I feel like arguing with some people is a waste of time. You will never convince Doug, so don't try. We can only hope to present an opposing...
I own 3 pieces of gold. None of them are circulated.
I've never had acetone adversely affect copper, and I've used it many times.
Wow. Ouch. That's a little low, even on the British scale (which is similar to the US scale, but different).
Good guesses, everyone. Much closer than last time! NGC graded the first one 65, and the second one is 66.
eddio, that one is also Machine Doubling.
No. As a general rule, things that need a microscope are only valuable to VAM collectors. And they are especially not worth a premium when it is...
No, the lack of luster is showing you it has honest wear. The somewhat thick toning also tends to impede the appearance of the luster. Has it been...
I got my invitation to the NGC luncheon last week, and RSVP'd. If you still haven't gotten your invitation, I'd talk to Dena.

Or I heard about a new one, "The Art and Science of Grading Coins." ;)
My collection is currently large enough that they would all die from alcohol poisoning. Either I don't have enough friends to share the booze,...

Depends on who's selling, and who's buying.
What scale are you using? R-9 means unique, or unknown (with 1 or less known examples). A coin with 24 examples known would be an R-6 coin (with...
I see absolutely nothing wrong with that coin. I also think it is accurately graded at 45 (due, mostly, to the absence of luster). That is the...
I suppose this is largely dependent on how you define "success" in this hobby, 19Lyds. And that is, yet again, another topic for another thread.
Haha, come on, give me a couple of numbers. I promise I won't make fun of you ;)
That 64D is by far my favorite - and one of the best I've ever seen.
The idea of collector/investor is really a topic for another thread. But I dislike the idea that a collector will blindly bid for whatever coin he...
