Jan 1, 2001 was the start of the 21st Century. It's not a matter of opinion, it's a matter of fact. NOW, the public media and hype surrounding...
I like this one the best: [IMG]
That's possible...their images are decent. Again though, super small throughput compared to places like Heritage and GC. Also, I hate to judge...
Not all the numbers are used. It has a functional 19 increments -- which is actually one LESS than the MS60-70 scale has when you account for the...
IT came as a 3 coin set -- Silver, Copper, and Goldine...no gold or platinum that I know of.
Yes, and PCGS isn't an auction house either. You pay for the images from PCGS -- thus they can take the time to give you glamour shots. I...
A fantasy 1910-dated crown struck in 2000 and featuring the St. George pattern design of AG Wyon on the reverse. The obverse portrait is by...
Your point is taken -- but now give me an actual comparable auction house with better images than GC? Images from any of the other people you...
That's exactly what any "new" system will effectively accomplish. It will confuse the market with a different numbering system, but substantively...
Very nice example of the Davis-3(Dalton-3) Staffordshire token. Rushbury and Woolley also issued two different varieties of silver shilling...
CGS (the British fledgling certification company) has been using a 100 point scale for some time. Of course, they don't use all of the numbers...
Talk is cheap. I seriously doubt the truth of this statement without photographic evidence.
I rarely if ever see NGC bumping technical numeric grades because of toning. PCGS, though, not only does it but openly admits and promotes it as...
I think Great Collections' images are actually probably among the best in the auction business. They are certainly better than the "scan-like"...
The star is not a part of the technical grade. It is a designation for eye appeal. It has nothing to do with the numerical grade.
Grades of 69 and 70 are not eligible for a plus, so actually only 20 levels of MS. ;) Nonetheless, fret not as the plus (+) will likely be...
A little more than 2 years ago a seller on eBay posted two of the same type of medal. One was a BIN for $39, and the other was an auction...
Chris, wonderful medal! It's also Doug's (@GDJMSP ) birth year! ;)
Depending on your interest in photography and your willingness to spend time learning, I'd be happy to "walk you through" the process to get...
The "love affair" with toned coins in the USA is a rather recent phenomenon. I have toned coins that have been purchased from Europe, and others...
