Tough call. I'd say the coins are equal in grade, but the PCI coin has one advantage - it is far less likely to ever turn in the slab.
Well then, it would be much better, if when you make comments like this - - if you would specify that you are only talking about ancients. It...
If you are talking about referenced by me - yes. And now you'll want to know if there have been others - again yes. Some of them filed by the same...
Sort of figured that. But then I also sort of figured that you'd know my personal opinion on the question anyway. Rather think just about anybody...
As is typical, nobody won. It was settled out of court. But everybody involved in that suit spent a whole lot of money. And that is entirely my point.

Dru comparing ancients to other coins is like comparing apples to watermelons. Yes, you are 100% correct - it does no harm, to the vast majority...
No, I'm not kidding you. I have a heckuva time trying to capture those coins. Never could do as well as you did. If I could, I'd have a hundred...

My estiamted grade is based entirely on the amount of wear the coin shows. It really has little detail remaining. I don't have a picture...
The last one is either a variation (silver) on the Venetian ducat or a fake of a gold version. You're not gonna find that in Krause. I can't...
You did pretty good with those pics - much better than I ever managed :thumb:
Before you ever respond to such an ad again, read the fine print. I have never, ever, seen such an ad where they did not say - dates of our...
Then they have changed their policy again for that has not always been the case. [IMG]
So have I. Problem is they were put there by the TPG. I have yet to even hear of a slab that has successfully been opened and the coin inside...
Pretty sure it has already been decided since the bill was already signed into law.
Appreciate the thought and effort, but those petitions were turned in back in 2003.
Do I have a link for it ? No, but it is related in several numismatic books and there are people on this forum who have seen with their own eyes....
