I'm not a currency specialist, but just from observation, here are potential issues that could cause grading differences (similar to coins and...
Copper is softer than nickel, so maybe the acid reacted more with the copper core.
I didn't see any ifs in your post (except at the end). These usually sell for $100-$125 retail setting for G notes, maybe $185-$225 VG. I think...
So, I got bored today and decided to look through a roll of WW2 quarters that I had lying around. Anyway, according to the Fourth edition (yes, I...
I would HATE seeing that. It's bad enough seeing people tte around GG designations. Don't create more worthless degrees/designations.
Is it possible that you're wrong on this? I mean, I think a lot of it has to do with orientation, as opposed to simply adherence. If you imagine...
Why not just post it on eBay? They charge high (13-14% net on auctions including Paypal's take) fees, but you can list it for what you think is...
I think it's a HUGE stretch to call it viable. Essentially, they ended up working like gift cards, except a lot heavier, and they could lose...
I have no idea what you're talking about, and I don't grasp the terms for the most part, but anything that follows pop indicators as an argument...
Raw = ungraded / unslabbed. It's a deceptive marketing term borrowed from the sportscard market, I believe. I think PSA uses the term "raw" for...

I have 18 ounces of 0.999 silver (bars and rounds) for sale at spot plus Paypal & shipping fees. Basically, if you're willing to pay as a "gift"...

Here are a pair of Morgans (front & back):
I disagree with the impact of Petro-dollars on the definition of the price of gold in 2035. As I said in the post, I expect our NG reserves to...
If it's in a TPG holder, just sell it as a graded coin. If there's any doubt to the legitimacy of toning, mention it. I'm under the impression...
As lonegun pointed out, if this were entirely true, it would actually result in the price of gold going down in the long run. However, it's not...
You're probably very correct on that. That was the OTHER possibility, but my outcome assessment was based upon experience with Prestige sets, as well.
Wouldn't the stock market be a perfect example of a negative sum game? Transaction costs affect both sides of the trade, which would create a...
This is a good baseline argument, but it's even more extreme than that. Most of the mid-major miners rely upon sustained gold prices above $1085...
Separate names with a comma.
