I'm sure the coin doesn't look that blurry - and if it does, it is absolutely fake. Even if its only slightly "blurry" in hand, if the devices...
NGC and PCGS have graded nearly 13,000 1916D Mercury dimes. You have to figure at least that many more are in other slabs or ungraded. They have...
No idea, but you sure are right that someone polished the heck outta that piece. It is nowhere near PO-01 yet (I'd grade it G-06 details now), but...
The first and fourth pictures show very minor die breaks. These are incredibly common, and not worth any premium. I'm not sure what you think...
Approach the coin with critical eyes. Forget what you think you are seeing. Use plenty of light and a good magnifier. Now, very closely compare...
Die rust is quite common and perfectly normal. No reason to be alarmed by that. However, what you are seeing here is a speckled/mottled toning...
The plausible reason is that they made a mistake. How they address and correct that mistake will say as much about them as the fact that they made...
No, that is just a well circulated and possibly slightly damaged coin.
I am really surprised this didn't get a PL, unless the fields in hand look quite a bit different than the pictures. That should definitely be a PL!
I thought they just automatically posted the most recent one with a TrueView? Does it being on the page mean something significant? Looks like an...
I'm not sure I've seen a contemporary counterfeit Walker. That's really cool. So what do you suppose it's made out of? Pewter? Lead?
Looks like an attractive, original EF-40 to me. I would have no problem owning that coin - I think it is very attractive.
We can't tell anything with those blurry pictures.
I strongly disagree. The whole idea of "sight unseen" grading is that you should be able to confidently buy a coin without even seeing it, it...
The people who were involved in making these dies are probably still alive (at least some of them). It will be really cool to hear what they have...
How do you define "greatest"? Oldest? Lowest population certified? Lowest mintage? Highest grade? Most Valuable? My favorite? The one I'd like to...

Of course, I'm perfectly well aware. However, to the average collector, the marketing has been well-placed to make them think that the TPGs and...
Also, the post you reference showed a 1793 Wreath Cent and an 1082/1 Half Eagle. These are both very expensive coins - if you can't grade for...
It is a common misconception that CAC is an altruistic company out to protect the collector. This has been repeated over and over, and promulgated...
