Perhaps younger collectors are more apt to buy online than go to shows? With a wife and two kids at home it would be hard for me to get to a show...
I'm 41 and have been collecting since I was in 2nd grade.
I guessed 58 because it seems to have a bit of rub. However, it doesn't otherwise have many marks. If it's uncirculated maybe it would even go 64?
Definitely a nice looking coin regardless of the details grade!
I guessed details due to the roughness. I finally got one of these polls right!
I would hope that the TPG's are less forgiving of scratches that were put there deliberately versus those that happened through normal handling?...
There is some roughness in the obverse fields at 12:00, maybe details?

I just got this one in the mail today. I picked it up on Ebay for under $200 which seems like a good price for a totally original note. It's my...
The new format shows just right on my iPhone. I like it!
Speaking from the point of view of a buyer, if I paid $5 or more for shipping I would feel ripped off if the item arrived in a regular stamped...
During a family vacation in 1984, when I was 10 years old, I visited the Buffalo Bill museum in Cody, Wyoming with my dad. Even at that age I was...
It's interesting how the toning makes a 90 degree angle. Providing that it is truly natural toning, I wonder what the coin was lying up against.
I would be okay with a Gettysburg even if it wasn't a 64 or 65. I also wouldn't pass up a Pan Pac, Lafayette or Isabella in XF/AU if it had...
Those are seriously cool! I thought that most Greek silver coins would cost a lot more than 100 euros, especially the Athenian Owl.
