We can lead you to knowledge, but we can't make you think. If you aren't willing to accept correct answers to your questions, you're not much of...
A few years back I bought an old-holder NGC PL Morgan for what seemed a bargain price. When I went to flip it at a show, I learned that the...
Hey, wasn't that the point of TPGs? To facilitate sight-unseen dealing?
I'm guessing $350 is about one-third of retail for the pair. He can argue all he wants about the cleaned $1 coin, but if he's offering that little...
New students of coins can ask all those questions, but they really should listen to the answers they receive.
Watching this way is almost as much fun as searching myself! But I'll leave the guessing (and prizes) to others. I would've guessed 0 silver...
What do you have in mind when you say "clean"? You can often remove debris or foreign material from a coin without damaging it. That's acceptable...
It's a ruined coin. What do you want to have happen to it? If you want the zinc parts (gray parts) shiny, you're probably out of luck. You can...

I don't know if he's a philatelist, but he strikes me as the type who wouldn't turn up his nose at the opportunity to buy discount postage. (Old...
Zincoln, parking lot damage. Acetone might make the damage a bit more glittery. Peroxide will foam up and possibly loosen more debris. Hydrogen...

This might be a good time to stop digging...
Thinking this came in under $90 with shipping, can't get to my eBay records at the moment: [IMG] [IMG] I decided I couldn't afford to keep...
I'm sorry too, I didn't mean to shoot you down, I was just trying to narrow it for context. What was the timepoint you had in mind with your...
Engineering is always, always about optimizing among safety, cost, and time. As @CamaroDMD said, the longer they went without a failure, the less...
The "no return policy" carries no weight if the item isn't as described. If it's not a legit 1926-S XF45 in a legit NGC slab saying so, it's...
For those keeping score at home, that was Dec 18 2018, right?
Well, that would be entertaining, but it doesn't match the slab: NGC Cert # 1895355-001 NGC Description 1936 5C NGC Grade NOT GENUINE I hauled...
Oddly enough, I think both my first proof coin and, later, my first proof set were 1971-S. I was certainly pleased with them at the time.
