Look 'em up on Heritage Steve and you'll see what you want to know. If a Jeff has 6, then NGC labels it as 6 on the slab. But they didn't used to,...
C'mon now Ben, tell us how you really feel :D
Ya know all this talk about the difference in price between Red and RB/BN copper of the same grade always makes me think of something that most...
There is some truth in your comment, but it is also misleading to a degree. For CAC will not buy all coins they place a sticker on - but they will...
So run down to one of the Baltimore shows and look at them. It isn't like it's along ways off for you.
You miss the point jello. That being - only a very small percentage of collectors can grade coins correctly and accurately. Those few collctors do...
In recent threads I've tried to explain several times, but just can't be done with words. It can't be done with pictures either. You have to see...
There is not much you can do to help that coin. It is completely corroded. About all you could do would be to attempt to stop additonal corrosion....
Precisely. The point was that many, I would even say most, collectors think they know how to grade, when they really don't.
Paul - what do you think I meant by the use of this phrase - "meaning they were good for the grade" :whistle:
No, they are not making it up. The part that says - "and may not be toned brown, olive, or any other color" comes direct from the ANA standards,...
The coin has haze. It is quite common on more modern Proofs, and as has been suggsted it mayor may not develop into toning. Whether it will or...
Excellent post Dru :thumb:
You are doing what you are doing for good reasons. But I kind of had something else in mind. You see, and I mean no disrespect whatsoever, you...
Based on PCGS grading standards a toned coin can even be graded as MS70. But based on ANA grading standards, only copper coins must have...
But who is "we" jello ? That's where people get lost. People tend to think of others as being like them. But they aren't. Think for minute...
The reason for this is definitions. What constitutes a Proof in one person's mind does not necessarily constitutue a Proof in somebody else's...
You as the owner don't. But should you ever wish to sell that coin, the potential buyers will because most of them do not trust their own...
But it's who's opinion it is that matters. If for example I told you that in my opinion you have a rare form of cancer and will likely not live...
Like it or not the two different concepts, TPGs and CAC, serve a purpose. That purpose is to provide opinions for those who do not possess the...
