You misinterpret my comments Vess. It's not that I think they are the end all resource for researching pricing - it's merely that they are the...
Since ANACS changed hands it's not possible to have anyone but the new ANACS grade your coins, and I was did say people are not advised to use...
Not generally, all the time. Food products are not allowed to have PVC in them.
As I've said before, no magic is necessary to get decent scans of coins that show both luster and color. All ya need is one simple trick of the...
I agree. But ya work with ya got ;)
Not exactly. People are advised not to use ANACS because ANACS consistently over-grades coins. In other words an ANACS 65 will be an NGC or PCGS...
If you look a little closer Dave you'll see that actual realized prices are often half of what the price guides list for a retail price. So you...
Why not just send him a PM and ask for yourself ?
Maybe, I dunno. But don't take my word for it, see for yourself. Go buy some Jewel Luster. Take a new coin, a clad quater or dime, a cent - any...

The only point I am trying to prove is that Numismedia prices are not very accurate. Using a few of your examples - 1938 D/S Buffalo...
I think a lot of people have problems with the TPGs because they don't understand how the system works. They don't read the instructions carefully...
Well I specialized in world gold for quite a few years, so if I can be of any help - all ya have to do is ask ;)
First of all, NGC does not have their own price guide. What you find if you go look is this - NumisMedia is the industry's most accurate,...
Race I agree with you that there are many educated buyers on ebay. But the only way you can ever use realized prices from any venue is to add them...
I agree, and obviously NGC did too.
OK here's the deal. When you use Jewel Luster you dip the coin for about 1 second max. Any longer than that and you will strip away any and all...
There is little that could be farther from the truth than what you just said. Now I am not saying this to try and convince you personally of...
