There is no preferential treatment given by the TPGs to those who submit a lot of coins, none. If a given coin is sent in by the guy who submits a...
Except for one thing, those are not milk spots on that Frankie.
Because they were an anomaly. No other coin besides Morgans ever sat in bags, in mint vaults, undisturbed for a 100 years. For that matter very...
OK, think and follow me here. You have a freshly minted coin, let's say a Morgan. The coin is most definitely mint state. The coin is put away and...
It can often seem like it doesn't make any sense when all you have to look at are pictures. But if you could sit down with somebody who knows...
But told by whom ? Perhaps they just aren't aware that it can be done, or, they don't want to believe that it can be done, or, they don't want...

My opinion, for what it's worth - AU 62 63 Damaged/scratched 63
Pretty easy to find out. Instead of measuring the reeding parallel to the coin, measure it perpendicular to the coin so the calipers fit in...
That one was merely last of several others that I had carried in my pocket over the years. The time each was carried varied from 2 years to 7...
Well thank you for the compliment. But my explanation and expansion on your comments was really more intended for other readers that have not been...
Not sure what you mean by their marketing, but I agree, they are not market grading. Quite some time ago I called what they are doing value...
Yes, but it is important to remember that when there are die polish lines, which are raised on a coin, in between each of those die polish lines,...
Yes, of course they can. They are in fact. Correct. But - that is assuming that all other grading criteria are equal on each one. If however the...
Also, it is important to understand something else. On a finished coin you can have die polish lines and die scratch lines, and lines from harsh...
