I wonder if the new grading service will result not in grade inflation, but deflation. It seems CAC would grade on the conservative side, and...
I started a Buffalo nickel set about 15 years ago and never got around to finishing it. I did buy a nice 13S Variety 2 a while back, so I may go...
That’s a nice looking coin. I’m personally afraid of buying 19th century and earlier Mexican coins raw and would recommend getting it into a...
I could barely see any wear if any, and was thinking a “market grade” of 62. I’m surprised it has stayed in that holder so long.
Instead of my typical impulse buying on eBay/GC/HA I made a trip to a local dealer during my lunch break yesterday and came back happy. [ATTACH]...

Qatar is not part of the UAE. Their dirham would be separate.
The “VF25” grade is what did it for me. It reminds me of a joke about 2 guys trying to tell each other’s horses apart. They found that one horse...

I’ve also been to the one in the arcade and it didn’t have the selection I was hoping for and it seemed pricey. But was fun to add that to my...
The price is perfectly understandable when we consider that there are probably a lot more than 15 collectors who want a 2001 Buffalo for every...
The classic head LC’s are known for their low quality copper, hence the high prices for ones with decent surfaces.
This lines up with what I have read about PCI. In fact, I saw one with a gold label in the same dealer’s case this one was in and remember...
I recently picked up this Morgan at an LCS where I paid a lot less than what an MS64 in a first world holder would be worth. I’m not much into...
I’ve been looking for a nice later date large cent for quite a while and finally decided to go all out and pull the trigger on this MS64. I...
