If you're going to buy "sealed" sets, buy them by the box. You can find sealed boxes of sets where the original mailing tape is still sealing the...
I'm not a dealer. I just buy and sell on eBay. Lots of high grade foreign. I've also been doing bulk grading (100+ of the same coin) to get the...
I agree 100%. Which is why most of my submissions go to NGC. But, what do I know. I only submitted a few thousand coins this year.
I count 6 graded by ANACS and tey are all Net Graded - meaning they are problem coins, but uncirculated. Any unc coin with aproblem will be graded...
Don't forget to factor in the added costs of multiple resubmissions to get the correct grade.
It looks like dip residue.
Actually, I'm focusing on full taler coins and I usually shy away from the samller denominations, but the look of this one just blew me away. This...

All 4 of the major services will compensate you if they have overgraded a coin. However, don't expect to get paid if it is a minor overgrade. In...
I can't help you with what is written on it, but it's from Zanzibar and dated AH1299. The denomination is a Pysa. Somewhat easy to find, but they...
None of this stuff. Buy it in the aftermarket if you must own it. More often than not the price of mint products goes down.
Compensation? Well, the grading services usually do charge for this regrade.
I know this is an old post, but... I submitted a coin twice to NGC. Both times it was raw and graded AU55. I felt the coin was uncirculated. I...
To get a bunch of Kool-Aid drinkers to jump up and scream how great they are, they're the best, no need to change, we love you all, etc. It's a...
