I seriously doubt it ! There's 2 of them, well more than 2 but only 2 post. TheCaveTroll and swhuck
The Grey Sheet does not use auction prices, they use dealer prices. Nor do any of the other price guides. Yes, PCGS now has a web site where you...
The suit got thrown out of court.
You could be right, the dollar figure might be larger for altered coins that they slabbed. But there's been plenty for coins that were over-graded...
I don't disagree with anything you said, except for one thing. Most of the fakes coming out of China are struck with dies, they aren't cast fakes.
So you don't care if they grade 'em 3 grades too high huh Mike ? As long as they grade all of them 3 grades too high.

Because they only used that slab for about 6 months.
According to Numismedia - The pricing information we report comes from all over the numismatic market including many reliable dealers known...
#16 I think, from late '04 to early '05.
Where else would you like them to put the label ? You can't cover the coin, and you can't cover the grade. Over the hologram is about the only...
Separate names with a comma.
