I agree Doug. The OP coin I would not mention any deficiencies. This one I would grade gVF, irregular flan if I had to grade it, I like it a lot,...
:) Welcome to the club. I swear I remember every coin I lost more than the ones I won.
When Sheldon came up with his numbering system, each point of grade was supposed to mean it was worth $1 more. This meant a VF30 was worth half as...
Yeah, I would have loved that. I have always wanted to get a Moneta, (goddess of money) coin. Just too perfect, huh? I just never have found one I...
So you can? I am being serious, you can pick out, out of 100 coins, the 50 graded MS67 and the 50 graded MS68? Even if different TPG'ers graded...
:) Not trying to defend myself, more just explaining to anyone reading where my assumptions came from so they can follow. I really do appreciate...
I agree that PET is not unsafe, but any chemicals that it may have contained could be very dangerous. PET can discolor, but that means the plastic...
You are right Chris, and I don't feel singled out, (or not any more than I should be). I knew Doug had referenced how TPG'ers did not follow ANA...

But they were advertised as "sonically sealed" when they first came out, and they promised a red coin would always be red if you slabbed it. Do...
Lol, you are right. It was Omega, I was close.
Cherrypickers guide???
Thanks! I always wondered why so many fake dollars were out there. That explains a lot.
Tough one. I would disagree with Doug slightly in that I do think the price of gold has a lot to do with the prices of these. When PM go up, gold...
Every bit? heck, I would say more! Does that mean I am more childish since I detest slabs since I want to play with my coins? Or does that mean my...
Well the metals industry have always played a disproportionate part of this debate. It was no surprise that nickel was included first in cents...
Did you know that 1936 was effectively the year that killed the first commemorative coin program due to all of the coins.
Never heard of it. My question, relating to the story, would be how would they know that a dot cent was missing? Did they sort out the pennies by...
