OK - how about those - [IMG] I honestly don't know what to tell you. But all of my Krause catalogs, 18th century, 19th century and...
A scan tends to wash out the luster on a coin and that can make it look dull. But on the other hand a scan does an excellent job of showing minor...
The good old days are right now - at least they will be tomorrow. That's the thing about time, it's all relative. No matter what happens as time...
Probably not much unless it is an extreme rotation.
PCGS grades about 100, 000 coins a month - 1.2 million a year. NGC grades about 150,000 coins a month - 1.5 million a year. The graders get what...
It often takes a bit for them to update the database. They do not update it continuosly or automatically.
The oldest edition Krause I have is a 2002 - and it shows the KM #s for US coins. I believe that all editions do. I think you just aren't looking...

It was a joke chocho - that's why the :D :D As you should know by now, I have a lot to learn when it comes to errors. The coin you pictured...
Would you believe that the whole bag got ran over by a truck ? :D :D I'm sure you'll have actual useful opinions before long chocho ;)
There has been a lot of interest in VAMs lately so I thought I would post this link - VAM Newsletter Hope you find it interesting and helpful ;)
Sometimes it does, but as a general rule it doesn't. About the only time it takes longer than a few seconds to grade a coin is when there is some...
hllywood - The coin you pictured would grade VF and it has been very harshly cleaned. Please, do me a favor for your own sake. Before you go...
Based on the pics I'd say the coin would grade Very Fine at best and probably just Fine. Here's a link to a recent sale on ebay for the same coin...
