Sorry folks, but this contest is in violation forum rules and is hereby closed. All posts have been deleted except for this one.
I think what's happening is that you are allowing yourself to be deceived by differences in the pics. It's the same coin in both pics. Nor do I...
You about gave me another heart attack Michael ! Thank God it only took me a few seconds to get to your original post and see the real name.
Can you be more specific about what you are asking ?
It's not an error, it's post strike damage. Not sure how it could have happened, it appears to have been deliberate. But the rim in those...
Need some clarification here. Are you saying that you bought this 1915-D Buffalo nickel graded MS67 for X dollars from a coin dealer - and now...
No, I didn't tell him not to ask advice at all. I merely showed him/her a way to find information for him/herself. Luckily, turtledove took my...
You seem to be under some sort of misunderstanding here. NCS does not remove toning, neither will PCGS. They won't even attempt it. And what...

Think of it like this. Not so long ago you could go anywhere in the world and get more if you paid for it with US dollars than you could if you...
The population of 70s increased because of changes to the grading standards used by the TPGs. It had nothing to do with the coins. Starting in...
Chris - you're making incorrect assumptions here. US dollar until 1840 - .8924 silver, 26.96 grams Spanish dollar prior to 1800 - .9170,...
Because they didn't have any choice but to do that. The Spanish dollars were deposited with the mint and the way the law worked everything had to...
I suppose the easiest way to answer 1 of your questions would be for you to look at the Proofs from 1936 to 1972. Finding cameo coins from this...
