I'm thinking of submitting 4 or 5 gold coins with the possibility of reselling them. I'm relying on PCGS Photograde to approximate their grade,...
Thanks so far, I was a little put off by the business aspect of both, knowing they're going to maximize their profits, but thought maybe, just...
To all you most excellent members of Coin Talk, I'm ready to join PCGS or NGC as a member to take advantage of their submission offers (as well...
You're correct, that's why I didn't use quotation marks. I sure as heck didn't want to incur the wrath of Ahab! ("Honey, there's a man with a...

Why didn't they just flip a ......................never mind.
Capital gains taxes on coin sales? Reported to the IRS? Uh-oh.
OK thanks, I think I get it. Did some research (wifey said, "Fercryinoutloud, don't be so lazy, look it up. Is that you, mum?) and an eyeopener...
OK folks, I need a little clarification. Just exactly what does, "Not Genuine, struck copy" mean ? Had some coins graded and one came back with...
After my first purchase of a gold coin my wifey said, "you weren't as excited about our firstborn ! Don't you think he's more precious?"...
Why do grading companies (most notably ANACS) give a coin a "genuine" heading, but offer nothing additional ? If the coin is genuine, wouldn't it...
