It's like the lowball poker game. Worst hand wins. Except it has to grade cleanly. Which means no problems and the date/mm has to be ascertained....
Yes, please do it. I can almost guarantee the TPG turnaround will be in record time. Lance.
I've owned Porsches for 40 years so I'm going to try to help you a little. I'm guessing by your forum name you are an enthusiast. The rest of you,...
I have found that it is bad practice to submit a loser coin along with nice ones you hope grade well. If you get my drift. Lance.
Why does it surprise you that records of coining continental currency are so incomplete? Many records of early coins are flimsy for lots of...
I'm not afraid of big words but simple language gets the point across better. Nonetheless, I am missing something. Isn't this a $25 coin as it is...
I like the Eagles but I think the Broncos are a better team. Lance.
Certainly. The coins I paid way too much for will some day be paid way too much for by the next guy. I'm not sure how far you have to go to...

ICG is a little erratic but older coins are often properly graded. I've crossed a lot to PCGS. They are a little optimistic with moderns. Lance.
Looks like the RPM. I don't think they're common but neither are they scarce. Regardless, it's kinda cool. The MPD is a popular variety. Can you...

Not mine, I just took the pictures. Way out of my price range but it is such a pretty capped half I thought I'd share it. A very nice variety too!...
I'm no one special when it comes to red copper collections. But if you'd like to see images of a couple hundred red cents many decades old let me...
Paranoia is a delusion. Your 2c piece has been red for 140+ years, why will it change now unless it's been doctored or stored improperly? Lance.
I doubt it's a copy of a real one. Too much looks wrong, like the lettering. It's not a 143, in any case. The letters in the scroll don't line up...
Separate names with a comma.
