Not sure why the photos are so small. Maybe this will help. [IMG]
You had me in the first sentence, then you lost me. The TPGs give us one grade for our money. There are four different criteria for grading...
Guess the assigned grade of the 1945-D Jefferson Nickel graded by NGC shown below and vote in the attached poll. [IMG] [IMG] As always, comments...
A typical response from the lunatic fringe. By posting a kool-aid photo, your insinuation is that I "blindly" agree with everything that the TPGs...
You have just touched on a topic that I hate more than any other in our hobby. This idea that the market is "willy nilly" and will just up and...
The argument that I made about strike can easily be made about high point friction. Almost all St Gaudens double eagles exhibit friction on the...
Let me see if I understand your point. You think that the dealers & graders engage in predatory behavior against collectors and your solution is...
I have to admit, I didn't want to be the first person to say that coin is overgraded, but I completely agree. I like the toning, but that his a...
I'm shaking my head that you actually think the intention of the Indian Relocation Act of 1830 was to commit genocide. There is a difference...

It would be pretty easy to make the argument that the answer to that question should be YES. One such argument would be that if you viewed a...
What slows me down when grading coins are the strike designations such as FS, FB, FH, & FBL. They are hard to see and if you get it wrong the...
They are called acetate slides typically but they are not easy to come by. I found a thread on another forum that indicated if you are...
I would be interested to know how long it takes the members of this forum to come to a grading decision when participating in GTG (guess the...
The overall quality of the 1880-S, 1881-S, & 1882-S Morgan Dollars is better than pretty much all the other dates. It actually makes a little...
Did he provide any anecdotal examples? If so, what were they?
I sold mine a few years ago. [IMG]
I think you did get ripped on the first one. I have no idea what is causing them to grade that Morgan MS62. I have no problem with the last two...
Separate names with a comma.
