Note that I didn't even factor seller's fees into my calculation, only buyer's premium -- and while I understand that big sellers can negotiate to...
Yes, the final prices we were discussing included the buyer premium. So, no, the final prices would not be $1500+ for these coins, although there...

Wouldn't surprise me. I think that lot was basically a non-numismatic dealer throwing up his hands and tossing all his "none of the above" into a...
That is interesting. I'm not sure how to interpret those discrete numbers ($1292 and $1351), nor the ones that went for $1233 -- after factoring...
When you figure out how to attach physical objects to CoinTalk posts for in-hand examinations, you get right back to us, OK?
I think the basic point here is that it's nearly impossible for anyone to say for sure that a coin is authentic based solely on a single...
I would've chosen 2, but I understand why they chose 1.
So, when you say "it's not a hole", I assume you mean that you can't see through it. If I get some time, I'll try putting a nail through a penny...
That depends entirely on how much they paid for the coin, of course. Heirs, thieves, and poor planners are still regularly selling gold to dealers...
Checking eBay completed auctions, 63s start around $1300, which is 15% above today's spot, and you need to be quite patient to find them there at...
I'll go out on a limb and say that you can't actually tell which is best from the photos provided. To distinguish a better from a worse 64, you'd...
I posted this series a couple of years back on another problem-coin thread, but botched the images. Let's try again here. I got a cull lot on...
Will you offer a conservation service for problem slabs as well? Or should we just continue to use POLY-CARE on them ourselves? ;)
Can I make an exclusive arrangement with your business to provide "Plastic Assurance Professionals" beans as a fifth-party confirmation of the...
Thanks for starting a separate thread; it'll be easier to keep track of answers here. It's unusual to see that kind of feature passing over both...
Even $10 or $20 to send it to ANACS or ICG would at least get it authenticated. That's my big worry with small gold.
Holed, damaged... edge filed?
Given that APMEX, Provident and the like are sort of the last word in sight-unseen, bottom-line-driven dealers, it seems to me than buying graded...
Oh, no! You'll destroy the original extruder luster! Then your slab will only ever be able to get a "Details" grade... I mean, it'll be a Details...
