People seem to get hung up on the idea that only rare or very valuable coins are counterfeited. Nothing could be further from the truth. The most...
The point is guys they don't just ask to see your inventory. They will only do that if they have some reason to suspect that you have been falsely...

Chris you cannot compare the grading of ancients to the grading of any other coin. It can't be done. Ancients are an entirely different animal...
To begin with, that's not done - ever. There is no reason to do it. The only time tax authorities get involved is after a sale because there is no...
It also makes a difference as to what the total value of the coins being consigned is. Heritage will only accept lots worth $5000 and up, most...
That's kind of a silly point if you ask me, especially since the adjectival system is a US grading system as well.

Nothing wrong with taking it to a dealer, but you need to take it to the RIGHT dealer.
Well when someone ask the question of who was the first TPG, it depends on what you mean. For example, do they have to have slabbed the coins ? Or...
Just another guy charging you money to tell you the basics of how to make money. And usually they are the ones making the money.

I have read reports where coins took 3 1/2 months before they got back to their owners. That's about the longest I've ever heard of. 2 months is...
We've talked about it a bunch of times. And yes, ANACS was in business before PCGS. And yes they did what they called Photo Certificates where...
pureth - the coin in link you are talking about is fake, a counterfeit. Do you understand that ? Your coin is also a fake, but it is not the...
Yeah I know what the numbers say, I used to write a financial newsletter back in the '90s. And you're right, I sure don't know what's gonna...
Looks like it has blob of solder on the rev., probably from an old jewelry setting. That is bound to kill most of the value if I am right about...
I lived in Salt Lake for 28 years. There is no good place to go to get a collection appraised, none. I could tell you stories that would scare you...
Nah, two different coins. But both fakes.
That's what I expected you to say. Funny though, gVF pretty much equals VF25 doesn't it ? European grading parlance - vs - US grading parlance...
