I did a test to see if I could post a link to a NGC Registry Set. The short answer is, "Nope". It makes sense in that a password is required to...
Because of the "distracting abrasions" descriptor AND the fact that slabbed coins realize higher prices, I don't think your conjecture is reasonable.
Based upon what I see in the greysheet the coin will currently max out at about $250. If it slabbed at AU-58 then it would be more like $400, more...
Hmmmmmm, strong possibility, particularly if a bit of moisture got involved. I believe that was the type of album I first used. BTW, NGC is now...
I need to dig it out again and take a close look with my 9x or 10x loupe. After that if I get a good weather day, I'll drop it into some acetone...
Agreed. "looks good" is correct. BUT since they don't have it slabbed I believe they know it won't slab. The "distracting abrasions" descriptor...
I believe Goodman in his book recommended a minimum of 4 Mpixels and macro capability. That gives you a LOT of wiggle room. Plenty of good...
Something I'm going to look into is Signature Sets at NGC. For various reasons I've got sets of coins that don't fit any of the established NGC...
IMO Based on the obverse I can understand G-4. But you have to stretch a bit (but not too badly) to see the reverse as more than AG-3.
I can't disagree with you. I cracked out a MS-64 (either NGC or PCGS) then later sent it to ANACS for a reslab (I had some freebies). It came back...
Actually I believe there's a reasonable chance that it's a fingerprint, even in that tiny area. The coin is currently in an Intercept Shield...
Here ye be: [IMG]
Okay, here's the requested close-up. I did this as a link rather than posting the actual image because it's so large. It's about 450kb in size....
I'll have to re-image it. This pic is a leftover from the days I'd resize the image and delete the original. So the close-up is gone. If it is a...
IMO the abilities of the different TPGs with respect to the various coining metals or coin issues is strictly a perception, not a fact. IF there...
A raw coin from my collection. It's a 1937-D. I am 90% confident that it's my fingerprint. From the days before I knew better. Fortunately it's...
For my type set I have a 1908-D in NGC AU-58. For your reference it cost me $850 a couple years ago. I think it was the last coin I bought for my...
Interesting. MFD just told me that CAC has had a fundamental change to the definition of what their stickers mean. I never got interested in CAC...
I've got one for my type set, but it's not nearly as good as yours. Gorgeous coin. Excellent photography.
According to the Copyright page the First Printing was August 1970. It was close to two years later that I got back into collecting (military and...
