I understand the difficulty. But go ahead and post what ya got, you'd be surprised at what is good enough in some cases.
In a way there already is. Things like length, width, depth - they all vary depending on which coin is affected - the smaller the coin, the...
Rich I also want you, and others, to understand that the only reason I made the comments I did regarding grades is this. As long as a TPG tells a...
Rich I know what you're saying, and yes I agree 100% that the TPGs are way, waaaaaaaay more lenient with things like scratches than they ever used...
Well, if ya ever find it, you'll have enough money to buy all the coins ya want, Albanian or other wise :)
Happy it worked out for ya, but to be honest I was pretty certain it would ;) As for some of your comments. You mentioned waxy, well, it's...
Pay for it ?? Geeez ! I did my part by coming up with the idea. The rest is up to you pal :) And don't gimme that excuse of I left that...

I agree 100%, so would many others. :) But then that's an argument among the so called experts that has gone on for decades. And it's not just...
Yeah, you can, but it's a fine line that must be walked. For instance, if your post was made with no mention at all of them even being for sale -...
Mike I wanna add something else here. You said - So what you're saying is that some copper coins have something on them, and whatever that...
Jeff all I can tell ya is this, I've known graders who worked there, people I trust. Each and every one has repeated to me what I've said. Could...
I'm not disputing that Mike, I agree 100% on that count. There's lots and lots of copper coins with natural blue or a shade of blue toning. The...
