OK - but I find it a bit hard to imagine since gold was illegal to own then and no bank would have taken it.
You did. But in a different group. Those being compared to each other were no more than 6 months apart.
Yup. Again agree. Don't agree that it should be that way though. Yeah but they shouldn't. NGC uses the exact same equipment. But people...
It looks like album toning to me. But that big gouge in the forehead should keep it from being slabbed. Pretty coin though.
There is one thing that does bother me about some of the coins that CAC does sticker. You know how the TPG will bump coins up a grade because of...
It depends on the series, on some PCGS is tougher and others NGC is tougher. And yes I agree, always have agreed, that as a general rule the...
No, they just don't assign the FBL designation to Proofs. But that doesn't mean that all of them do have full bell lines. The pic isn't the best,...

Number 1 is far and away the best coin of the lot, but it is of course a completely different date than the other two - if that matters to you.
No they don't, that is a myth. But let me explain. The only time that a slabbed coin will sell for more than a raw coin is when you are selling to...
Well, even at $1.30/$100 you're paying roughly 3 times as much as you would through the ANA program. And there is no adjusting, just pick you...
The second hardest thing there is to learn in this hobby is patience. It is also the second most valuable thing you can learn. For patience wil...
Yes you can. In fact many of the good dealers you could deal with directly are those very same folks you deal with on ebay. Only by dealing with...
