Yeah, they're uncorrelated to the stock or bond markets, but they are far, far, from being immune to the swings of uncertain markets. There have...
Anybody that can read should know it Owle. You don't have to have ever submitted a coin to know it's true.
That is true of plastic buyers, but not of anyone else. And that is indeed a fact.
Do you realize Bugo that harshly cleaning coins was what almost every collector did to the coins in their collection until about 40 years ago ?...

Or worse. Not only can they argue, they still do. And it can be a double edged sword for that scenario. Unscrupulous dealers will dispute the...
Use the ring type and that problem disappears.
Both mean the same thing - goofing off, messing around.
NGC, ICG, and ANACS have never published a written set of grading standards. Of course PCGS has published their grading standards, but they don't...
