I hate rattlers. They're ugly and technologically far inferior to today's slabs. Most of the ones that are floating around at shows are not...
The rims and the reverse can be used for grading the details, as well as authentication.
I just put a handful of dollars up, low starting bids, very reasonable BINs, a few better 1878 7TF varieties. Linky

Don't take this the wrong way, but, no, I don't think you have the light right, and I'm not referring to the color. Always try to light the...

Classics can stand on their own without a special label. Special hoards and collections have gotten special labels, but collectors don't seem to...
As I've said elsewhere, albeit somewhat facetiously, the only question is which TPG will be first. I've also said several times, that while I...
