You make a good point that coins with ugly toning should be penalized with respect to grade. But I will tell you why I have trouble caring. I am...
I understand your point, but you can't phrase it that way. What you showed is a coin with MS65 surfaces, luster, and strike but with very poor...
So the coin is an NGC graded GSA 1884-CC MS65 right? Numismedia Wholesale: $440 Numismedia Retail: $550 In answer to your question, the coin...
The grading services already set the prices, each one has a published price guide. What more do you want?
I almost got you, poke poke, lol!
You are calling me defensive?:stop: In your last post you resorted to an ad hominem attack on my intelligence and a condescending post about what...

I wanted to say MS64, but the photos make it look so lackluster that I have to believe it has a dipped washed out look and deserves a net grade,...
Aren't most of the other silver reactions achieved in aqueous solutions?
The most common theory is that the minting process creates areas of localized strain hardening around the stars and lettering and that at some...
First, let me say that I agree with you but David posted a bunch of coins a few pages back asking which were AT and which were NT. One of the...
