I wasn't sure, I contacted Howard myself and suggested he contact you just in case. I wish you luck with the new book :thumb:
Jim - love the hat :thumb:
Know it for a fact ? Not in a scientific way no, based on experience I do. The last time we talked about this the thing that sparked the...
Edward - have you contacted Howard Spindel ? He'd probably be more than willing to help out.
Everybody always seems to think that you have to spend a fortune slabbing coins. Well, I've owned thousands of slabbed coins and never spent 1...
As a general rule gold circulated very little if at all - ever. During the Civil War, gold and silver coins were hoarded - paper money is what...
I see there is a difference in the pics, but I chalked that up to the pics themselves. Coin's don't lose cameo, it's either there or it's not. The...
That is true to an extant Toad. However, while you can never tell for sure from a pic that a coin is genuine - there are cases where you can tell...

It's not a philosophical difference, it's a company policy difference. ANACS, at least they used to, no idea if they still do, would grade and...
Is it fair to say that - no, not in my opinion. All the graders from ANACS went to ICG and all the graders from ICG went to ANACS. But there is...
There are only two I would say that matter - NGC & PCGS. There is only one I would use, were I to want use one - NGC. Basically ANACS and ICG...
My grade VF35. Abe's face is pretty beat up, ear is worn almost flat. Nice reverse though.
Happy Birthday Peter ! :high5: Hey - are you as old as me yet ? :D
Ruben do you realize what the mechanics of grading at a TPG are ? NGC for example grades 150,000 coins a month. Now that isn't 30 days as you...
