I think what he's trying to say is, be smart about it. I generally disagree with his assessment of key dates (they will always be popular, and...
My favorite coin changes fairly often. I've got about a dozen that, depending on the day, I might say was my favorite. So, how about I post one...
Really? Wow. That seems super lenient. VF-35 should be just a smidge away from an EF - and that thing is nowhere close! Is this a case of key...
Wow. Some of the fakes you post are incredibly convincing - this is not one of them.
Honestly, I don't see anything. The pictures are too pixelated. It's entirely possible to discover new DDOs, I've found a couple myself....
Is that a proof? Dang, that looks awesome.
Great eye appeal on that piece. Congrats!
It's a gold shield, so when you check the PCGS cert number it should have pictures. Do the pictures match the coins? I personally have bought...
If you are interested in Moroccan coinage, learning the history of Morocco, learning about the symbols on the coins, and learning about the folks...
Wow, that is *dark* Too much wear for a 30, not enough wear for a 20. I'm going to go with the unusual grade of 25.
1946 - I'd call that a *very attractive* MS-64. 1906 - Very low AU. Definitely circulated, no question. Noticeable wear on all high points,...
Very nice! I was going to suggest that you search for an Italian type with a 20 reverse with much larger numerals and a more oval O... but it...
Riff has been pretty clear that a lot of his recent picks have come from bulk sales of unsorted world coins. The dealer literally doesn't have the...
Toning is uncommon on steel cents, but is possible. I agree with @cwart , however, they look like they have been treated. There is flattening on...
What I recommend, instead of going for the "highest" grade, is going for the "best grade for the money." Look at this chart for the 1885 Morgan...
Really, the choice is up to you: 1. A very high grade common date 2. A low grade key date 3. A mid-grade semi-key 4. A really nice toner 5. A...
AU in my opinion. Two key points to look at: notice the discoloration of the high points (such as the lettering on the reverse, and his cheek and...
If I was going to buy a Morgan for a type set, I'd absolutely get a DPL example. This is an uncommon example of a rather common coin, graded 65+...
Are these things that come up frequently enough to have a reasonable chance to obtain all of them? I'm not really familiar with any of them,...
I wouldn't worry about it too much. It's just their policy. It's not violating any laws, but that seems to be what they do here.
