Yeah, it's because the "shine" wore off. What I mean by that is that the hype has finally died and the market for these sets has done what it has...
I agree.
You'd have been far better off saying that to begin with instead saying what you said. I don't think there's a single person who's read this who...
Maybe, but I would disagree Thad. PVC is only slimy on the beginning stages. In later stages it dries out and turns flakey. In even later stages...
OK - but you are buying the set with the full intention of selling it - right ? And the only reason you would even buy it sealed to begin with is...
While I can't say this is definitive, I have an idea of what might be going on. Remember how much flack the TPGs got for body-bagging coins,...
Reaching ? The point is this - why would anybody buy coins they cannot see, let alone pay extra for them to boot ? If anyone doesn't understand...
What makes you think this ? I mean I understand about the info being passed on to the graders, but if the substances were acceptable why...
You're right, I screwed up on that number :o What I should have said was 45 million, PCGS claims over 20 million and NGC now claims 25 million,...
I have no idea of the value. But please do not post it in other sections of the fourm. 1 post is enough. Somebody will be along who can probably...

When I used the word ignorant it was to indicate your lack of knowledge, not your manners. As far as backing it up - all you had to do was...
This is probably as good as I can do to help you understand the difference. Read this - http://www.cointalk.com/t58435/
Again I would agree with Reynolds' grade of 50. The coin has even and obvious wear on virtually all the high points of both the obv and rev as...
It's really a question that remains to be answered for coins submitted under any but the Secure Plus tier. But since PCGS mentions Blue Ribbon as...
To be honest I would be leary of bidding on that coin. The wear pattern is very unusual and there is not enough detail to say if the coin is a...
No, not if it was harshly cleaned. But shiny does not equal luster. Shiny can easily be achieved by polishing a coin that has zero luster. That...
