Uhhhhhh - when I put my cursor on the pics and click, the images more than fill the screen. But when I do that the pics are blurry and out of...
Coins are graded with the naked eye. The only time any magnification is used when grading is with coins that grade 69 or 70. And even then nothing...
But do you have any that bad ? And no, I'm not trying to be a wise guy. You see, to many a problem free VF is much preferable to a problem unc...
Interesting read, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I have spent much time myself studying the issue as best I can in order to better understand the...
Eddie - if collectors accepting it is what you consider proof then all you need to do is read this forum. There are literally countless numbers...
Eddie - at that link you can't see this ? [IMG] That's the table of contents for the book. What it tells you is how to use lacquer, paraffin,...
And there's a reason for that. If you took those same coins from the ICG 70 slab and had NGC or PCGS grade them they would almost always come back...
This should give you an idea of what I'm talking about Eddie. A book from 1976. We only get to see an excerpt, but I think it's sufficient to get...
Did you somehow miss what Peter said ?
What's the matter Dave, you give up ? Or did you decide that maybe I am right after all ?
He's 100% correct Eddie. In the '50s, '60s, '70s, even the '80s - and for literally centuries before that - harshly cleaning your coins by...
Hmmm, maybe you better read again. There have been actual CT t-shirts made and sent to those who ordered them. All 11 of them :rolleyes:
Nothing was lost or corrupted, all of the member albums are still there right where there they always were -...
Oh I don't know about that. I say that because I did it myself years ago, nor was I the first to do it. And it was a successful campaign, that was...
No you cannot quantify the unknowns, I agree on that. But you can easily analyze the market because the market is based on what is known - not...
I wasn't implying that you did think that. My comment was to let others know where the numbers come from.
It kind of sounds like you don't understand. The coin is not a problem coin because it had the varnish removed. Removing the varnish didn't hurt...
Do you understand where I get that number range ? I didn't just make it up. I get it from studying realized auction prices for problem coins.
By manipulation of metal can I assume you mean patches of hairlines or scratches ? If so I would say that it is not uncommon for pictures not to...
Well, NGC has just announced that they have now graded 30 million coins. 10 million of those in the last 4 years alone. And the vast majority of...
