Farstaff - in fairness it must be said that the lawsuit you are talking about had absolutely nothing to do with grading coins or the grades...
2 - basically everybody. The change in grading standards was announced by the ANA and everybody followed suit. The only question is who...
Lucy they shouldn't charge you anything to tell you if the coins are Proofs or not. Now if you want them to give you an estimate of value, that...
I'm sorry to say that the information provided to you by Mr. and Mrs. Weiss is incorrect. I'm doubly sorry because I know the Weiss's and have for...
OK folks - you will ALL kindly mind your language and comments or I will have to start handing out infractions ! Only warning you'll get.
It's certainly possible, but no more so than what I suggested. Having somebody look at them in hand is the only way to know.
Believe it or not I have no animosity towards Paul, I've always liked the guy and I have a great deal of respect for him. I also believe that many...

Yeah, amazing aint it :D We have always agreed on a lot more than some might think from reading our comments Mike ;) You and I have always...
You may see logic in it but I certainly don't. The reason I don't see the logic is because the supposed increase in eye appeal is dependant on...
The garage part is a bad idea. You want to store all coins in a place with a realtively stable temperature - few and small temp changes in other...
Word of warning - this thread is just a whisker away from being closed. The political aspects of the subject are NOT open to discussion !
Yes, they have no choice if the coin is covered under their guarantee. A color qualifier ? No. But there is in some cases a qualifier. For...
It's not just you, everybody else sees it too. But that doesn't mean it isn't weak. Nickels are notorious for having a weak strike, particularly...
Not really. Single sided toning is commonly found among all types of toning. End of roll, roll, bag, textile, tab, album, - you can find examples...
