This is your best bet. Find local collectors to swap if you can find them.
So what is this saying? Some private company grades on their own rules, then puts out examples of their own rules. Well of course they will know...
I agree, but the obverse lacking any ear detail, couple with the fact the reverse showed a full strike, is why I said VG8. I agree G was harsh as...
Boy, talk about comparing apples and guacemole..... I would be attracted to the more numismatic item, the 82cc Morgan. I like the toning better...
Yep, that is my experience as well.
My only point sir would be you should learn how to grade a series, at least in the grade range you are thinking of buying, before you make a...
Whether he "accepts" returns or not, I would mail it to him with proof. I had to do that on a group lot once that the main coin was a fake. Ebay...
Yeah, I have never seen coins for sale in Thailand at local markets. Quite a few buddhist amulets, but never coins. Btw, go to a newstand and see...

Those are not authentic sir. I am not a collector of these per se, but I own a couple. Yours look like cheap knockoffs. The design is too...
True, but look at the scroll. The scroll is actually exceedingly a great strike, so I do not see any evidence of the weak strike sir. In my...
28 S is still a better date versus others. Reasonable hole filler for someone.
Ok I will be the jerk and call it a VG08. I appreciate the eye detail, but the ear is about obliterated. The rim fading on the reverse is not...
I have heard the same from others who knew the man. I had a chance to acquire a handwritten manuscript of his. Normally I would have jumped at...
That makes sense to me in the normal English language usage of the two terms. I do not know if there is a special numismatic definition of...
Yeah, I agree. When I was younger I found almost every date with missing initials, it seems grease naturally got stuck in that area.
Yeah, but some of us are just hoarders and are interested in everything. I will need to make sure I visit both areas just to make sure I am not...
Separate names with a comma.
