In my experience slabs have far less credibility with copper collectors so, frankly, I wouldn't even bother.
That must have been quite some time ago . . . I recall over a decade ago a local collector submitted an AG 1873-CC NA 25c to PCGS. They kept the...
I'm not in full agreement with this statement. There are some methods of cleaning deemed acceptable by some, yet this is not because the coin is...
Ditto that . . .
Although I like the look, the SLQ looks just a little "helped" to me. It may be my eyes, but the Kennedy looks like it saw just the barest of...
A 2% dip to me is really meaningless in the big picture . . . Don't buy dips in gold on the prospect of making a short term profit . . . buy gold...
