BTW, Todd saying "I do coin photography" is like Michelangelo saying "I painted a few ceilings".
I can't stress enough knowing the coin and if at all possible the dealer (and having the dealer know you! - repeat customers get better prices -...
You will have a blast! You won't see everything - you can't, but you will feel like a dog with a new bone! And one of those good meaty ones from...
Remember, ANACS is not a monolith. The grading standards applied during ANA ownership, Amos Press Ownership, Anderson Press ownership and now...
Yeah, there will be 3,000-4,000 people over the run...
517 = 440 + 17.5% bp 587.50 = 500 + 17.5% bp 705 = 600 + 17.5% bp If you check HA's site...

Are there contemporary counterfeits? Heck yeah - I own two. Actually often more valuable that the real thing. But not hard to tell... letters are...
nice clashed '55 AU55 maybe - there is a touch of wear on the highest points of the reverse (Diamond, arrow and ribbon), obverse looks pristine.
They met the need... Remember this is 1850. Don't have a post office on every corner and supermarkets selling stamps. A business in town might go...
Especially on the rarer dates... You see it in the TPG stats, in the % of details coins. For example (at NGC) 1878 8TF Morgan - 11,395 graded,...
Major PIDT - see the outlines of the C on star side and the more common star on the C side? I would need to see it in hand, the top of the...

Well, I have an 1851O marked (and sold as) and 1851... Agreed
