Eh, maybe I am. I'm not in the mood for mollycoddling tonight. It's what happens when you get a couple bottles of good wine in me ;) But, I stand...
Everyone is harping on the rim "discoloration". That is toning. It speaks to the originality of the coin. I see absolutely nothing wrong with it,...
Yes, you have to be a member. For NGC, it is $45 (I think?) to join. The service tiers and fees can be found here:...
Sounds like a designation the shucksters called "MAC" would use.
Yeesh, that first page is a $100k alone, maybe more. There's a reason the 7070 starts when it does - it is affordable for most collectors.
Grease filled die. Extremely common.
.... Your new pics are no better than your old pics, and may actually be worse.... Your last 2 posts show 2 completely different coins... Try...
Maybe not, but I am ;) A bottle of Pouilly-Fume and a bottle of Beaujolais-Morgon will do that to you :)
ASE's probably have the highest premium over spot of any government issued bullion in the world. It just isn't worth it, unless you *really* want...
Not with those photos, I can't. It is somewhere between AU-55 and MS-67. Not trying to be mean, hope I don't come off that way. There are many...
You want my honest, unadulterated opinion? I think he's a counterfeiter. I think the things he makes are detestable abominations. I think he...

Assuming it is genuine, and the real deal, it is probably worth submitting. A missing clad layer can be worth a decent premium, but is worth...
The $18 is the UNC one. The $40 one is probably the proof. Two different things. And if Spot is at $14, I'd pay just slightly above $14 for an...
Only you can decide if you want to keep it or sell it. Do you like it? Is it part of your set? Do you want to collect these? Does it have...
1. Caps lock is that key just to the left of "A." Try it. 2. No, lathe lines don't make a coin more valuable. They are fairly common, and can be...
This used to be true. However, they started doing it within the last couple of years. You could also check their website, where they list all of...
Really hope these clunkers don't start falling from heaven. I'd need a stainless steel umbrella and a helmet.
These pictures are good. A few comments: 1.) While the lens will focus up close, you actually want to pull back. With the lens further back,...
I'd call it a high end 64, and it may get a 65 on a good day. It isn't worth sending in (and it doesn't appear to be PL).
Separate names with a comma.
