There was a lot more involved when NGC made that decision. I, for one, spent many hours building my registry with photographs and write-ups that...
People asked me why I didn’t stand in line in Baltimore to buy the reverse Proof American Silver Eagle. “You could have made over $1,000! My...
But he’s sending it via First Class Postage! :wacky:
I call True View photos “glamour shots.” Do you remember those photos from your high school yearbook? A poor girl with acne who had a “pizza face”...
I bought the State Quarter Christmas Ornaments for Delaware (my home state) and Massachusetts (my wife's home state) cira 2000 at a Hallmark...
What you have are corrosion spots, and there is not much you can do with them. In some cases you can push the stuff off with a toothpick, but...
That is a very nice MS-63. The cheek is fairly smooth, but there are a few too many little ticks, and the luster is not strong, which it typical...
I have used Eagle holders for years, but they are not perfect. Years ago the pages were too brittle and fell apart when you took the coins out of...
I would say MS-63, but no higher. An MS-65 would need to have fewer marks and a lot more luster.

It looks like somebody tried to lift the spot on the reverse. In the old days, that used to be called "improperly cleaned" and got a body bag. Now...
When you post a coin on the registry, you can also post two pictures and a write-up about each coin. I won "best presented set" the first time for...
In addition to that, wasted money. All you get for being #1 most times is a citation on the site and a piece of paper. I did get a plaque one year...
The Chinese have counterfeited the 1958 Wheat Cent. I can't think of anything that would more inane to counterfeit than that. They have a value of...
Most of the early coins that the TPGs have graded at the low numbers are atrocious. I think that AG-3 is bit low for this dime. These coins were...
I would give it a net grade of Good. Some design aspects have VG sharpness, but minor defects lower the grade. Having said that it would be a...
Finding attractive examples of 1811 half cent varieties is hard. The R-4 one is really tough. When I was collecting this series, in the early...
Most collectors want these coins in MS-64 and better. This is especially true in this weak market where prices are low. This coin will never be...
1846 is a wicked tough date in this series. I am sorry to say this, but the date does not look right on that one. There should not be a crosslet...
This Trade Dollar is graded MS-63. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
