I was in the British Museum last May. The main coin gallery is on the second floor (rm 68). However, many of the regional and epochal galleries...
Should get a refund from the seller, and it's the seller who should pursue getting the coin back or insurance payment. It's the seller who does...
The legacy designation, if implemented, would indicate that the coin was in a PCGS or NGC holder previously and received a sticker. However, it’s...
First a definition for current discussion: “CAC slab” means a coin in a slab of CACG; it does not mean a PCGS or NGC slab with a CAC sticker. If...
I think we'll have to continue in disagreement. If a coin is in a CAC slab, then there is evidence that it has been graded by only one...
[ATTACH] Only 2-3 in mint state. This is the finest.
Some folks want to get all their coins in certain series in PCGS holders so they can compete in the registry. PCGS allows only PCGS-graded coins...
I’ve tried to cross NGC coins a number of times with variable results. Have had better success with world than U.S. coins. Chances of success...
I'll just discuss the options for PCGS. A PCGS-holdered coin can be submitted for either regrading or reconsideration. In the regrading...
The statistics on CAC do not include the percentage of gold-stickered coins submitted to NGC or PCGS that got an increase in grade from the...
Are there any statistics available from PCGS or NGC on the percentage of gold-stickered submissions that receive an upgrade?
Curious about your strategy. Are you going to send them for CAC slabbing or to PCGS or NGC? The gold sticker means they would probably upgrade...
In order for CAC grading to really succeed, they will have to attract truly rare, high-end U.S. coins … four-figure and above based on numismatic...
I’ve never bid on a coin at eBay. The few I’ve bought there were BIN, usually after negotiating with the seller. My problem with being beaten...
Been happening to me a lot lately. I’ll do a final bid a few hours before closing. And my bid is a bit higher than recent sales of the same coin...
Designs for U.S. circulating coins have gone through cycles of beauty and beast. I think late 19th century was the worst. Teddy Roosevelt said...
You're right! Prices for some older British crowns have doubled or tripled in price in the last few years. Examples: 1887 Victoria in MS64,...
Anybody read Mote in God's Eye by Niven and Pournelle? One of the best off-earth-contact-with-aliens scifi novels. The aliens were named Moties...
Sorry to hear about your coin. I had similar problems with my old Lincoln cent collection due to Whitman folders. Had to take to most of them...
I think you're right. I've had something similar happen many times with the PCGS registry. I enter the cert. no. of a coin and get told it's in...
