I don't believe NGC does a very good job explaining the grading tiers. I see 5 coin minimum over and over. Many of them look very expensive....
Why don't more people use this or are they unaware? That's pretty nice of them to allow that. I guess one less advantage to being an ANA member...
GDJ: Not to take away from your good write up there, but I believe the TPGs do use at least 5x loupes to grade. I've read it and seen them using...
I think 'some' here tend to try to read into things way too much and pick apart the nicest coins, always lowering the grade in their mind. If I...
Why are the mint's prices so high? What do they do with their profits? I would like to get a 2008 1/2 oz. gold eagle. The mint sells them for...
This is easy. If you had people bidding on them, contact them on the side and make deals. I've done this several times and it saved me money....
People like that which are involved in that gathering are the reason the elections have deteriorated into the total joke they are and what we're...

Check out the link I gave a thumbs up to, several posts up from this one. Pages that hold slabs in an album.
I have a few as well. This one is really clean. It screamed MS-64 to me when I looked at it. Honestly. I figured it would be given better than...
I have a subscription. I skimmed through that article and noticed and thought the same thing. Was surprised this forum didn't make it on there as...
NGC Star Desgination (Inconsistent or Misunderstood) I found this post on "NGC Star Desgination (Inconsistent or Misunderstood)" interesting and...
Man, now you're getting serious! :) I would have to say the one in the upper right corner and the second one down on the left got the stars....
Well, you know how it works. If 9 of the graders in the room said that # 2 should get a star and the 10th guy just had a fight with his...
They look clean. A lot of feathers on the eagle's breast, showing that it has not been in circulation long. Nothing stands out to me. BU...
I didn't cheat! I looked at them and came up with my opinion before scrolling down, as I always try to do and I would have to say # 2 got it as...
I'm new there too and have been checking them out the last couple months. I normally just buy on ebay like you. One thing I don't care for on...
Have you studied counterfeits enough, across the board to be able to spot one? I have, some, and I'd say 9 out of 10 people here, including...
