Well, ANACS said AU55 FH, a clean grade. I was actually expecting 58 details -- I was misinterpreting the texture of the walls on either side of...
.03 troy ounce is one gram. A scale with only one-gram resolution is going to be of limited use with coins, especially half dimes, dimes and...
If they all came from the same source, I'd see no reason to trust any of them. Weigh them accurately, and see whether they stick to a magnet. I'll...
I'm not sure what to recommend here, but the photos of the first coin are apparently a lot more flattering than those of the second coin.
It will depend on what you want to do, of course, but I'd recommend against the 20 x 0.001. Here's why: 1) Milligram resolution usually isn't...
Looks like this is about all the traffic we're going to get. I'll maybe bump again tomorrow afternoon, and then post the grade tomorrow evening.
LOL -- "this coin would be worth $160 problem-free, but since whizzing it took quite a bit of time and effort, it's worth at least $165." Even...
But if the educated buyer has to compete with uneducated buyers, either: Directly -- by bidding against them in a given venue, or Indirectly --...
I get what you're trying to say here, but I'm still hearing a faint echo of Yogi Berra -- "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded." Maybe...
By "entry point", do you mean "a point at which gold maintains a low price long enough for you to stock up, and then rises sharply"? If so, yes --...
There are quite a few people here who won't be able to participate in your poll because they started more than 20 years ago.
"Way below book price" is a bit of a stretch. The 1892-S is only a premium coin in high grades, and the 1890-CC is one of the lesser Carson City...
Not sure what you're getting at there, Rick, but you REALLY don't want to post images with identifiable financial-account information.
Going out on a limb there, are we? :)
He guessed higher than ANACS. :eek: I think the real lesson here is "photos can lie", but it does kinda make me wonder what NGC or PCGS would...
Okay, here's the last coin from my first ANACS submission (I've posted earlier threads for the gold, the Peace dollars, and the Barber halves)....
Well, the title of "Honorary ANACS Grader" goes to bkozak33, who nailed both coins with the first reply on the thread: 1901-S -- XF 40 details...
It does seem like the delays between things getting listed (or sold) and showing up in searches are getting longer and less predictable.
Hitting the bottle early today we are, hrm? :)
Thanks, everybody -- grades for these tomorrow evening, along with a new thread for the last coin from the batch, a Type 1 1917 SLQ.
