do is decide what I want to pay for a coin. Then I subtract 15%. Finally I subtract S&H. That results in what...
I know that on some holders the hologram was on the OUTSIDE of the slab. Some people put a sticky label on it so that they can write pricing...
I'm trying to determine what the difference between Wide (margins?) vs. Narrow (margins?). I can use the Serial Numbers to determine the...
I'm surprised it's ONLY 15%. Some of these heavyweights are going 20%. And there's no way to know S&H for sure. Estimate a shipping weight and go...
Good pickup. For your pictures us: - a bit more light - a non-reflective black ground That should be a good start in improving them.
There are several other grading guides too. One that is most often used is the ANA Grading Standards. BTW, they won't all agree. But since you...
I strongly suggest that you look at their buyer's fees and S&H. If you don't -- STICKER SHOCK!!! At a minimum you want to take them into account...
Good going. Nice group of coins. Two comments about imaging coins: 1. Use a non-reflective black or dark gray background. White backgrounds...
I know how to characterize them. They are called "collectors on a limited budget". Everything I have is a "one of" for me.
Your Morgan set should be put together with a definition made by you. The Red Book is a good starting point. Ignore date/mm/varieties you don't...
It's important to keep up melt values. Just checked and WL's melt value AT THE MOMENT is $14.20. But like the weather, change is imminent.
