Sparrow, I couldn't think of a tactful way to say it so I expressed my opinion bluntly. However, I did preface it with an apology before doing...
Nobody else wants to give their two cents. I know we have more Jefferson Nickel collectors than this.
My self slabbing grading service will be POS (Paul's Oldtime Service). We will encapsulate your coin with only one of the following grades:...
Although my opinions about the value of TPG's differs from yours, this is still one of the best posts I have read in months and I have nominated...
Is that thing supposed to explain the super slow shipping. I would send it back with a note that says "I appreciate your gesture of sending me a...
Here is link to one in auction on E-Bay....
Here is a photo of what they look like.
The term rattler refers to the slab. They are early (might be 1st) generation PCGS holders that were made of hard plastic. The coins were not...
You gotta admit though that the CAC sticker is one really attractive sticker. It is shaped like a football, cool font, changes colors, bright...
Only one way to settle this. Buy a whole bunch of rattlers and send em off to the CAC. If >50% sticker, I win.
I did. I will have to put some thought into it and probably won't have time to do it until Monday or Tuesday.
Silver coins are not white. Especially AU silver coins. The coin should appear greyish color in the photo with white highlights where luster is...
I won't dispute that at all, but my coin is also an MS67. If an MS67 is allowed to have that much weakness, what can an MS63 have. I understand...
There are still some left in older collections which is probably the only hope this collector has of finding that 1879-CC. And just because the...
Ain't that the truth.
The OP has made it pretty clear that he is only going to collect rattler holder coins. Under those constraints, any 1879-CC he can find in a...
How in the world did I miss this thread. I agree completely that strike variations are pronounced from date to date for this series. It is...
Little Dog, My advice is to simply try to find an 1879-CC rattler. If you put a grade restriction in there, you search may be eternal. My guess...
The 1879-CC Morgan Dollar is a rare coin in any grade. You will find it slabbed in just about every condition. The OP was asking about a VF...
This was exactly the reason why I stated the holder should be changed. Not everyone will differentiate DGS from PCI because of the holder. IMO,...
Separate names with a comma.
