The thing is this. From the instant that a coin is struck it begins to receive bag marks, rub marks, hairlines, contact marks, and eventually...
That's not exactly correct. Any member may post links to dealers that they like, or even to current auctions on ebay or other auction sites....
But that's my point Lance, the TPGs don't care if it was an accidental scratch or not. They have no way of even knowing if it was accidental or...
Based on the obv I'd grade it at $180 ;)
And you purchased that in '65 and it was part of an SMS set huh ? Weird ! The only thing that I can figure is that the planchet was an annomaly...
In my opinion neither one of those coins should have been graded. And I completely disagree about the accidental issue. It doesn't matter how a...
What you have to understand is that in numismatics the term junk is not a derogatory term. It is just a term used to describe coins that have...
Even if it is genuine, and I have my doubts of that, it has definitley been harshly cleaned. I'd say it has XF45 details. Nobody should ever...

The argument of what defines a variety and what defines an error has been going on since the first time the words were used in conjuction with...

For the sake of education try this - buy yourself a single modern Proof, a quarter say. Then put it in your pocket with other change and carry it...
Grade bump for rarity using the excuse of a weak strike to explain it. Yeah, the coin was weakly struck. But the coin also has enough wear to...
Yes, they do vary that much. Based on the price your quoting I can assume that the coins would grade 63. But if they don't, then they are not...
You say you sent these coins off, can I assume you sent them to a person who bought them ? If so, then what that person was paying you for the...
As a general rule people tend to think that others think like they do. But in truth, they don't. I agree, they should dislose, but again, as a...
If nothing else it should make any signs of harsh cleaning plainly evident. And just for giggles, folks might want to note that the slab does...
I 've seen '43s at coin shows but certainly never owned one. Never seen a '44 in person though and doubt I ever will. As for pictures, they're...
