No, not at all. I could easily the minimum increasing to $50 (10x5) if they had to take the time to contact the submitter and then go back forth...
Not really. An educated buyer will pay the same for a coin whether it is raw or slabbed. The benefit that a slabbed coin has is that it is easier...
Not really, I just call 'em as I see 'em. PCGS obviously saw something to make them say 62, and there are no other marks of any consequence. So...
Thanks Mark.
It may not matter to some folks, but what I did was this. I put myself in Matt's shoe's. If I were the dealer, I'd never buy that coin unless I...
No, it wasn't rude at all. Your post was deleted because it was in violation of the forum rules. What was rude was YOU posting such a thing -...
Howdy Mark - good to see you ! I looked for that old thread of yours where you gave your 10 tips for coin collecting, but I couldn't find it. Do...
Think about you define older though, do you have a date range in mind ? I say this because many people would consider coins from the 1930's as old...
There's pretty much an entirely different set of rules and guidelines for collecting ancients. I know that's what you're saying, but the way you...
I'd say that one was dipped a bit too long in an effort to get the black off the coin. Couple that with the field scrapes behind the eagle's head...
I think the title of this thread was his idea.
Nor did I take it that way ;)
I've got news for you, it's really hard to tell without the plastic ! And you don't want to use a microscope to try and tell that difference. You...
What can make coin collecting better ? There's a couple of different ways to read that question I think. But the one I will address is what can...
One link out of all of them in the dealer's list is no good. That's after 5, almost 6 years. That alone should be an indication of the quality of...
NGC just plain over-graded that coin, bout all there is to it. And as for whoever bought it, well they stuck right with the program and over-paid...
Well it's not exactly a term that you would hear, but I didn't know what else to call it. Look at the edge of the coin where around the slab prong...
Well that kind of depends. If you bought the coin close to its melt value then you have nothing to worry about. But if you paid a numismatic...
Why is that people always say there's no dealers near them and they have to buy on-line ? But when they do buy on-line, they go to ebay or to some...
Would be pretty tough for it to be file marks and not have them take out the top edge of the bust. Look at it, they stop just short of the top...
Separate names with a comma.
