Maybe. But when you consider that your ebay fees are going to be 15%, and a dealer is going to offer you say 20% less than retail - I repeat, is...
In that condition it's roughly worth the silver value.
A cheap lesson, count your blessings. In the future do not buy slabbed coins unless they are NGC or PCGS (And even then, you would be well served...
Good point. I think the coin is undoubtably AU (as my vote indicates) but I suspect they said 64 on the slab.
I do not disagree. But now imagine, you have a collection comprised of hundreds or even thousands of coins and you need the money. Imagine just...
No, I do not think that the tier you use has any impact at all on the grade assigned. But there are things that do impact or bump the grade. Those...
I agree.
There are some reports in the coin mags that it is already happening.
You can see it anywhere, at coin shows, dealer shops, web sites, flea markets, swap meets, pawn shops - anywhere ! The thing you have to realize...
I think we've pretty well exhausted all that needs to be said about what you would or wouldn't do and the various laws in various states/cities....
Race there are many, many examples like that. Too many for me to even remember. But the story of how grading standards have changed over the years...
Awwww now Jim - you ? Nahhhhhh - never happen :rolleyes:
The French called them essais. It was made for the same basic reason that any pattern is ever made - as ideas for a new coin design. I used to...
Nope. But I used to spend a lot of time studying, researching, and using common sense. Couple that with experience and it's amazing what you can...
Let's try this then. I bailed out of stocks in early 2000. I think I'd be bailing out of precious metals pretty dang soon ;)
They already have. TPG after all stands for Third Party Grader. So CAC and now SPG are the fourth party.
Based on what I have seen of that slabber the coin is likely worth $25- $30.
As stated, the answer to all your questions are - it depends. As a rule of thumb harsh cleaning can reduce a coin's value anywhere from 20% to...
Seems to me I've seen that coin before. Hopefully I have expressed the same opionion that I did then.
Interesting, I'm quite anxious to see what they think of the coins submitted to them.
