Because you should never try to grade a coin using a photograph of a single coin in any given grade for a comparison.
I think NGC is more strict on most gold coins, not all of them, but most. NGC is tougher with all of the special designations than PCGS is. And I...
Yeah I know, but I gotta try. Besides, it gives me something to do :)
I've probably said it a thousand times Dave - individual hard plastic holders. All other methods of coin storage have at least one problem that...
