No apologies needed as I wasn't upset by any of the comments; they were perfectly reasonable. As far as determining a premium, it sometimes is...
MS 61...it looks technically unc with a lot of hits/marks around the King. I think it's in the 60 to 62 range so I went right in the middle at 61...
There is one dealer who I learned about from a PCGS forum thread who posts almost daily updates about his buy/sell prices. I was surprised to see...
This color is usually market acceptable and grades at the TPGs. The ones that are in questionable color holders are more of an unnatural...

Agree with this!
Why double? Well this coin was first graded by PCGS and then by CACG. I picked it up in the CACG slab (and did not submit either time). So what...
As far as I know, yes. I followed the instructions and was charged the CoinTalk special of $10 per US coin (plus return shipping). Edit: the...
Yes about 5 weeks. I recall Skip mentioning on another thread that they have become busier so it is longer than before but still very reasonable...
Nice finds! And quite interesting to see that much variety at a small show!
