So you want a significant portion of the TPG graded Walkers to reside in AU58 holders? At some point Doug, you are going to have to stop...
I actually use both the E-Bay upload an post an embedded photo in my description. If I didn't have a store, I would probably use more embedded...
Doug, I agree with that policy if buying from a new dealer. But the other thing you have preached for years is to buy coins from a dealer that...
Both buyers and sellers still leave feedback. The only change that took place was that sellers can no longer leave negative feedback. If you buy...
Here is my story. I listed a toned MS65 Morgan Dollar with a $500 BIN or Best Offer. A guy with a feedback of 5 messages me instead of...
I am not sure what some of you are looking at but this 1950-D Jefferson is a solid MS65 5FS by PCGS standards and has an outside chance at MS66...
