Likely. This happened several years ago to PCGS's discussion board members. E-mail addresses that were publicly available on profile pages were...
I think more important than a precise label is precise instructions as to how to sell various groups of coins in your collection.
It seems to be the design of a William I penny (1066-87).
A few times a year, I send in bulk orders of 100-200 Morgan and Peace dollars. While at least half of my submissions come back without mistakes,...
Actually, I mean the risk that the seller takes by cracking a coin out of a holder, thus making it only a raw coin that he might not be able to...
The scenario has to do with safeguarding against bypassing an existing certification. For slabbed coins, once you crack it out, the certification...
OK, I'll give an example. I buy an unslabbed coin with a certified, immutable photo. I want to rip of an eBay buyer, so I take a new photo,...

Mine.
I call it glue.
That doesn't matter. Hold him to a refund. If you don't, you're teaching him the value of being a con artist at age 10. Bring it up with the...
My ears are burning. That was a lot of holders ago. Today, I would label it S2, since I was waiting for the big IHC books to come out before...
If the die cracks on yours are more advanced than those illustrated, then the one used for the illustration was a slightly earlier die stage.
It looks like a match to the cracks on JOH-23 to me. You may have a slightly different die stage than the one that was illustrated. The JOH...
