True, but ya get what ya pay for too. Their grading is far too loose - they over-grade almost everything. But if all you care about is an...
Not to my knowledge. And it would probably be kind of foolish to do so given the inaccuracy of pictures. The only time I know of that a picture...
They don't grade it at all, the coin is not slabbed. Not even as Genuine.
Suppose Chris, just suppose we talking about a date instead of a mint mark. The rules are this, even the ANA rules - if you cannot clearly and...
I'd say the coin is AU, but it's pretty tough to tell based on those pics.
In probably a dozen or more polls done on this forum, the outcome is always about 50/50. Those two are the best, you really don't want to use any...
In other words it's toned. The definition of and criteria for a coin to be designated as Red is that 95% or more of the coin has to be "original...
Does it ? The angle of the vertical leg is completely, totally wrong. And suppose it's a die chip ? No, I'll stand on what I said. Might be...
Mahogany puts off far less of those gasses than other woods, but it still puts off the gasses. I would ask one other question, have you ever seen...
Not really. The wood will also put off gasses that cause the copper to tone - no longer be red. Yep there are. But how do you know that copper...
It doesn't matter what you do or how much security you have. If somebody wants it bad enough, they are going to take it. That said, yeah you can...
OK, thanks for the answer. Here's why I was asking - it's because MS and Proof coins, in my opinion, should never be put in an album of any kind....
In regard to GSC there's a reason that I have never dealt with them personally. It's because I would not deal with them. The best advice I could...
Hmm - I had to go look it up to make sure. The Great Seal Of The United States has not changed since 1782. However, the Seal Of The President Of...
Everything about it.
Why ? Because in China it is perfectly legal for them to do so. And why don't we ? Because in the US it is not legal for us to do so. We can't...
What I see is an unidentifiable mark. Yeah there is something there, but we have no way of knowing, for sure, if it is a mint mark. Thus I suspect...
adiorio - you might want to take a look at post #31 again. Mark is a coin dealer and has been for many years. He was also a professional grader...
Something important to remember JCB - 95% of all grading is done with the naked eye, or with your glasses on if you have old guy eyes like me. And...
There was none taken ;)
