Goldfinger I don't know how you use the word "weight" in this context, but if the index is weighted that means that 1 particular item counts more,...
Yeah it does sometimes but not always - you can also get false positives. Ya see, it has to do with the copper. What color does copper turn when...

No, not necessarily, but it might. The coin getting a light scratch or a hairline or two from being in the mylar flip is not an absolute - meaning...
Kelly I know this isn't what you are asking about, how one light can show doubling and another not show it, but perhaps if you see this it will...
No, not at all. Hairlines can occur in more ways than you can count. And while hairlines detract from the grade, unless they are extremely...

Ignore them is precisely what you need to do ! That's because the PCGS price guide is and always has been completely worthless ! And so is any...
LOL ! Who knows, one of these days you may actually wake up :)
Based on the comments in the thread there are at least a couple basic misconceptions. First, both silver and gold coins can and do get verdigris...
Wrong - marks do not equate to wear, never have. A coin can look like it came in 8th in an ax fight (covered with marks) and still be MS. Wear is...
No, they do not.
Apparently you don't understand how the index works - there are no weights. The index, the part that we see move up and down, is a single dollar...
I guess it depends on how ones reads your comment, but if you are saying you subtract 20% from your bids, that easily explains why you're not...
I won't dispute what you're saying. But I judge overall popularity based on all the comments about them on forums, the numismatic press, the...
I would start off by suggesting that you should ignore realized prices on ebay, and only use realized auction prices from major auction houses as...
