One possible solution to the grader "who just tries to throw off the grade" is to toss out the top and bottom grades and let the rest generate the...
1901-s = $3,000 1902-s = $2,600 1905-s = $2,900 Weird. I capitalize the "S", and when I post the message the all go lower case!!!???
One thing for sure. I'm getting my knowledge updated. But, in part, that's what this place is all about. Thanks, people.
Well, I got the idea correct (the plastic softener.) Just got the compound wrong.
Here's my understanding. PVC damages coins significantly. Verdigris is damage that has already occurred. As such, both lower the value of a coin....
Images are too blurry to make a reasonably accurate effort. Certainly XF, but higher??? And as to green "stuff", if it's PVC then you have a...
The last Quarterly III was dated March 14, 2008. I believe we are due for the newest version in June based on what I see. Quarterly I - April...
Yeh, non-PVC flips are a bit brittle. That's why PVC was used. It's a plastics softener. But the non-PVC flips will be fine as long as they...
IMO the coin doesn't have enough value to merit slabbing. The Greysheet has a Good-4 worth $42. Poor-1 is 3 grades below that.
Nothing wrong with doing that. Same thing as winning on eBay, then walking into the dealer's store and buying there too. That's outside of eBay's...
I forgot to say I've got only a monthly subscription. That gives me all the pertinent information without the weekly stuff which generally is the...
Because my purchases are expensive enough (by my standards) to merit knowing what the wholesale (Greysheet) prices are. I already went braindead...
I can't tell anything from that image, so here's my two. Use them to do your comparison [IMG] [IMG]
I'm thinking XF. Only the clasp looks a bit sub-XF, but that could be because of the direction of the lighting. The two inserts are great. Takes...
Yeh, that's what happened to me. Almost had the copper, nickel and silver coins completed before I even started thinking about gold. And, no, a...
Agreed. But for a VF, the "WE" is rather good. The ANA Guide says the "WE" should look like that, but the TPGs seen to let that part slide a bit...
When I started my typeset I wanted coins that I could show people and give them a good idea of what they looked like way back when. Of course I...
Nope. I'm saying it's expensive to subscribe to. Especially since the average collector won't look at more than 10-20% of it.
Send it in to a TPG and get it authenticated. For me, that's the only way to deal with higher priced coins. And if you suspect cleaning, send it...
Initial impression: - "no" to proof - "yes" to cleaned - "?" to counterfeit
Separate names with a comma.
