I'm an idiot...never thought about that....thanks !!:D
No coin back, no refund.
Are there any PCGS or NGC slabs that some of you would believe to be associated with 'looser' grading standards for particular coins or entire...
Great info, JPC, thanks !:cigar: Wonder why both gave info on how to grade an MS-65 and referenced MS-67 instead of MS-66 instead......... I...
Guys, I posted most of my inventory on Page 2 of this thread.
Good catch, Lehigh...the coin I referenced apparently IS a proof. I wonder if that PCGS statement applies to the Wells Fargo Hoard ?...
Does the ANA Book apply these general rules to most of the major U.S. coins, i.e., Saints and Morgans ??? That might really help me alot more...
That isn't true, lots of Saints show no wear, maybe some rubbing or friction from a bag or just handling. There's an MS-69 1907 EHR Saint for...
It's scary how if they weren't labeled I would have a hard time differentiating the MS-64, the MS-66, and the MS-67. :yack:

I'm not sure what the numbers on, maybe someone can recommend a good book or something online ? I know my immigrant ancestors handed theirs in....
It's clearly not. The problem is that gold is highly volatile and to compare any data from the pre- or post-floating exchange rate era (1971)...
I don't know about the 'real money' part, but I essentially agree with your well-written post.
Can we confirm or refute my assertion that silver coin or rounds or whatever in recent weeks was under 10% premium to bullion ? Just want to make...
Is it possible that when the ANA standards were devised....they didn't want to come up with loopholes, like those old Venn Diagrams which...
That's an excellent point, one on which I go back-and-forth on. In theory...in theory...bag marks are going to do less damage than circulation...
I think that's the thing that is part of subjective grading and not part of the official ANA grading method (at least I assume it's not): should a...
My Big Picture, since we got distracted: Gold is a speculation (though you can hold it if you like for a small % of your portfolio or as a hedge...
