Sometimes you're looking for a slabbed coin in a specific grade to complete a registry set. Personally, I'm looking for some MS-63 Ikes to...
I agree with this. Quality is the coin's technical merits, strike, marks, etc. Eye appeal is how the person "sees" the coin and whether it...
I need a few PCGS graded Ikes to complete a couple registry sets I'm working on. I'm finding them hard to come by probably because of their grade...
This is a good thread. Most people don't think about these types of things until it's too late, or after its too late when family is squabbling...
Interesting idea, and I think it's a neat one, albeit probably a bit on the expensive side. I don't think it's illegal to own the counterfeit,...
Sometimes depends on what it is you are looking for and I can see it from that angle, but not regularly. For the most part I agree, seems a lot...
Do a happy dance then start on the next box. Same here as Medoraman, I fill up a box or complete a set it goes on the shelf and the next one is...
Dealers will send in hundreds of coins under bulk submission, hoping for a number of high grades on which they will make back their fees and their...
There are plenty reasons to have coins graded other than just telling whether it's counterfeit or resale. There are also plenty of reasons to not...
Wow, nice Ike, and certainly a nice picture. Ya done good... :)
My opinion, but I don't think the fact that it's a monster box, opened or not, will raise or lower the price in the future, unless you sell it...
Lee, that's awesome... I've read up the story behind that. Here's to hoping that maybe there's some truth to that nice number someday... :)...
I was going to ask you about the restoration part of it. Would be nice to remove the haze and see what happens. Yes, ANACS calls it only that,...
I found one!!! I took a chance on a bad pic eBay auction, but I had a hoping suspicion it was. I felt like Ralphie on Christmas morning...
Yes there are junk Morgans (at least that's what I consider them) as well as Peace dollars, I try to pick them up when I see them for a "good"...
Indeed, should certainly post it in there... looks like a nice coin with really bad pics. Also if you didn't know, one other indicator is the...
All depends on the actual coin... is it toned? You'll get a higher premium on that if it's nice. I'd say you've got at least $300+ going for...
I believe it is. I've been slowly trying to build a collection of these as well, and if I saw this I would have bought it thinking it was. Don't...
I "slab" all coins I want to protect long-term from further damage or further deterioration from toning. I collect a lot of toned coins and most...
He's trying to scare you. Don't fall for it. If he was concerned about doing the right thing, he'd have offered immediately to refund your money...
