Originally you had to look them up on the website but lately they have the grade on the back of the holder. Below is one of each example: [ATTACH]...
Nice! I'm also curious if the slabs say MS 58 or if it's just a typo on the order page. @dwhiz did you use the CoinTalk special or just a normal...
https://www.osv.expert/FAQ.aspx#q8 What is a “Composite Grade”? The composite grade is not simply an average of the individual grades. This...
The OSV / Anacs sets have been around for about a decade now (started in 2016). I have never seen a details example nor a set with a condition...
The official clad proof sets (starting from 1968) are all in the hard plastic cases, which are inside a paper box. Like the example below of the...
I doubt PCGS or NGC buy them out. It's easier for each to just grade the items themselves. As far at the mint sets, you are thinking of OSV who...
They have waded into the arena. PCGS grades the Engelhard Prospectors now. [ATTACH]
The Proof sets can be fun if one likes to collect an example of each coin and not worry about the value (since most tend to go down from issue...
I believe they started a few years ago. There is a group of people that collect and pay larger premium for scarce vintage bars/rounds. So it makes...

Getting a gold bean is big! Congrats!
Very cool coin and a nice write-up! The video definitely helps show the true beauty of the coin! I had the same opinion. It could come back...
It is weird since the Franklins they bought weren't the most appealing coins either (they weren't damaged but were well circulated).
To add to the above comment, this was close to a month ago now, while prices were still increasing and before the recent drop. Plus they bought...
That is why I said the 85% sounded weird. What is unusual is that 3 different dealers all did not like the test results. However, each of them did...
Has anyone used the ICG Cointalk special recently? And can counterfeit coins get slabbed in the special ICG counterfeit holder as part of the...
With the premiums on many of these, they are still eons away from spot price matching the toner premium. :p
I'm in the camp of crack it if you will enjoy it more raw (in an album), especially when the cost is relatively low or the difference between...
While there was some luck involved, it seems like you have developed a skill set for picking out better items from these bins. So you were lucky...
Nice looking coin despite not being the pick you originally thought it was.
