For anybody who is curious - I spoke with PCGS customer service and they told me that coins can be submitted in their original Mint packaging....
Modern fee is $16. $5 more if you want their TrueView high resolution photos. Return shipping starts at $27 per order (not per coin). $10...
Looking for advice -- My NBA coins arrived and I'm planning on sending out to PCGS tomorrow. For rounded coins, should I still place them in...
In my (limited) experience, I've found that many 1913 type 1 nickels often share two characteristics: relatively weak obverse strikes and slightly...
Beauty of a nickel! I think it's right on the cusp of 63, but not quite there. I'm guessing MS62+. Is the reverse on your nickel rotated ~10-15°?
The baseball one was also the first curved US coin - it was original. This is the 3rd iteration; same old, same old..
@baseball21 where are you able to find up-to-date sales figures?
Boy, I really overshot it with my MS62 :D The lighting played me... Edit - reminded me of this older SNL sketch:...

Welcome to CT! This appears to have been treated with something; likely a bath in acid or something similar.
I'm not a huge fan of the coin, but I did order a few last Thursday. Got 1 of each: proof $1, unc $1, proof 50C, unc 50C, enhanced unc 50C, and...
I agree - it does look proof; especially the "square" rim on the reverse. But if I'm not mistaken, proof Mercury dimes were only struck...
Whoa... that's quite a neat dime!! I'd imagine it's around MS65FB, though the way the light is hitting the reverse, this could be incorrect.
I, too, have the 2014 set and the 2018 set. And I agree; the Kennedy half looks great in reverse proof. I also am very fond of how the reverse...
Hmm perhaps we're talking about slightly different things. My understanding is (and I could be wrong) the ASE with the WTC label were located in...
Picked up this neat early 20th century 5 ruble gold piece a few weeks back; came back from PCGS today. ICG MS66 crossed over to MS65 - which I'm...
I see it as "to each their own." Some folks like the ancient coins; some like type coins; some gold; others specific TPGs. Other folks like...
They'll both come back as regular 2020-(W). The only way to get that special label is for ASE bullion shipped directly from US mint to PCGS by...
I can't argue that fact; technically you're right. Some what related - I'd read somewhere that back in '65-'67 to make up for the shortage of...
Got an email offer I found funny enough to share; great example of buying the label/holder instead of buying the coin -- Identical 2020 ASE, both...
