I agree. If an old copper cent still shows a lot of red in an old (10+ years) holder then I feel pretty confident that it will retain that color...
I got lucky with an 1860 IHC I purchased in a second generation green PCGS holder. It was graded MS64 but the main reason why I bought it was...
There once was a coin from Nantucket ...
Now that I'm pushing 70 the word "lifetime" has more significant meaning. Right now I'm still working on upgrading some dates in my #8 NGC IHC...
I always loved the half and large set series but was overwhelmed by all of the varieties. The one year that was on my bucket list was 1793. I...
The IHC series has been my grand finale. At one time was heavily into the Lincoln and 3CN series.
Only the 1859 and some of the 1860's had the "pointed" bust. Otherwise, the rest of the IHC series had the rounded bust. The 1860 pointed bust...
I should have my son mail my dead body to PCGS or NGC to get slabbed. With my artificial knee I should get a details grade.
I'm proud to be banned from buying from them.
Straight grade? 53: yes, 47: no. I'd send both in anyway. I've had several similar raw dimes and half dimes I've had graded and got mixed...
I've sold all of my raw coins to my local coin shop. In the end he gave me a fair price for the thousands of items and I used the proceeds to...
Glad to hear from you! Every time I get on CT I'm hoping to read something from you to know that you are still with us.
I didn't notice the Wisconsin part even though I live there. Maybe I could get an "in state" discount.
I've probably sold in excess of 500 coins through GC the past 10 years and wouldn't consider using anyone else to sell my NGC and PCGS certified...
No, they issued extra large cents!
If anyone ever wanted to own this 1877 IHC it's really a big deal!...
Years ago I was banned from bidding anything from them; yes, there were a few PCGS graded coins they listed that I wanted to bid on later on. I...
Nice coins. Way above my pay grade.
I think that you are on the right track. I used to own the Flynn book on 3CN varieties; the 1865 has a number of varieties. If you are into the...
I don't like the new bust design. It looks like a cheesy token; not Chucky Cheese.
