Just as a note of interest, you might find an eyedropper safer to use if you prefer the spot method as opposed to dipping the entire coin.
They are sitting in vaults, just like the 100 million 2000 & 2001 Sackys that the mint still has, waiting to be called out by the Fed.
A point of clarification - while it is correct that the definition of an uncirculated coin is one that shows no wear, that does not mean that you...
I must say that I am really surprised that that coin was not net graded by ANACS. It has obviously been harhsly cleaned and generally just beat...
Well let's see. Officals from the US Mint read this forum, editors and writers of all the numismatic mags read this forum, I know of some police...
Cloud, as an example, if you were to compare the standards that PCGS uses with the ANA standards, you would find that in many cases the PCGS...

ANACS used to be tough - they are no longer.
I too would like to see a picture of the slab as I have some concerns about that coin. But to answer your question, I doubt that NGC or PCGS...
See post #17 - "Just for the sake of clarity, there is no TPG that uses technical grading - ever. NGC, PCGS, ANACS, ICG - every single one of them...

Your new pics wipe out my concern about the date possibly being altered I am happy to say. But I am sad to say that you did not get what you...
You are correct they do not assign a grade. But if the coin was submitted as a Proof, it is highly possible that they corrected the submission by...
Cody I would have to say that you are on the hook for this. You advertised and sold the coin as a Proof. But you did not deliver a Proof example...
No Jerome, that is not correct. Market grading and net grading are two different things. A net grade is the reduced grade assigned to a coin...
Darryl - perhaps you should read this. Click Here
Even if he called every bank the country I doubt he is going to find any US dollars, silver or otherwise - he lives in Canada.
It's not weird if you understand what causes haze to begin with - improper rinsing after washing by the mint. So it happens to some and not to others.
That can be accomplished without manipulating or editing the pic. You just need to take the pic at the correct angle so as to maximize the...
