Looks like it to me.
I am well aware of Copernicus and Galileo Joe. But perhaps you are unaware that the writings of both of these men were condemned and surpressed....
Even with the mistakes it is still one of the greatest references of all time.
People back then didn't even know there were other worlds, let alone possibly beings on them. The idea that whatever it is on those coins might be...
That's fine Mike. Now you go invent one that can actually do it - and then I'll be a believer. Until then, I'll stick to what we have.
Yeah the software has improved - but it still can't do what I mentioned below. And David, you better check that again. If not for the computers...
It certainly could have been fake. There are as many fake gold/silver bars out there as there fake coins. Just not as many people know about them....
I disagree. Think about it for a minute. Yeah we all think that computers have made huge advances in the past 20 years - but they haven't....
That's the problem with computerized grading and why it doesn't work. They tried it a couple of times - miserable failures. They ended up with...

The difference between an argument and a discussion is but one thing - the loudness of the voices. I'm not yelling, didn't think you were either....

Slaves don't get breaks :D Now back to work !
I didn't say that PCGS and NGC didn't play a part in determining the value of a coin. I said they do not have a vested interest in what the value...
All right Mike, yes apples are grown, but I think my point is valid. And you're right, manufactured products can be standardized. But in order...
First of all, and many people make this mistake, the ANA standards ARE NOT techncial. The ANA standards are based on market grading. They have...
Precisely, but I think the entire reverse has been worked on. Look at how bumpy the surface of the coin is (using that last pic). Part of the O in...
OK - can you tell me what vested interest in value that NGC or PCGS has ? They could care less what the coin is worth - it makes no difference to...
No that is not what the ANA standards do. The ANA standards do use eye appeal, they do use luster and they do use toning as toning can be a large...
Mike you are talking about 2 differnt things. Removing the value aspect from grading is an idea I am all in favor of - and it could easily be done...
Separate names with a comma.
