A couple of things. First of all just because a person is "asking" $160 for that coin, that doesn't mean he will get it. He might, but if he does...
Oh I understand the reasoning why people want the problem coins slabbed and why they want an estimation of detail condition. But what a lot of...
It happens when people backspace too far and remove part of the code. I think I've fixed it for them now.
Based on the pictures I would say at one time that coin was completely (or very nearly so) black. Then it was dipped, which removed most of the...
I don't deny that, but I don't agree with it either. And at times I will discuss the condition of the details too. But it was not very long ago...

Let's just say that your definition of "official policy" and mine are different. The mint does not make official policy. The mint, from the...
Can you even count high enough to list the number of times that sentiment has been expressed on this forum ? Becoming ? It's ancient history....
:stop: Oh God don't give him ideas ! It's bad enough with the ones that are coming as it is :nailbiting: he doesn't need any help !
This is kind of the key to your discussion. The changes were not mandated by law or official policy, they were simple changes made by the mint in...
The software does have limitations Chris. In other words, we don't get to pick and choose what it does and does not do in some cases.
General rule of thumb - about 10% less than spot. Sell to who, dealers at a show ? Most probably wouldn't even buy them. But for those who did,...
Separate names with a comma.
