That was what is was originally intended to mean. From that it has become, "The only coins worth buying have the PCGS-CAC approval. Everything...
I think that the main motivation for giving CAC approval only to NGC and PCGS coins is marketing. It is pretty established in a large variety of...
I evaluate CAC based the coins upon which it places stickers. As I have said many times before, CAC gets it right over 95% of the time, but there...
Put it in a Heritage auction and find out what can happen. There are people who suffer from “green bean-ittus” who will view this as the buying...
It’s an 1881-S, which comes nice. This one is exceptionally nice. The question is are you ready to spend a 5 figure price for a super common date...
In case you missed it, the 1868 Proof set sold for $63,000, including the buyers’ fee. :woot: I guess the whole is worth more than the sum of the...
You are correct. I missed it. There is a tiny “$100” on the reverse which makes this gold round a coin.
Juiced photo for sure. I agree that you should make the coin look good in the photo if it looks good in person. Some pictures can make a good...
Prior to 1990.
They are worth the money if you are buying and selling really expensive material. You can't get the full value for a good coin if it is "raw"...
This was a $200+ coin, many moons ago. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Post some photos if you want opinions.
Unfortunately, you picture didn't work. As for the rattle holders, I hate them when they rattle. I broke a coin out of the rattle holder years...
That is not a "Reverse Proof" label; it's a "Specimen" label.
I don't think that it's a Reverse Proof. It looks more like a Matte Proof. Here's an odd ball coin from 1998. It's the 1998-S Matte Proof that...
Here is another example of how "grade-flation" has worked. This 1861 double eagle is in an AU-58 holder. I bought this coin raw many years ago and...
It has been dipped, and I would give it an AU-55 based on my "old time grading." I imagine that it's in an AU-58 or MS-61 or 62 holder. And the...
This is an "almost really nice" Flowing Hair Half Dollar. Much beyond this grade, EF-45, and these coins get to be very pricey. [ATTACH] The...
I guess the counterfeiting laws are treated like the shop lifting laws in San Francisco. If you steal less than $1,000, it's okay. :punch:
It's a shame he's not distributing counterfeit currency. Maybe then the authorities would take some interest in what he's doing.
