Fixed it for you.
I spent Thursday through Saturday at CSNS parked at James Sego's very busy table shooting pictures of some "Eclectic Numismatic Treasures," some...
Yes. They left around 3 or so.
The preceding bulk order took 3 months, which I guess is the Powerball equivalent of not only matching zero numbers, but having to pay a penalty...
Yes, 80/79 VAM 5. A Top 100 VAM. Nice find! The Morgan series is full of fun stuff like this. Compared with other series, there's a fairly low...
Because nobody has found a fifth one.
"'Fake' Worth Weight in Gold?" False. If it were worth it's weight in gold it would be worth about $320. Amazing how a newspaper can screw up...
The board would have probably elected to suspend the idea of having an official grading service in some sort of face-saving maneuver.
When was this? They never flaunted it on their slabs. I imagine that the war over Official ANA Grading Service status isn't very high on PCGS's...
Or they didn't feel it necessary or desirable bid on the "Official Grading Service" status.
This. Not only does NGC pay for the title, but part of the Official Grading Service deal is that ANA gets to send a certain number of coins to...
I was going to say to tell the manager you need a tie breaker vote. Teller thinks you're weird, but you don't. Based on your description,...
PCGS looks better to me. For current holders, the plastic is optically better and I don't like the NGC prongs. The only time the NGC holders may...
This is one really exciting find, even if you don't collect gold at all. A big deal was made about the 5th 1913 Liberty nickel being found, but...
Polished, plated, and polished. Numismatically damaged, but still worth face value.
I've never seen dip (by which I mean the thiourea-based toning removers) affect black crust. If you want to experiment, get a toothpick and put a...
The black stuff could be goo, crust, or staining. If goo or crust, it might be able to be removed with solvents and/or careful application of a...
It looks like what you have is die deterioration doubling, also called die fatigue doubling. As the die (not the coin) wears, parts of the...
Not a bad design. A rendering of the "ice caves" would have been cool, but the kayak would have been out of place.
Demand for (and premiums on) die break VAMs are typically for the later die stages where chunks of die are missing. Some people might be...
Separate names with a comma.
