Scott - That mark Twain piece you have is worth somewhere north of $1800. And depending on condition you could get more than that. Also, what...
I didn't magnify anything zach. I just took your image and cropped it to sow only the affected area. And added the arrows of course.
Eddie - if you took a raw coin and gave it your own grade, say MS66 and then offered it for sale at MS66 money, how many people do you think there...
I think that part of it is a die crack and part of it IS a scratch. The red arrows point to the die crack, with the top red arrow being the very...
Yes your scenarios are possible - but for how many times ? And just how many high MS grade coins do you think even exist ? Do you have any idea of...
lopez - most of what you have there are British coins. You can identify them and see approx values by using this link -...
Finding coins of different dates but of the same series with similar die cracks is not unusual. Think about it for a second, if you repeatedly...
Sorry, but there's really no way to estimate grade based on your pics.
For whatever reason people who do not know the history of coin grading seem to assume that market grading was invented by the TPGs. It wasn't. It...
Why do you think regular turn around time increases and decreases ? The more people there are who pay for speeded up service increases the regular...

Unless you are reasonably certain that the coins would grade 70 it would be a waste of money. And since you need to ask the question I would have...
As I have explained many times before, the ANA invented market grading in 1986 - the very same year that PCGS opened its doors for business.
The capsule that the mint uses is as good as an Air-Tite, and Air-Tite holders are among the best there are. Your coin is perfectly safe in that...
The Austrian 4 ducats coin was minted from 1872 thru 1915 with all of those dated 1915 being restrikes. The coins were struck for use as trade...
The problem with your slabs getting marked up is not due to PCGS, that is happening someplace in the pipeline after the coins leave PCGS.
Those dated 1915 are all restrikes and value is again based on the gold content.
It is not a coin it is a token. It is not even gold, they were produced in copper and brass. As for value, it basically has none other than as a...
I would think that there would have to be at least 1 dealer in the UK who would be willing to work with you so that you could submit to the Paris...
