There were definitely rolls of Morgans available Jello, I used to buy them. And there are rolls of Morgans available even today. But never once...
Chris - my point is this. Yes, TPG slabs restrict the ability of the ambient air to get to the coins better than the mint's plastic Proof Set...
Except for that the fact that there's never been a shotgun roll of Morgan dollars.
OK, I'd agree - if you stored your coins out in the open like on your coffee table. But if you use proper storage methods there is little...
StandingPride - just buy one slabbed by NGC or PCGS. There is little price difference from VF to AU for these.
While I understand what you are trying to ask, it is a pointless question in most cases because it can never be answered. There are however some...
I suppose it depends on what you are calling "auction houses". To me companies like Heritage, Teletrade, Stacks, Goldberg, Steinberg, Bowers and...
Any and all coins must be graded based on the worst side. That is the rule that all of the TPGs use and the ANA uses the same rule.
Both of those coins are low to mid AU at best.
There have been literally hundreds of threads written on the subject of proper storage. But the rules are pretty simple. First of all the coins...
Personally I'd say AU details, damaged. There looks to be light wear in a few places and the coin has several scratches by the LUR.
Since it appears to be damaged it would not grade. And that is probably why the coin was put back into circulation.
Even if the coin has been in his family for 50 years, and we assume that none of them ever did anything to the coin - which is not really a fair...
Well for one thing the packaging. The Proofs sets, even though the coins are in plastic, all come in cardboard boxes. And that cardboard is laden...
Chocolate and vanilla I guess, looks like a candidate for grade guarantee to me.
Perhaps they did have something to do with it. But do you believe that it was because you were the one submitting it - favoritism to you in other...
Even the ANA guidelines for the type of light to use when grading a coin dictate that incandescent bulbs be used - and that comes from standards...
Have you ever read the ANA standards ? If not, you should. You should also be aware that no TPG uses the ANA grading standards. Every one of them...
All I can tell you is what I have seen with my own eyes. Fluorescent light does not work as well, in fact it even hides some things that stand out...
Anyone can infer whatever they want. But the fact remains that the graders have no idea who submitted the coins and they have no idea what tier...
