Only in the sense that both damage the value of the coin, and are things done by people to enhance the saleability of cons. AT is frequently used...
Assuming you mean coins, I'd just go to the major coin forums. But, as others have said, good images and happy customers are the best advertising...
Yeah, I like the war nickels better than the Barber dime. At least the bottom two show some luster. I'd want to see better, individual, well-lit...
I've seen this occasionally. I just assume they're doing something important and come back to the table if there's some reason for me to do so....
Depends on what that line from the bottom of the E to the top of the M is on the reverse. I don't think I'd bid MS money on it though because the...
Did you take the picture yourself? I think there's something wrong with the color saturation.
All three are mid/high AU, judging by the lack of luster in the photos. I'd say 55, 58, 58 P/D/S looks about right. All three have nice bands...
Is there a dealer list available for the Sacramento show? There's a possibility I may go.
You might consider just sending it to Rick Snow. Maybe you have a discovery piece on your hands?
Sorry, your pics don't allow us to determine wear from weakness of strike, and 96-O is notoriously weakly struck with poor luster. Even with good...
I missed this the first time around, but it looks like justice was served. To @-jeffB's comment about eye appeal, I'd say this piece has good eye...
I'm ok with it because nobody's been warned or banned, nor have any posts been removed for pointing out any of the flaws in the coin.
I'd say AG03 was about right for the reverse. It looks like they let the obverse carry the grade, as it's approaching VG detail. It looks like...
Not my kind of lot, but I hope you have fun searching through your treasure when it arrives. :)
I can't say if the TPGs would find it acceptable, or not, but I don't like it. This one, OTOH, I like.
Probably not, but it would certainly be easier to make the label look real if it were a real label. The TPGs certainly have some incentive to...
No way no how is an acetone bath going to take away any of the luster. The worst thing it will do is nothing. Just make sure you only soak it in...
Send it back in until it comes back at a lower grade? Your guess is as good as mine.
This doesn't seem to make sense to me, unless there are cases where grade X + CAC sells for more than grade X+1. I don't know of any such case....
I don't think I've ever returned anything, but I never buy coins off eBay from anyone without a return privilege. If nothing else, listing a...
