OK,you bought it and the seller shipped it insured. Under ebay rules he would have to ship it with signature confirmation required. If he didn't...
No, like a lot of people I think you are confusing SEGS with SGS. SEGS began in 1998 long before the self slabbers began (because generic shells...
It is against the ebay rules, but you have to get them enforce them, and often they don't.
The explanation holds true for both the 2009 nickel and dime. In 2008 the economy crashed, people lost their jobs, and a LOT of people were just...
At the show yesterday I was reading an old issue (May 12th 2014) of Coin World when I ran across something I had forgotten. ICG WILL slab...
It has been long enough ago that I don't remember which, but it WAS either PCGS or NGC not one of the others.
Definitely NOT an 1807/6 either large (S-273) or small 7 (S-272). (273 has a pointed 1 in the date, this one doesn't. Both 2727 and 273 have the...
One person sent in a sealed proof set and once and one came back as counterfeit! That was back when they did bodybags and sometimes I suspect...

I would think ICG might be willing to certify one as what it is, a Henning counterfeit. And PCGS and NGC DO slab some counterfeits, you just have...
Kentucky State Show Sept 25th - 27th Louisville KY I'll be there the 25th and at least part of the 26th.
Typical ugly reverse proof.
All of the 1820's quarters had a curl top 2. This coin has a club top. The 1830's had club tops to their 3's, but they did not have the scroll...
When the coins are struck they DO get hot, but they top out at under 200 degrees F. That is several hundred degrees below the melting point for...
It could be done on the early coins because the mintages were lower and the number of dies was smaller. To get an idea of the number of...
Out of business a LONG time ago, and they weren't in business that long either. You don't see ANICS certificates very often. (I don't normally...
I'll bet he didn't say it weighed as much as two pennies, he said it weighs two pennyweights (or 3.1 grams which happens to be the weight of a...
