That is partly why I asked you in the other post about the dates. In 2005 when they first started producing the satin Mint Sets the quality of the...
In one sentence you say that you don't know how I can say that the TPGs loosened up their grading standards. But in the very next sentence you say...
Well, believe it. Because that IS what is happening. All you have to do to be able to believe it is to consider how many coins there are sent by...
if you think about it the answer is pretty easy. It's because they don't know which ones they'll keep and which ones they'll sell to other dealers.
Nope, it isn't. This thread - http://www.cointalk.com/t196131/ - proves that. And there are many, many, others just like it.
The best way to do that is to send me a PM. (I closed it yesterday) Anytime you have a question, about anything, send me a PM. Or anytime you are...
Yes it would. But that II with the O over it on the coin sure is troublesome. That is exactly how the 2 reales was marked ! An 8 reales would have...
LOL ! Depends on what you're talking about. Where facts are concerned there is a definite right and wrong.

At the least. I used to have a couple of raw 68's that I found at coin shows over the years. But only 2, after looking at thousands and thousands.
OK everybody - heads up ! I'm usually pretty lax when it comes to contest here. Too lax it seems. If it had not been reported I would have missed...
Contest of this type are not permitted on Coin Talk !
For the most part, no. In some grades, you bet.
No doubt. But are they still alive ? Not likely.
I always get a kick out of those "advisories". That group all by itself can pretty much make the market on a specific series or small group of...
They don't get in trouble because you can't prove a coin is AT - or NT for that matter. All anybody can do is guess.
I dunno, looks like the IHC and the seated dollar might be AT, but the others I'm not so sure. I'd bet ya money though the coins don't look like...
There's never any rhyme or reason when it comes to what the TPGs decide is market acceptable and what isn't - never has been. Honestly, you should...
Separate names with a comma.
