:rolleyes: - wishful thinking on your part spock
Bit of confusion on that part - you have it backwards. NGC requires both upper and lower lines for the FBL designation and PCGS only requires the...
I cannot think of a single example where it has happened - ever.
One other word of warning that has been mentioned in an off-hand way but not explicitly. There are a ton, and I mean a TON - of Lincolns in both...
Probably the most undetectable methods involve the exposure of the coins to exotic and common gases for varying lengths of time. Done properly,...
The first Proof coin made was in Great Britain in 1652 if memory serves - it was a half crown.
I would agree with Conder, but perhaps a bit of clarification is in order. Proofs, since their inception were intended to be Cameo (there were...
At any coin show I attend there never seems to be any shortage of them, recently or otherwise. Availability has always remained pretty much...
Congrats on the new addition :thumb:
While I will normally allow discussion on the subject of the phrase - In God We Trust - the video linked to steps a bit over the line of what we...
Don't break it up, these sets are being broken up all the time and there are few complete sets left. They are not quite as popular as they were a...

And respect returned - as I said previously, with the asking price, it seems to me that the coin has been discounted appropriately, which...
My opinion hasn't changed, would not pay 65 money for that coin. If you could get it for 64 money - yeah.
It's basically caused by the die wearing out. Excessive flow lines in the surface of the die are created as the die wears out. Sometimes they are...
That is indeed unusual, never seen anything like it. I would suggest you submit that coin to a TPG to have it properly attibuted as to cause.
Have to agree with LostDutcman, it appears that either the coin was in a bezel or it is a fake and that is a casting seam. You need to have the...
We need to take the discussion of a game to the GD forum. But I'm ready ;)
I rather doubt that he is, few are. I know far more about these coins than most dealers, have just about every book there is written about them,...
Well, all I can tell you is that I believe that the coin in the ND collection is a fake. Can I prove it to you ? No, all I can do is tell you the...
