Rob, this is spot on. The world is far too large to know every country and their respective current and historical coinage. NGC and PCGS know US...
Nobody is claiming that ICG and ANACS are a "good bet" over NGC and PCGS. We're just saying that for now we're collecting the coins, and we'll...
Many of your replies make me debate starting to classify you as a dealer first, and collector second. You talk about "moving" things, selling for...
Yawn. :troll: I never saw your "three-part test" - probably because you were (and are soon to return to being) on ignore. I think you might be...

You're not going to find mintages for 99%+ of Conder tokens.
Dalton & Hamer list this token as Middlesex DH-1042. There are three edge varieties, and their "scarcities" are listed below. The scarcity...
The parallel scratches in the field above the plow make me think it might have an old cleaning. It looks AU, but you may get a Details grade for...
If I were replying to you I would have quoted you. I was making a general (sarcastic) comment in the thread. It’s 2020 - if you function at all...
When do we get to the part about how to make our tin-foil hats?
I'm at a 6.5 on the Morgan. I'd give the Washington posted by @Pickin and Grinin a 5.3. Quite exceptional for the issue.
It's the 79th Anniversary of Pearl Harbor - Not exactly a "special" anniversary. I see no reason why the US Mint should be restricted from...
