Does that not in and of itself tell us all something ? You're a lover of toned coins and because you're lover of toned coins you are willing to...
Enough already ! Either report back or don't, I really don't care at this point. But any more of this senseless squabbling like 6 year olds and...
On this point he is 100% correct - they are very inconsistent. PCGS more so than any other. Scratches are not wear in any way, shape or form....
Thad they really don't have much choice but to believe you because both you and your buyer tell the same story. Where people get into trouble...
It is worth noting that the charts I used for bullion do not refer to bullion coins. They refer to plain old gold bullion - as in bars.
Do you understand what each of those graphs represents ? The one on bullion should be obvious - it's the spot price of gold, in dollars, at...
A fair question. And so far the answers are about what you would expect them to be. But I always have to wonder what people are basing their...
The term railroad rim is not new, it's been around for decades. But it is a slang term. The proper term is partial collar.

It's pretty rare for me to see a coin that I think is clean enough to grade higher but yet at the same time be one that should not be graded...
It's called pliofilm.
My thoughts - schedule a face to face appointment with the judge and go sit down and talk to the man.
Low AU and over-dipped I'd say. Over-dipped because there does not appear to be 1 trace of luster on the coin. And low AU because all the high...
From what I have personally seen of these appraisers, albeit limited, most of them don't know squat about coins. The few appraisals I have seen...
No, and while I can't swear to it I'd bet the Chinese get them one of two ways. 1 - they create transfer dies from genuine coins. 2 - they carve...
In modern days, yes. But in the days of Morgans, not so Frank. I almost bought a Morgan obverse die (think it was 1880-P if memory serves) from...
Send the coin in to NGC or PCGS. If it's real, you'll get that gold mine. And if it's not .......... then those who suspect it is not, including...
