from the investment standpoint, Bullion is highly speculative (just think if you had bought bullion a year ago. Where would you be now?) The only...
well, most people think of space as the empty parts between condensed matter (planets, moons, comets and other solid objects bigger than a Morgan...
A silver-clad Ike should weigh 24.59 gm, so its not a Silver Ike.
and originally in the core of a star about to go supernova.
No way would I call that an AG-3. While the obverse (ignoring the damage, which is not trivial) approaches an EAC grade of AG-3 [using the Grading...
The problem with just 4 grades is that there would be just 4 prices. In reality, there is a continuum of coin condition (excluding damage, bag...
Agreed, 1794 (obverse is the Head of '94). Since there are 67 varieties (including 11 NC's) of the 1794, you should get it attributed as some of...
For a good analysis of technical grading vs. market grading (at least for early copper), get a copy of...
The problem with the TPG's is that they market grade (grade seems to be related to perceived price). It has been years since TPG grades strictly...
FYI, this coin was EAC graded as a MS-63. look at http://www.eacs.org/GradingGuide/GradingGuide.html to explain EAC grading
just hope that wherever you spend it, they don't put it under a scanner and then tell you it's a counterfeit (or just because it doesn't look like...
According to the most recent Bill Noyes PennyPrices, a S268 in EAC G-5 condition (think PCGS or NCS VG) without any problems should sell for $25....
Very much agree with the last two columns! us EAC types also use G-5 (sometimes as a substitute for Good), F-15, VF-25, VF-35, and I've also seen G-6.
massively cleaned. Unless is it is a extremely rare Sheldon variety or incredibly cheap. I'd avoid it like the plague.
The Sheldon linear scale (Price = constant x grade) broke down within a few years of the publication of Early American Coppers. If we look at...
MS-63 primarily for bagmarks. I'm guessing PCGS graded it higher
I don't see any problem with adjusting brightness to (pardon the pun) reflect the coin's actual appearance. On the other hand, fooling around with...
bought three "Red Indian Cents" on eBay. photos weren't the greatest quality, but showed really nice spot on bright copper color. Coins arrived...
How's this?
down .95, but what units? and relative to what price? Also, (if I can go on a rant), copper is a commodity, not a precious metal (the Earth has...
