All of the services have their bad days. It's just with some of them, every day is a bad day except for the worse days. I have an MMNS 3CS graded...
Nobody knows who PCI is anymore. Again a case where the very oldest slabs (green border, 3 codes on the back) were more strictly graded. Then...
I think it's stupid. The label should be irrelevant to the value of the coin. There's also a lot of malarkey floating here... NGC's slabs are...

I'm pretty sure that's just PSD (Post Strike Damage). If it were a gouge in the die, then it would be sticking up from the eagle's breast...
Like you never saw a "No Trespassing" sign and blew through it to see what was so special on the other side????
Plus proofs are made more carefully, so the "perfect" PF70 is much less rare than the almost perfect uncirculated MS69. NGC graded 558 MS69s and...
I have seen a coin - NOT the one the mint seized - which, IF it is genuine (and I have no opinion other than that the reported weight was correct...
We know not of the Turing of which you speak. Working... Working... Oh... If being able to mimic inane conversation sufficiently to fool other...
Their selection is pretty broad if you just want a random date gold coin of a particular grade for a type set. Much broader than the average store...
Be quiet. Your robot overlords do not like it when you discuss this. Offenders can be - without warning - simply remov
Yes. In fact, because of the find, several previously incredibly scarce coins are now the most commonly available of the series......
Shipwreck coins are a neat piece of history. For example, the loss of the 1715 treasure fleet impacted Spain's ability to pay it's massive debts...
That's why coins are not a liquid investment. You may not be able to sell, or not at the price you want.
No, there is no evidence regarding Martha's silver. In fact the article that I can't find explicitly shows George's deposit was "Spanish Dollars".
I wish I could find the blasted article on the 1st US Silver coins. There was an analysis done and published a couple years back showing that...
It runs both ways - for some things, special labels, mint designations based on the box strap, etc. they have to send the sealed boxes to the TPG....
I know two dealers who had a nice run cherrypicking all of the sets and rolls on the local show circuit. They would buy the sets with at least a...
More than just PCGS - Rick did another paper a couple months back analyzing one of the keydates (1877 IIRC) for grade inflation based on when the...
If you were to limit it to, say 1950 and later, it's actually a very doable project. 1c: LWC, LMC, 4 Lincoln reverses, Union Shield 5c:...
