The problem was the items themselves - as you said, nobody wants them. The market is very, very thin for items like Swiss Rappen and clad half...
Yup.
We've been seeing it for years, parts of it anyway. But perhaps not everybody is aware of it. The mint has been coating the small dollar coins for...
Yeah, but there are no hard and fast rules Thad. There are examples of coins that are every bit as blue as any ever treated with MS70, and those...
It's pretty simple - I see wear on the high points of both the coins.
It depends on the specific set you are talking about. Some sell for about the same price with or without original packaging while others will sell...
True story, years ago they slabbed them everyday. Today they only slab some of them. It's the same problem that it has always been - there is no...
Not that many years ago NGC came out with a new and improved slab that they advertised as being airtight. Of course it cost extra for these slabs....
Dunno, maybe. But to my knowledge nobody has ever made a crimping head that will fit Morgan dollar rolls.
There were definitely rolls of Morgans available Jello, I used to buy them. And there are rolls of Morgans available even today. But never once...
Chris - my point is this. Yes, TPG slabs restrict the ability of the ambient air to get to the coins better than the mint's plastic Proof Set...
Except for that the fact that there's never been a shotgun roll of Morgan dollars.
OK, I'd agree - if you stored your coins out in the open like on your coffee table. But if you use proper storage methods there is little...
StandingPride - just buy one slabbed by NGC or PCGS. There is little price difference from VF to AU for these.
While I understand what you are trying to ask, it is a pointless question in most cases because it can never be answered. There are however some...
I suppose it depends on what you are calling "auction houses". To me companies like Heritage, Teletrade, Stacks, Goldberg, Steinberg, Bowers and...
Any and all coins must be graded based on the worst side. That is the rule that all of the TPGs use and the ANA uses the same rule.
Both of those coins are low to mid AU at best.
There have been literally hundreds of threads written on the subject of proper storage. But the rules are pretty simple. First of all the coins...
Personally I'd say AU details, damaged. There looks to be light wear in a few places and the coin has several scratches by the LUR.
