55, possibly netted to 53 or even 50 due to the verdigris. I noticed the circulation rub right away.
When we compare TPG grading skills to GSC's "graders" we need to consider the first two initials of "TPG". The point is to have a third party...
I'm pretty sure it was minted with the grainy texture on the business strikes. I have a circulated example that is like this.
I said basically the same thing in a later post, using the word "unethical". The example you just gave is pretty sleazy and may constitute...
I would also add that those of us who buy online are relying on photos, which even if not deliberately "juiced" can be very unreliable. Therefore...
The existence of TPG's and the internet has given me a lot more control of my collecting. By buying coins that are slabbed I can enjoy them with...

It's quite a coincidence that this thread started today. I was just on the phone this morning with my insurance agent to take out a renter's...
I like yours better, the toning looks more even and natural. If a low 4 figure world coin can go back and forth that many times in a year, how...
I think that certain sectors of the numismatic market are more likely to be in a bubble than others. Slabbed modern NCLT coins, both US and...
So if a coin has a hole in it that covers 3 percent of the surface but has no other problems, do we then call it "97% problem free"? Or what...
Do the numbers in this chart, and in the OP, include coins in details holders or only those that received a numerical grade? This would be...
I still have a 1999 Czech proof set that I bought at a coin shop in Prague. It was probably the most interesting coin shop I've even been in,...
Depending on striking weakness I could see it going AU. Regardless I like the nice chocolate brown color!
