I don't actually like the new generation PCGS slabs. They are too thick and don't fit nicely in NGC boxes anymore. I could care less about the...
Overdate on the 1831 if you didn't notice it. It's an 1/1831/1.
Tell her you bought them in honor of her birthday.
Well, not much you can do about that. Having said that, you're really talking about raw ancients eBay buyers who are not savvy enough to judge...
It doesn't matter if a coin has actually been cleaned. It only matters if looks like it has.
Well, it's an interesting point you bring up. You're saying buyers will be put off from making a purchase if any answer other than "likely...
It's impossible for eBay to keep staff on hand with expertise in every possible numismatic area just to review coin listings. That service would...
Then wait for it to get back in stock. It is what you will want to use for this coin. The coin has waited over 150 years. A week or two more won't...
It's only sold one place. The guy who runs this shop is in my local coin club. https://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/products/verdi-care.html

It sounds like this was your own mistake due to lack of organization. I fail to see how that is eBay's problem. You agreed to their terms of...
This is great advice. Strike characteristics vary enough at the same grade that you want to see the coin in hand.
I wouldn't buy a common date saint below a 65. Best looking for the price for a common date, go for a 65+/66.
The box is really nice though, so...
Very similar to what I've seen with Austro-Hungarian coins. I know some buyers by reputation in that market who have new money and will not lose a...
Good point. I hate that you can't see a pic of the slab with the TrueView. Hard to verify, and the coin could be upside-down for all you know.
1) Yes, but which one depends on the coin 2) It depends on the coin and the grade. If world, no. If US and it makes a price difference, and it's a...
Excellent advice. A TrueView is a glamour shot, and sometimes is way better than the coin typically will look in hand. I've bought coins where...
