That one is probably overgraded at 61. Yours might make 61, possibly. There are a ton of marks all over your coin, but there don't appear to be...
That coin is somewhere in the 62/63 range, and I'd probably guess 63 if you made me pic one (better pics might narrow it down a bit better). It...
On those bright shiny moderns, there was no appreciable patina or surface toning. Hence the electrolysis had nothing to remove - and thus the...
I have an Excel Spreadsheet that I've been building for the last 23 years. I'm pretty fond of it by now.
I got Scott Traver's Coin Collector's Survival Manual, and Ron Guth's Coin Collecting for Dummies together for Christmas when I was 10. I don't...

You can find nice coins in ICG and ANACS holders, if you look hard enough. The problem is, they are far less liquid than NGC. So, any nice coin...
How good is CoinTalk compared to the TPGs? Let's find out! Over the next several months, I'll be posting a continuous stream of Guess the Grade...
Wow, that is a rotten apple for sure.
I honestly have no idea why the Blue Book still exists.
Mr. Bond Villian... you can also feel free to start a new thread for each show report. You might get more responses ;) There is no limit to the...
1. My concern is that he is describing them as "more appealing" than the original coins. The reason he's wrong needs to be explained to beginners....
Well, that's a proof set.... so not uncirculated. I'd call that a damaged proof.
Don't forget to vote in the poll. You have to vote for your guess to count!
