It was already slabbed. I just had then put the variety attribution on the label. So it didn't have to go through the whole grading process.
It was outdated before it was ever printed. I buy one about every 5 years; my current one is a 2008. And I don't use it for pricing.
Just got my coin back from PCGS. Bought it at the Baltimore Whitman show April 1. I sent it in for variety attribution. It's particularly nice...
1. The seller has a bad reputation. 2. Why even consider such a coin if it's not been slabbed.
First, learn your teminology. You are describing a 2x2, NOT a flip. Second, in general there are two types of "green" problems, and mostly...
IMO the coin is fairly priced. It's about halfway between the Greysheet and Coin Values.
Agreed, no one can tell with 100% certainty. I don't even believe the published numbers of the quantity struck are 100% accurate. Many numbers...
Yes there is. It's called "experience". Since these coins are now 75+ years old, experienced dealers plus the TPG's have a VERY accurate feeling...
For high grade coins I suggest Intercept Shield albums.
I can see it making a grade of Fine. IF it's real and IF it's original surfaces the Greysheet says $130.
As far as being pleasant AND customer oriented, JJ Teaparty would be hard to beat. But I think their coins are a bit overpriced.
Can you be more specific about what make you think it might have been cleaned? Somrthing is going on there. I first thought it might be on...
I bought 5 coins of significance (to me) plus 7 inexpensive items. Two of the 5 are at a TPG, one at NGC and the other at PCGS. But I had also...
I'm working with a commem in an OGH right now. It appears to be rotated about 150-160° CCW. I'm not going to mess with it. It's an MS-65 and I...
Depends upon what you're interested in. If you want to see top-level small cents (Indian Head and Lincolns) stop by Angel Dee's. That's the only...
SEGS and PCI are okay if you take a close look. I would buy from them if I liked the coin, but I'd do a crossover to NGC.
In about 12 hours I'll be standing in the lobby wait for them to let us in. I'll walk in at 10AM, bear to the right, walk about 50 feet and I'll...
It's free starting at 10AM Friday. I'm guessing they cut off the online registration once the show starts and that was today. Remember there's...
I was going to suggest a strike made shortly after the dies had been inserted. The Mint didn't have the spacing and/or pressure correct. But I...
That's what I do when I go to the Philly Whitman show in Sept. I use Amtrak plus a cab. And I eat at that market just outside of the Convention...
