Sam - Properly dipping coins has been an accepted practice in the numismatic community for decades, generations even. And yes, it is still an...
No, there is only the one PCGS 5, no subvarieties.
It's not a perception that I disagree with them at all Paul, it's a stated fact that I do. I have said so many times. The thing that I find...
And Paul, I really don't think there is anybody who isn't well aware that I disagree with the grading standards used by the TPGs or that I grade...
Oh I knew that, that's what made me laugh so hard.
Main thing I wanted to know is if it was easier to for you to see the effects in hand.

What would the coin dealer have to be able to do to accept your deal ? He either has to be able to make a profit when he sells the bullion, or he...
When you don't know, how do you find out ? You do so by asking, usually privately, people that you do know and trust.
Maybe you should be the one to do that Paul.
Well therein lays part of the problem, people look at pictures and read something, having no idea what is being talked about or what they are...
One more thing just for you. Here's a picture of an actual die with die polish lines on it. [ATTACH] You see any of them criss-crossing or...

Separate names with a comma.
