I find PCGS slabs way easier to crack open. One good hammer blow to the side and it's grab and go. NGC slabs require several blows and that white...
Is the 1916 Standing Liberty quarter "obscene"? Yeah, 3 grand in G-4 is obscene in my book.
"Prehistory meets high technology as the Mint uses its first-ever glow-in-the-dark collector coin to shed a new light on the lost world of...
The 32-D is the most valuable 1932 Washington quarter, not the 32-S.
When I think of scumbags, I think of the guys who ran the bricks and mortar coin shop in my hometown when I was growing up.
I think the thing to remember is when you're trying to sell to a dealer, a cleaned coin is worth nothing more than melt. When that same dealer...
I enjoyed it personally. It's like having Don King in the house!
There's actually 3 in there if you look closely enough:D
I'm just curious. How do you know this? Ebay never specifically criticized ANACS' grading. What if it turns out that the only reason ANACS is on...
I'm surprised this part of the backstory hasn't gotten more play. Albanese isn't just a numismatist, he's a heavy-hitting businessman with...

The Coin News item sheds new light on this. Maybe the key reason ANACS failed is because they don't have online cert lookup. Maybe this will be a...
Yup, I'm sure it happens both ways. That's exactly my point. There isn't a huge demonstrable difference between the big 3--at least as I see it....
Well, I just sent a Morgan Dollar into ANACS that had been in an OGH and graded MS-64. It came back from ANACS a 63. I have other examples I could...
What's funny is that Ebay has rejected ANACS whereas Stack's, which actually vets the coins it sells and has been in numismatics for decades,...
I think a lot of bust halves have been cleaned harshly.
I agree, this smacks of restraint of trade. I suppose Ebay can do what it likes with its trading platform but absent any objective evidence that...
Just got this email: Dear ___, As coin collecting continues to grow and thrive on eBay, customers have told us time and again that knowing...
I would say VF on the half cent but the scratches bring it down to the price of G unfortunately. Six bucks for a nice 1802 LC? Was this auction...
