You are comical, I'm not the one hurling personal attacks. You need to look in the mirror!
Oh, whats the matter, truth hurt? You have not made a meaningful post since I joined this forum in 2008. All you do is troll threads, look for...
Why should it matter that your opinion differs from those of the TPGs. All that should matter is the ability to predict how they will grade a...
Rainbow toning drives a premium price on Morgan Dollars and every other type of coin as well. People will always pay for exceptional eye appeal....
Gradeflation increases the value of the coin that is upgraded but decreases the value of the higher graded coins. You can't blame the TPGs for...
This is where it gets convoluted. The exceptions related to market grading are intentional. Allowances for roll friction and eye appeal are...

The problem here is not the coin, it is my photography. The color on this coin simply hides from my normal setup. But as I recently discovered,...
Yeah, the colors on the obverse are very vibrant, unlike those in the photo. But everytime I think a coin will star, it doesn't. Based on the...
Auction archives show that untoned MS66+ CAC 1882-S Morgans have been selling for $300-$400 over the last year. And while PCGS thinks this coin...
The left photo was taken using my normal setup with my digital camera, copy stand, and 2 fluorescent lights at 10 & 2 with the appropriate white...
