Well that's my point, you aren't talking about the real world. And in all honesty, your idea wouldn't work in the real world. The cost would be...
Your idea is OK but the reasoning is faulty. What you are not thinking about is all the surface area that is created by the flow lines of an unc...
It's not a philosophical difference, it's a company policy difference. ANACS, at least they used to, no idea if they still do, would grade and...
Is it fair to say that - no, not in my opinion. All the graders from ANACS went to ICG and all the graders from ICG went to ANACS. But there is...
There are only two I would say that matter - NGC & PCGS. There is only one I would use, were I to want use one - NGC. Basically ANACS and ICG...
My grade VF35. Abe's face is pretty beat up, ear is worn almost flat. Nice reverse though.
Happy Birthday Peter ! :high5: Hey - are you as old as me yet ? :D
Ruben do you realize what the mechanics of grading at a TPG are ? NGC for example grades 150,000 coins a month. Now that isn't 30 days as you...
You don;t have to study it to recognize what Conder and I are saying - you just have to read it.
It is measurable, all you have to do is look at the coins to see the truth of it. But it isn't measurable in the way you mean. And that's because...
Yes they really do honor their guarantee. So does NGC. I think you mean to say over-graded - and you can do it if you want to. I know of...
Joe it's been happening for well over 50 years - it's nothing new. But for some reason people always tend to remember the few exceptions and...
To be quite honest with you, I never, ever, recommend that anyone try to grade coins by comparing them to a picture in a book. Use the...
I'm not really sure I understand your question, a non cameo, or cameo Proof will never retain the value that a Deep/Ultra Cameo Proof does.
Conder I have said pretty much the same thing for as long as I have known you, since around 2000, 2001. Maybe I haven't said in quite the same way...
The ones that circulated the most were the smaller denominations. But as a general rule, coins that circulated were much like those of today -...
Just as long as you realize Bruce that it is not my intention to shoot down anybody's coin for any reason. I just call 'em as I see 'em.
Ruben, c'mon now. You're too intelligent for this. You know as well as I do that there is no validation and never will be any validation for the...
Correct.
In my honest opinion - yes, you are mistaken. You have to remember - everyone (the graders) who used to work for ICG now works for ANACS. And the...
Separate names with a comma.
