That's something I have learned in recent years, GD, yup. As long as there's a Return Policy, I'm not afraid of getting burned. But without that...
Ever look at AU58's instead of low-60's coins ?
What's the rationale for that ? I can't think of another coin with that mintage number (and a high % of them accounted for and/or graded)...
AU-58's are about $15,000 give-or-take....figure a 30-40% discount for UNC. I have to say, how did all of you know that the black scuffs were...
In what way ?
I wonder if the coin presses changed much from 1907 up to the mid-1920's to acount for better strikes.
Also, the Capitol Building further right appears TOO well-struck. You can see the columns much easier there than in the rest of the building....
TrueView is that detailed shots of the coins excluding the slab (or before they were slabbed) that we see on HA and other sites ? ANY closeup,...
COIN IS A FAKE: I rarely issue such a pronouncement with such definitiveness, but I have no doubt and want to make sure that nobody else gets...
I'll listen to ANY position, even one different than mine, as long as it is based on reason, common sense, and facts. I WANT opposing views on...

GRADING BY EXPERTS: I'm sure folks who worked at NGC or PCGS have chimed in here at CT (or on other forums, or maybe some of you have talked to...
Brian, the stock market goes up 2/3rds of the time and goes down about 1/3rd of the time. Simple math shows that over time it goes up alot more...
Silver is just like every other PM and stocks and bonds and baseball cards and coins: you have super-bullish longs, and bearish shorts. :D So...
BitCoin is a "digital currency" that is hyper-volatile and is NOT possessing of the 3 traits that any (reserve) currency must have. Even bulls on...
But demand outstripped that figure.
What about bag marks/friction ?
I said 67 after a 15-20 second analysis....I really don't know this coin very well (OK...AT ALL !!:D ). But I didn't see many marks in the fields...
How can you have wear unless you circulate, and by definition if it's circulated it has to fall into AU or lower ? Do you have a link on PCGS...
Just curious...why do you say that the strike is "flawless" and the luster is "literally dripping off the coin." ? I don't necessarily disagree...
