This coin is graded RD, so you don't need to guess the color. How good is CoinTalk compared to the TPGs? Let's find out! Over the next several...
Ok, with 32 guesses, CT averaged 65.4. PCGS and CAC gave this a 65, so good job! This one is sorta tricky. The strike is good, and the luster...
With 35 guesses, the CT average is 64.86. Not bad, but a little low - PCGS and CAC gave this a 65. There is a surprisingly tight spread on the...
Several of QDB's columns are devoted to this idea. He quotes a speech from the ANA convention of (1917? I think) where this exact same argument is...
You asked us to guess the grade... I explained why I couldn't. Sorry. Didn't mean to offend.
Pics are inadequate for accurate grading. It appears to be a W quarter....
It's because they did something so, so bad for their customers. And now this "good" thing is just reversing their bad thing, without any...
A strike like this isn't usually limiting to 65. You'd need a better strike to get to 66, but this coin isn't anywhere near that. The mark in...
That one is probably overgraded at 61. Yours might make 61, possibly. There are a ton of marks all over your coin, but there don't appear to be...
That coin is somewhere in the 62/63 range, and I'd probably guess 63 if you made me pic one (better pics might narrow it down a bit better). It...
On those bright shiny moderns, there was no appreciable patina or surface toning. Hence the electrolysis had nothing to remove - and thus the...
I have an Excel Spreadsheet that I've been building for the last 23 years. I'm pretty fond of it by now.
I got Scott Traver's Coin Collector's Survival Manual, and Ron Guth's Coin Collecting for Dummies together for Christmas when I was 10. I don't...
I think the percentage of bid, or the grey sheet value, that you could expect to get would vary widely based on the type of material you have....
Honestly, these are coins that I would not take to a dealer. I would consign them to a Heritage auction. You'll make more. Heritage will take...
I certainly wouldn't call anyone evil for cutting up a modern clad quarter. They were probably testing out a new set of cutters. You'll see many...
I wouldn't think it would go too much higher than it already is ($1276 currently). I think that coin is generally unattractive - very dark...
I think it is completely unreasonable to judge that coin based on those pictures, and even more unreasonable to make a sweeping judgement about...
You can find nice coins in ICG and ANACS holders, if you look hard enough. The problem is, they are far less liquid than NGC. So, any nice coin...
How good is CoinTalk compared to the TPGs? Let's find out! Over the next several months, I'll be posting a continuous stream of Guess the Grade...
