This was a $200+ coin, many moons ago. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Post some photos if you want opinions.
Unfortunately, you picture didn't work. As for the rattle holders, I hate them when they rattle. I broke a coin out of the rattle holder years...
That is not a "Reverse Proof" label; it's a "Specimen" label.
I don't think that it's a Reverse Proof. It looks more like a Matte Proof. Here's an odd ball coin from 1998. It's the 1998-S Matte Proof that...
Here is another example of how "grade-flation" has worked. This 1861 double eagle is in an AU-58 holder. I bought this coin raw many years ago and...
It has been dipped, and I would give it an AU-55 based on my "old time grading." I imagine that it's in an AU-58 or MS-61 or 62 holder. And the...
This is an "almost really nice" Flowing Hair Half Dollar. Much beyond this grade, EF-45, and these coins get to be very pricey. [ATTACH] The...
I guess the counterfeiting laws are treated like the shop lifting laws in San Francisco. If you steal less than $1,000, it's okay. :punch:
It's a shame he's not distributing counterfeit currency. Maybe then the authorities would take some interest in what he's doing.
"Charging up the wazoo" is mint policy now. You might get it for less in the secondary market in a few years contingent on lower bullion prices...
California gold $50 gold a.k.a. "Slug" The last one I saw I liked was priced at $72,000. 1907 wire rim with periods $10 gold. Very nice ones were...
If the local coin shop can make money from the coin, they should at least pay you what you paid. If they try to low ball you, just walk out. If...
Regardless of what the TPG did with it, I landed on my feet. It sold for strong money at the EAC auctions, now it's been slabbed.
This is fairly common CWT. The Fuld numbers are 173/273a. It was made by Scoville Manufacturing Company in Connecticut. It's rated as an R-2....
It amazes me how popular this new mint stuff seems to be. Time was if it wasn't coin, they were slow sellers. I still don't want one at that...
To be objective about third party grading, NGC did give this Chain Cent a straight grade of VF-30 (too high). My grade, all things considered, is...
I don't trust "True View" photos for grading. From I have seen, they are like the "glamor shots” they put in your high school yearbook. The poor...
I collect medals, but I don't go crazy over them. Most of the pieces I have are from the 19th century, or they are official presidential inaugural...
The Green sticker means that the coin meets their standards for the grade assigned. Originally it met that the CAC network of dealers will...
