Except that it's not two scales. It doesnt go from 58 to another independently numbered scale. It goes up to 60, etc. Try talking to anyone who...
When you have to explain to someone why a coin with a lower grade is a nicer and more valuable coin than one with a significantly higher grade,...
It is more than likely really a 64. Penalizing a coin from a 67 all the way down to a 58 for having just the slightest touch of barely noticable...
This is a nice set. I see what you're trying to do here, but I think you're selling yourself short by skipping other major small note types,...
Halves give the best rate of return because of the 40%ers that nobody seems to know about. After that, I would say banknotes. But don't order...
And here are some highlights from my Hungarian sets for this decade: 1900KB AR 5 Korona (1900-1906) "Younger Bust" KM-488 NGC MS65 [ATTACH]...
I'm game. Here are some highlights from my Austrian Corona date set: 1900 AR Corona (1892-1907) KM-2804 NGC MS65 [ATTACH] 1901 AR Corona...
A die crack is not an error, but PCGS will take your money just the same.
RSFSR coins are 1921-1923, USSR is 1923-1991. You have a very early USSR poltinnik. The equivalent RSFSR coin would be an AR 50 Kopecks...
That's true, and some countries prefer (or hold on equal footing) other TPGs as well (like ICG for Canada). It is also somewhat nuanced for US...
For US coins only. The exact opposite is true for world coins.
Well the 1990-1995 issues had the security strip and micro printing. Those series were a different type than the earlier similar design after 1966.
This is a great type! The 1892-1906 type has a younger bust, and then there's an 1896 commemorative. Such a great denomination.
A new pickup for my Austro-Hungarian prooflike set: Hungary 1905KB AU 20 Korona KM-486 (1892-1915) NGC MS63★ PL Admittedly I paid a bit too much...
They've cleared out the convention center and cleaned it, so it's ready to go. The only question is if the delta variant stays away from MD and...
It is possible for an improperly cleaned coin to straight grade if you give it enough circulation wear to remove the improperly cleaned surfaces,...
The problem with commemoratives is trying to be a completionist, not the commemoratives themselves. I find they are great if you only collect the...
Acetone won't hurt it, but that is tougher to remove from copper-nickel without damage. For silver proofs with haze, I would use MS70.
I don't care about the packaging if I'm removing it. If it's damaging the coins, it's just a type of trash. I twist the case back and forth until...
Acetone, or possibly other solvents to remove any contaminants that may be damaging the surfaces.
