Yes they really do honor their guarantee. So does NGC. I think you mean to say over-graded - and you can do it if you want to. I know of...
Joe it's been happening for well over 50 years - it's nothing new. But for some reason people always tend to remember the few exceptions and...
To be quite honest with you, I never, ever, recommend that anyone try to grade coins by comparing them to a picture in a book. Use the...

No, it has not Ruben. If you check my post in this thread - HERE - you will see why I say that.
Doesn't matter what the face value is. In a 1 lb. bag you will get approx 3/4 of a pound of silver regardless of the face value. What you need...
