That question is probably worthy of another thread, but I'll answer here anyways: Original, problem free, attractive, somewhat scarce coins....
I have long thought this was a good idea. It would also be great to allow ANACS (and maybe a couple other Second Tier graders) as well - basically...
The coin is probably worth a decent premium. After all, there are only 5 68DPLs graded *for the entire series* (although 3 of them are 1880S)...
And there are significant advantages to not being fanatically devoted to one ecosystem, like many PCGS die-hards are. For example, you can choose...
Have you seen it in hand? Because those pictures are terrible.
Damn Larry, you're giving my brain a workout today - and showing some fantastic coins! This one is by far my favorite of the bunch. Great strike,...
Dang. This one is tough. I really like the reverse, but the obverse looks hazy/cloudy to me (at least, in those pics). I think its a proof, but...
There is so much that could be hiding in those pictures (as good as they are). Proofs are impossible to grade from pics. I really like that coin,...
I agree that prices seem to be coming down. In my opinion (as a buyer and a collector) that is a good thing. They've been pretty hot for a few...
Why on earth would you pay $600 more for a different piece of plastic? I really don't understand, but I guess if that's what you want to do, then...
It really made me mad when NGC pulled the same bull*** by excluding PCGS coins from the foreign registry sets. Now, don't get me wrong - I hate...
Illini - I only get to one major show a year (the winter FUN show). Lot viewing there is definitely one of the highlights of my trip!
Nope. I wrote exactly what I meant. Baking soda does not leave hairlines- it leaves a strangely smooth and unnaturally reflective surface. The...
That looks like a very nice AU-58. I might even give it a plus. This is the type of coin that I wouldn't be surprised to see in a 62 slab.
by Jason Poe Last week, we discussed original surfaces and how they should appear (in the thread here:...
Dude still has the coolest name. Straight out of a James Bond movie.
Which one?
Yeah, the NGC data goes back about 10 years. I'm not aware of anything similar for foreign coins. I've tried to find some, because I also...
I'm not a huge fan of the smudge on the cheek, but the rest of it looks very attractive. I also don't see anything which would keep this from a...
I'm watching the Morgans now.... and they seem really weak.
