That's not really a good diagnostic. All that is required for the situation you describe to occur is for one die to be out of alignment. Many...
You obviously have never dealt with a trusted dealer. A trusted dealer does all the leg work for you. You tell him the coins you want in the grade...
dimeguy - no reason to trust ebay when it's so very easy to just buy them from a trusted dealer. Of course there are some trusted dealers who sell...
Used to be the most expensive Hobo - not any more. Read the post before yours.
While you can submit coins for grading in several different ways, as explained in the other posts, you still have to pay the grading fees. There...
Pretty much any Proof coin minted prior to 1973 is going to be a lot more scarce in Cameo than those without the Cameo. And any with Deep/Ultra...
Yes it works by itself.

Only a fool would buy those. Terrible pic where you can't see anything, a site that nobody ever heard of, etc etc etc. Buying those coins...
Looks pretty obvious to me. There is simply little ativity on the blog page with only 56 entries for the entire year. Of course you could also...
Correct, and classic commems have been one of the markets dead spots ever since they were minted. Back in the '90s and early '00s silver was...
You're right, I don't judge. My mantra has always been - and you know this - collect what you like. Now, that to a large extent is the issue....
The first day I just had it sitting in my desk drawer tray. I placed on the window sill last night. The change in color in just 24 hours was...
Correct, common sense says that a different mix in the alloy has to be a different color. But I readily agree with you that as time passes the...
