Yes, that coin is AT.
Being in an NGC/PCGS holder means nothing. This seller is known to have developed methods to alter coins already slabbed. Photographs can be...
My instant reaction is that these are all copies. I'm not familiar with colonials (I'm guessing the vast majority of collectors are not familiar...
Honestly, if she was as excited as you said, I'd probably open a few rolls with her. Offer a bottle of wine while you hang out and bond over the...
I'm not sure what this award/medal is. Can you explain it to us?
It sold for 4843 Euro.
@rmpsrpms probably has some good suggestions as well. He builds some pretty awesome setups.
I'm assuming that you are talking about their photograph app? https://www.pcgs.com/photograde/ This is an excellent resource, but sorely lacking...
Now that's something I can definitely agree on.
Amazing resource, and one that I use frequently. I've spent the last few nights reading a book on there about a coin that I will be buying soon.

For most of the US coinage life, most of the series were aligned with each other. I tend to divide US coinage history along those series lines,...
Low margins can be overcome by large volume, but that doesn't sound like this guy. Large volume is how outfits like Apmex can charge great prices...
I hate to ask what it looked like before..... The thing with "some rim toning from being in an album" is the coin is original, and has developed...
Dewitt, I see a bunch of pocket change. None of those are worth paying to have graded.
I guess all of these aren't enough clues that the pictures are bad?
There is a difference between being "grumpy" and being realistic. When people post awful photos and ask for grades, and we tell them that their...
The problem is, that "rim tone" is already the result of a "quick dip" that wasn't properly rinsed. I wouldn't exactly call it "ugly," even if it...
That blue thing is not natural.
Thing is, nobody can accurately grade proofs from photographs. Even if robec, rmpsrpms, or messydesk took the photographs, they cannot capture all...
Separate names with a comma.
