I just received an e-mail from CAC confirming this: "We only use the numeric grade when determining whether a coin gets a sticker or not."
If NGC cracks the coin before grading it, don't send it to NGC. It seems ironic that the company that for a very long time had the worst holders...
The 44-D $5 crack-out looks risky from here.
Last high relief proof Peace dollar struck. [ATTACH]
Two Indian 10 Rupee coins?
No way. Even if the one hadn't been made into a crude love token, it's still priced significantly above melt.
80-S is not an easy one. You have large S centered and upright. It only sort of looks tilted to the left because the punch is a bit malformed....
With the exception of ultra-rarities where each specimen can be traced, the survivorship numbers are estimates based on research done by...
With regard to CAC and plus together, I remember reading from a reliable source that CAC is silent with respect to a coin's plussiness. So an...
About $30-35. The coin grades VG, and 92-S is fairly common in low circulated grades.
Greens, pinks, purples -- mesmerizing. I'd like to see it again, too, but it's not on Monaco's website, so who knows where it ended up. I think...
I'd rather have one that isn't dipped white and doesn't have a fingerprint on it. The blast white PR69 is off-putting as well. Sometime within...
Best way to answer that is by checking auction prices realized. Curiously, there are four 1932 $10s that sold by Heritage at the same auction on...
Seems that if it's a colonial worth less than $3000, you could get it graded at a show for just $5 more.
My first VAM discovery almost 20 (!) years ago was this variety. Not a huge premium on this variety. Can't really get a read on the grade from...
These are quite a bit easier than Morgans. Worst case is something like 16 die marriages as opposed to 300, with a few being only one die pair...
Well, I checked mine, and since I checked them, I figured I'd label them, too. Most common 1840, and I assume the 1847 is also common. [ATTACH]
Mint Error 100% Clip
Gee, remember when the official memento for most shows was a wooden nickel for the cost of admission? Now your wooden nickel would have to be...
Cool! I have but a couple of these bad boys, and now I have another excuse to look more closely at them.
