I'm sure PCGS did, too. I wouldn't worry too much about anything in good plastic. :)
Here's where it all started for me. Not my photo, and I'm not even sure of the exact date of the book, but an old Red Book at my school library...
Maybe so. Only the people at GSC and the buyer can really tell, due to the photos. OTOH, it sold for 63+ money, so if you think it sold for more...
1804 circulation strike dollar. Mint records indicate 19570 dollars were struck in 1804, but they were likely dated 1802 or 1803.
There was a guy years ago on eBay who was selling (I think) mostly Buffalo nickels and took the most beautiful photos of them. He gave the...
It's simple. They take pretty pictures. People like pretty pictures, so they fall for it.
Yeah, well, you did notice it didn't exactly sell for "Super PQ MS64+" money, either. They tried real hard to hide its flaws in the photography...
Cameo (especially a rather light cameo) on the devices does not necessarily imply the dies were proof dies, necessarily. It means the surfaces of...
It looks like you have a nice, sharply struck, normal 1922 Peace dollar. That coin has very little circulation wear, and certainly not enough to...
Yeah, half of what makes them cool to me is that the Omega Man was never identified or caught. It'd be kind of like owning a piece of a D. B....

Yeah, they are detectable, even if the Ω is removed, because they have certain diagnostic tool marks. They are still quite deceptive and will...
FYI, this is how we cleaned world-class, precision optics when I worked for a company that built such things. Of course, we also did this inside...
Nope, he doesn't. He's running an artisanal operation that produces ~200 pcs per issue. The US mint is running an industrial operation that...
I would avoid the q-tip business entirely and just do one soak in acetone for up to 24 hours. Then, a quick rinse in acetone and let the...
Depending on the relative value of what one stands to lose in the worst case, it can be rational to pay a ransom. The scenario doesn't really map...
I agree with @Mainebill. Your pictures are showing me a nice, original seated dollar. In hand you might see hairlines, in which case, maybe...
All different kinds were made. I've heard of eagles, double eagles, and $3 gold of various dates. There are probably more.
What kind of setup did you go to that would allow semi frequent removal of the coins yet still display them nicely?
Meh, technically so are the earlier Norfed rounds, but people sell them openly on eBay.
