Still way off topic on that but certain parts of the country are more expensive than others.
"As for the price . . . $2050 was very fair for a 61 in my book." The last one I sold, same coin, date, grade, that was maybe not quite as nice...
You could have a water damaged coin which would be on you; in my case the holder was just scratched up, I don't know why. Dealers have been known...
I could give you a specific example. I had to hold PCGS' feet to the fire and let other collectors know. There was nothing wrong with the slab...
Good idea, but you have to find a CAC submitter, and it will cost $12.50, plus shipping to and from which could easily run $25 more. Next time...
NGC is better on this in my experience than PCGS who will sometimes with scratched up but not damaged holders tell the submitter that the coin has...
And you also have sellers that use special photography, but which may show the coin as better than when the customer gets it, and that also does...
You have quite a few grades attached to your raw listings ToughCoins: http://stores.ebay.com/ToughCOINS?_trksid=p2047675.l2563 I have had...
"Unfortunately, that's the way it is. Believe it or not, my costs to do a crown is pretty high. The profit margin for a crown is 10%...maybe 15%...

I just disagree with you on the Seated half, the coin has a ton of eye appeal a little brushiness in the fields. The stigmatization of good coins...
On grading standards it comes down to money. How much do people pay for their raw coins, how much do they pay for the slabbed coins? Is it...
David Alexander from Heritage Auctions gave a talk at our coin club a few months back. I showed him a $20 gold coin that NGC had called Unc....
"Improperly cleaned" in judgment of NGC; a little handling issues in the fields is not enough to issue a scarlet letter. It is why ICG makes...
You have sharp eyes. NGC, no grade "AU details", IMO trangressive against numismatics, unsaleable as such. ICG AU58. It sold quickly!
o_O Their inventory is posted on their site!
If you are going to be there into Saturday you should get them back. I hear lots of submissions to PCGS were not returned to dealers and...
Very nice! [IMG] [IMG] OWLE [IMG]
Compare to a Seated half I sold: [IMG] [IMG] IMO properly graded though eye appeal was higher.
A decent looking coin with good detail, but unlikely it will ever get a number unless you found someone who knew how to get it to. Here's a...
