No, it isn't. Moderators are moderators so they can enforce the forum rules. What most people seem to forget is that Moderators, includingme,...

A whole lot more likely that they just followed him and waited for the opportune time.
JBlade - What you have to understand is this. It doesn't matter what the coins cost. There's 3 basic things that are required if you wish to...
Can't help you much with value, but grade wise I'd say the coin is a low VF.
You can get policies that cover them for basically any situation, including in transit. But that doesn't mean he had one that did. Or it could be...
Just a wild guess on my part but the coin kind of looks like it may have been lightly polished a long time ago, and then toned afterwards. I'd say...

I don't think the coin looks whizzed at all. But I am put off by the color and the grainy and bumpy appearance. I don't care for the light scratch...
Toning and tarnish are EXACTLY the same thing, and both are "in" the metal not on it. Patina ? Well, that depends on who you ask, and I suppose...
Some will probably think this is a rare occasion, (that I agree with the TPGs), it isn't, but some will think it is. I agree wholeheartedly with...
Yes it is ;) I cannot stress enough how important understanding this is ! And it is also important to understand that sometimes toning can...
I would guess it was too late a couple months ago. But you can call and ask them.
They are pretty much just what they say they are. For a time the mint was selling these things. They'd take a canceled die and a coin (or coins)...
It makes perfect sense as to why he would sell it and take the 20k loss - it's because he has no idea how much further down the price will go if...
