But that's the point. People can call a coin anything they want, but unless you are the one who artificially toned the coin you cannot say with...
Yes.
Sad news indeed. He will be missed.
Then I would suggest to you that you have seen quite a few AT coins and didn't even know it. There are many, many AT coins out there that...
Yes it was, key word being was. ANACS has been sold numerous times over the years. And not only does today's company have new owners, they also...
Strange indeed. But they have both said in print that they would slab such coins whether they were legal to own or not.
Well maybe I was not quite clear either. The cotton bolls are not what I was talking about at all. I was talking about the grainy surface and...
Value's about $35 IMO, grade maybe F12.
Personally I would not grade it above a 65 because it lacks eye appeal to me. But I suspect PCGS said 66.
New of course. Based on my previous comments I thought that was obvious.
While there are examples of coins in any slab being crossed over to NGC or PCGS at the same grade, and sometimes even a better grade, what is...
Let them know what you'd like to see happen. For instance - you'd like to keep the coin but want it put in a new slab. I'd bet that's just what...
I'm not certain of anything. I can only comment on what I see which is what I have done. The thing is, what I see definitely makes me suspsicious....
Never heard of them- not that that means anything as I'm sure there are plenty of European sellers I've never heard of. Do they have a return...
Never expected the RICO apsect to fly anyway. But I am surprised the other aspects were dismissed. Was it because the judge deemed them not be...
But they are NOT up there with NGC and PCGS, at least the new ANACS certainly isn't. No, they are not as bad as SGS, but they (ANACS) are no...
This one bothers me somewhat as the design is different than others of the same type. If I may ask - where are you buying these ?
As I have mentioned numerous times in the past, many European sellers see no problem with a coin that has been harshly cleaned so it is often not...
The concept goes back to the basics of coin grading. That being that one of the first things judged to establish a coin's grade is planchet...
I don't think so, that's part of the design anyway and would be there if the die had been lapped or not. The way I took his comment was that...
Separate names with a comma.
