I don't disagree, Insider. It's just that many people who I respect on both sides of the aisle couldn't come to a definitive answer as to whether...
"I offer $250" - Homer Simspon :D
I have no problem going there and intend to. But many of the people on other forums belong to CAC Forum and they themsleves don't know what to...
It appears they have shifted to a very conservative grading scheme, akin to technical grading (or at least aspects of it). That is why so many...
Charley, I'm just trying to see what CACG is doing now vs. what JA and CAC said 15 years ago. That's it. And yeah, at the time -- and he...
But are a fluorescent light and a scope going to be used on the assembly line that is today's TPGs ? I wonder....:D I'd have no problem wagering...
I think AI can do that -- down the road, MB. For sure, probably not right now. If forced to wager on a week's worth of coin grading -- say, 1000...
Absolutely, but this is something I think that with high-res optical scanners, various lighting types, and AI...you can scan a coin HUNDREDS of...
Well, the 2008 interview with Maurice Rosen he said that "C" coins WERE properly graded just would not qualify for a CAC sticker like "A" and "B"...
I've been saying/thinking that for years and yet have been ASSURED multiple times that graders with years of experience need only 15-20 seconds...
What coin series are you referencing, MB ? Was this most likely during the period of loosey-goosey grading in the late-1990's/early-2000's ?
Nice coins....had to sell my 1915-S earlier this year to pay some bills, hurt. :( Will post some of the others later.
Predictions are fun, but they really are guesswork with gold which is tougher to predict than stocks or bonds where you can at least quantify some...
Well, if you want to change the title if you find your gold chart, I have others that might be of interest, too. :D
Do you plan on living another 300-500 years ? Because that is probably when you will find "all money is worthless" along with virtually every...
"C" Coins: Apparently I missed that CAC is saying that they are NOT putting "C" coins in CACG holders that match the grade they otherwise merit....
You mean putty or surface alterations ? I read more about that a decade ago....not as much now. Insider, how difficult is it to detect...
Or a 63 with a CAC bean. :D
Yup, they are like the person buying something NEW and paying a PREMIUM (in terms of costs of re-grading and loss of value to their coin) just for...
If you go back to the 2008 interview with Maurice Rosen, JA says that CAC stickers (which as we all know command a premium) are for the "A" and...
