I received mine on Thursday. I can't believe they didn't protect the medal! I am beginning to collect comments about the quality of mint items and...
Every one of them is questionable. Look for a thread that I started about NGC. Each grader does 1000 coins a day. Some people here think that it...
You know, Dan, I was debating where to post the original. Steve
I know it has nothing to do with focus. I set the camera for manual focus when doing extreme closeups. Resolution has everything to do with...
I think the ANA needs to get involved. They need to draft some sort of complaint letter for numismatists to sign and send to their Congressmen and...

Has anyone read about the SMS money-making scheme at NGC?
They are unreliable and here is why. I spoke with one of their graders yesterday. After Mark Salzberg, their president, has an opportunity to...
With the quality of today's home PCs and printers, it is easy to create "fresh" mint envelopes. I would never buy any "unopened" or "unsearched"...
Has anyone heard how far behind NGC REALLY is? Their guidelines say 11 business days, their website says 23 business days :confused: , and they...
