Even I think PCGS is respectable. But I am not one of those who will blindly accept their opinion on any coin regardless of what I think of it. It...
I dunno Duke, seems to me a bunny would be a huge improvement over a jar of Mayonnaise :D
Stop it ? No. But you can certainly slow it down. Point is, once it's reached that point is it worth the risk ? You really don't know how much...
But only to a plastic buyer ;)
Give the man a cigar ;) And there are those coins where if the toning is allowed to continue it will damage the coin to the point that...
No that was an entirely different thing. What you are thinking of was known as a box coin. Box coins were hollwed out on the inside and had tiny...
Seems you're both forgetting something - some coins should be dipped !
We have two scenarios - Scenario 1 - You walk into a coin shop, not looking for anything in particular but just looking. Some slabbed coins in...
Yeah, if you use some 80 grit sandpaper :rolleyes:
And why is that a bait and switch ? Bait and switch is when someone offers to sell you something, but when you go to buy they don't have it and...

Sometimes yes and sometimes no. Quality of an optical lens is usually based on the clarity of the image and whether or not the entire lens has the...
Buying an ICG coin is no different than buying a coin in any slab - you forget what the slab says and buy the coin based on its own merits or lack...
I guess it would depend on what the issues and excuses were as to whether or not that is a reason to not trust them. I'm not saying that you...
If it was real, maybe. But no serious collector would buy it even at melt.
I don't know about anybody else but I can't even see the coin in your pictures. I can barely make out the 13 on the one though and it would...
You would think so, but from what I am told even the TPG grading sets consist of 1 coin in each grade. That's no better than using a single...
Well I follow ANA standards pretty strictly, and I've yet to run across anybody, dealer or collector, who's as tough on grading as I am. Now no...
