Do you really consider a sarcastic quip with the intent to bait me letting it die? It is not my fault that you never put the effort forth to...
This discussion is not at all about the TPG's changing their grading standards. You claimed that PCGS blew the grade of the OP's coin. I pointed...
There you go blowing smoke again. I don't care when they added it to some meaningless glossary on their website. I have a first edition copy of...
So you want a significant portion of the TPG graded Walkers to reside in AU58 holders? At some point Doug, you are going to have to stop...
I actually use both the E-Bay upload an post an embedded photo in my description. If I didn't have a store, I would probably use more embedded...
Doug, I agree with that policy if buying from a new dealer. But the other thing you have preached for years is to buy coins from a dealer that...
Both buyers and sellers still leave feedback. The only change that took place was that sellers can no longer leave negative feedback. If you buy...
Here is my story. I listed a toned MS65 Morgan Dollar with a $500 BIN or Best Offer. A guy with a feedback of 5 messages me instead of...

He doesn't have them all. [IMG] [IMG] Population 19/0 BTW, the 1950-D was a known scarce mintage and the coin was widely hoarded. So much so...
Can you see the die line on the reverse?
I am moving on. This is the best struck Jefferson Nickel I have ever seen despite the fact that the 6th step is incomplete. It almost has a...
I found a nice little paper that describes the "ghosting" process pretty well and some cool photographic examples as well. The Ghost Coins
I would say no, that is die wear but not the "halo effect". Notice the luster contrast in the fields on the two coins that I posted. The effect...
