Howdy Ken - Welcome to the Forum !! There are many who think the same thing you do about coins slabbed by PCGS. Problem is - there are very...
Think that's bad ? You should see my reaction when I find a gold coin from the 15th century that you don't even see for sale once in a 3 yr period...
Guys n gals - I gotta make a comment about shipping charges. The majority of all ebay auctions, at least the ones I ever look at, all have the...
Robert - A search of Heritage provides a list of twelve 1925-S MS66 FB Mercury dimes that have sold from Feb. 1993 to date. Four of them were...
The following is a response I made to the same question on another forum. I thought it might help out here as well. That's a good question...
What he said ;) In my opinion - Littleton rediculously overprices and overgrades their coins. They survive by selling coins to inexperienced...

Ya know - you may want to contact your local Police Dept. and ask if there have been any coin collection robberies recently. I could...
Yes - error & variety coins are graded just like any other coin.
Is the coin actually thicker on one side than it is on the other ? If not - then I would guess that it was struck slightly off center resulting in...
