You are asking 2 different questions. As stated already, for question 1 the size of the pic will vary depending on the distance from the camera to...
Fair enough, and I would agree. So say you pick each one of the examples you listed 1 at a time. Where would you go to look up the value for each...
No worries, just get out the toothpaste and a brush :D
So these boxes you want to use, am I correct in assuming that you are going to place numerous coins in each one, loose, so the coins bang around...
The reason you can't grade every series the same is really quite simple - it's because they are not the same. Nothing about them is the same, they...
See if this helps - The coin is definitely not polished, cd would know. Not sure it would go DMPL though, the reverse doesn't seem to have the...
I suppose the easiest way to think of it is this - it's a giant circle. Any given coin at some point is sold by a collector to a dealer. That coin...

Shed light on it ? I really don't think you want my opinion. Spending $1225 for $980 worth of gold ? :rolleyes:
No, not at all. What I am suggesting is that everybody use the same set of grading standards. As it is now, NGC has their own set of standards,...
Well I'll certainly agree that these pics don;t show all the marks the previous pics did. Still think I can see some on the coin though. And I...
Been there, done that.
You assume correctly. They aren't even close. Carl is correct, to make something water tight is much easier than making it airtight. And any slab...
You don't feel welcome because of the comment of 1 person ? I fail to see the logic in that. The post you refer to does not break any forum...
I have begun using the term value grading Eddie so that people would begin to understand the concept. When having a discussion about different...
Enough of this nonsense.
Separate names with a comma.
