What were the coins that you crossed? I ask because for some series of coins, PCGS is significantly more conservative in grading than NGC and its...

Truthfully, collectors were at an extreme disadvantage because the people setting both buy grades and sale grades were the coin dealers. What do...
To all the guys in this thread who are taking shots at the TPGs and saying that you don’t need them because you can grade coins yourself: your...
I sold my only example long ago, but it was spectacular. [IMG]
That was the whole idea behind "+" grading. If a coin was on the line, the TPG had the option of assigning a premium quality MS64+ grade with a...
Yes Doug, we know that you are a "weakest link" grader. In your view, the overall grade of a coin can only be as good as its weakest attribute....

The angled photos make the coin look like it has friction in the fields, hence the abundance of AU grades being offered. And I admit, AU55 was my...
You seem to have the opinion that CAC green stickers have raised prices for those coins. The point of the CAC was to fight gradeflation by...
Selling rainbow toned coins in a no reserve auction is foolish, especially on E-Bay. I bought the coin for more than $200 and knew I had at least...
