That's a new one on me. I would say it's a lamination, but I've never seen a lamination with the devices struck up on top of it :confused:...
Knowing that coins oxidize - don't you find it equally hard to imagine that somehow all those millions of white Morgans, and other silver coins,...
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder - what you may think ugly, others may find beautiful. But I do understand your point - there is some toning I...
For whatever it's worth Ruben - I've never submitted a single coin to be graded. If I want one in a slab - I buy one already in a slab. I agree...
The Frankie is likely worth about $5 - $7 - it's not worth having it graded.
Swiss 2 franc - about $2 1958 shilling - about 25 cents Sierra Leone 1/2 cent - about 25 cents 1963 French 20 centimes - less than a dime
Try the 2nd pic again - the link doesn't work.
It can be - that's where they all come from after all. But you better be good at grading the coins yourself before you send them in - or you'll...
The problem with coin pics is - is it an honest pic, does it really represent what the coin would look like in hand ? All it takes to change the...

You obviously haven't been to Utah :D devil made me say that :rolleyes: Agreed ;)
Easier way to solve the problem - buy the coins in NGC slabs. The newer ones are airtight ;)
Well jeff you just made a great example of the biggest problem I have with PCGS - they are very inconsistent. Don't get me wrong - none of the...
But don't you see - it doesn't matter what the dealers charge, it's what collectors will pay that matters. Say a dealer has 15 sets one week...
That's a bit excessive for bag marks - almost looks like the coin has been dropped on the ground, concrete or asphalt, and stepped on. It's a...
I would agree with buying a certified coin, just make sure it is certified by NGC, PCGS, ANACS or ICG. Then I would suggest you determine what...
It's a bit more than a can of worms - it's the whole worm farm !! It's pretty hard to sell something when you don't know anything about it. And...
There are many pics already posted - just search the Error Forum for "struck through grease" - 23 threads here alone. There are more in various...
