Thanks Desert, I think I am still reeling from being lumped into the "oldtimers" category. Lol. I am only 41 but I guess I have been collecting...
I couldn't see how, unless someone hacks the TPG records. Even then, they could only get access to your address if you were the original submitter...
Yes, if it was hidden from your inspection. How is a grade hidden from someone who has ample opportunity to look at it? That is my point. If its...
It does unless there is non visible damage. If I am to blacktop your driveway, I get done and ask for you to inspect it. If you sign off that I...

Thanks a lot for those links. Man, that is seriously hard core. I would build a room onto my house if I could acquire something like that! That is...

Yes, Philip the Arab was an emperor in troubled times. That is why nice coins are more commonly found for him than many others, when there is war...
Except for when you put this inside your safe. :)
Danr, I agree completely. Seasnake, what is the rest of the coin like? Is it possible the rest of the coin is XF and they downranked the grade...
