Was PCGS still using those slabs with series and coin numbers in 2003? That damn thing is radioactive. Please tell me this is a fake slab. 100% AT

If you know and agree with the assigned grade of a 20th Century coin, finding both price guide info and previous auction prices realized online is...
Because I see no other reason to scrap the entire grading system. Furthermore, you are accusing me of being a lazy collector. I've won the Best...
Oh please, like it would even be possible to come up with a valuation using that ridiculous method. And you are the one who wants to get rid of...
I don’t wanna spend hours trying to determine the value of an AU58 coin that is premium gem quality by searching hundreds of auction archives...
For ancients, probably not. For Jefferson Nickels and most other 20th Century coinage, YES it matters.
That idea is a ridiculous fantasy. Go collect ancients if that’s what you like.
It’s nice to see that you admit that the “wear is wear” philosophy occasionally creates a severe grading problem. As for how to address the...
I’m sorry, but that’s an absolute dodge of my question. If all of the Saints are graded AU58 because they all have high point friction, no amount...
Unless the coin was net graded for washed out luster due to an improper dipping, then I don’t understand that grade at all. And your photos seem...

MS64
Almost every single Saint shows high point wear on the knee/breast. How would a collector or dealer price the coins when they are all graded the...
If anything, that photo makes the coin look even cleaner with respect to surfaces and now I'm even more torn about whether it should be MS66, but...
Cabinet friction is used synonymously with roll friction. So while finding a coin with cabinet friction might be difficult, finding coins with...

I think it is MS65+ The strike is not great but the luster looks good and the surfaces are definitely gem.

That’s some steely madness right there. Ok what are the buy price and sale price for this Appalachian Jefferson? Wholesale is $50 and please...
