Ehhh, not necessarily. PCGS has slabbed many coins that have scratches on them. The difference is, NGC thought the scratch was severe enough to...
I think pretty much everybody here knows that I believe the TPGs have more than a few problems. But even with their problems they still serve a...
He pretty much said already, because NGC saw it in hand and he hasn't. And based on your pics, I can't see much of anything.
While that single example may illustrate your point, it in no way proves your point. You even comment on that yourself in that same thread where...
Hang ups ? If your comment means that you and think very, very, differently about many things, with that I would agree 100%. And yes, I have...
Even when you like the look of the lower graded coin better than the higher graded coin ? Really ? edit - I'm assuming, that when you say 5...
There are. Even in all of my years of collecting and studying coins, and I started in 1960, I have never once submitted even a single coin to a...
Based on that pic the only area I see that might be in question is the curl over the ear. The diagnostic to tell weak strike from wear is that...
I certainly don't know enough about this particular coin to say whether it is a fake or not. And I already know, with reasonable certainty, there...
And many do. And for a lot folks (meaning potential buyers) the reputation of the seller, or the person helping them, is enough. But what...
Why ? Because to some originality means more than a higher grade. You see it's not so much the CAC sticker that matters, it's the fact that the...
You're not alone in that way of thinking, there are many who think the same. But as Tom explained, and as it has been explained many times in the...
I don't think it's a fake, I think it's just misidentified as a Proof.
The question was asked - why do coins like this make it through ? And then it was discussed as to whether or not the pictures do the coin justice,...
Nothing happened to it. There have always been people who will keep and honor their word and people who will not. In simplest terms - good guys...
According to - MONETY POLSKIE by Janusz Parchimowicz and published in 2003, the coin was not minted in Proof.
Easy, it's called inconsistency. If you cracked them out and sent them back to PCGS, or NGC, again, you would probably get a mix, some slabbed and...
Could be mistaken but based on your picture sure looks like a '68.
Sadly, I had to close that place down Guy. The city kept giving me problems about having lines around the block 12 hrs a day, blocking the...
Nobody is denying that what you are doing can be done Vic. Merely that maybe it can be done a little easier, simpler, and yes even cheaper, with...
