Coin 1: I called it a 66, but I'm ok with a 65. If the luster is as weak as both sets of images indicate, 65 is tops. Coin 2: Called it a 66,...
DefDam CircCam There seems to be a bit of slang that pops up on any board. I wonder how many other slang terms we use that aren't known outside...
Ah, that's my ranting long-way-round of saying this coin has been wedged and hammered, definitely post mint damage. You'll find this sort on etsy...
Whenever I encounter a piece like this, my first response is: explain to me what error you think might have caused this? If you can come up with...
Yeah, I honestly couldn't care less about this so-called "error." It's a bunch of nonsense, a manufactured piece of tripe. I'd give you $20 for...
Its kinda like we've been chatting, discussing, arguing, disagreeing, and admiring each others coins for over 10 years.... Weird ;)
Oh man, that sucks - especially since that appears to be an exceptional coin.
Not exactly. For a long time, PCGS had a contract to license the PCGS brand to another company, which graded notes under the license. PCGS chose...
1: 66 no-FS. Moderate eye appeal. Well struck, but marks across the steps preclude the designation. Luster is impeded by toning. This one doesn't...
It doesn't really matter what I collect. I'll choose the right grading company for the material I collect. In any case I want them to be...
So, I think it started out with somebody bought pcgs and we have no idea what that means for them. We don't know if that means they'll be better...
I don't pay them to make mistakes. I pay them to be consistent and accurate. These are the experts. If they are not consistent and accurate......
1. Is there any particular reason you're looking for one? Besides numismatic history? 2. I'll bet any worth cracking have long since been hit by...
Not this year. It was on-again off-again, nobody knew, and nobody knew what the rules were. When I finally heard it was on, I asked my workplace...
Oh, Insider, sometimes I respect you so much and sometimes I see why some people consider you a troll.
Buddy, you just contradicted yourself in 3 sentences. Either they're good at variety attribution, or you can cherrypick them well. You can't have...
ANACS has been sold at least 3 times since I've been active (mid-90's), but it was sold at least 2 or 3 times before I became an active collector.
At this point, ANACS can't tell it's bunghole from an open-mining pit. There will need to be serious and total overhauls of ANACS for it to ever...
I'll hit report when it's necessary. I'd rather steer the discussion back to where it should be, if I can, rather than tattle on people.
The bigger question... does anyone know who "Nat Turner" is or what their ideals are? Who they are? What they are or who they are as a collector?...
Separate names with a comma.
