PR-66, Cam I will add the Proofs are almost impossible to grade from photos. When I was building my set old the 1936-42 Proof sets, I gave up on...
Finding a 1909-S-VDB was the stuff of Aespot's Fables in the 1960s. The only way it’s going to happen is if some kid gets into his parents’ raw...
I have said that the 1907 High Relief St. Gaudens $20 gold is the most expensive common coin in the world. Here is a piece I wrote some time ago...
I stand corrected. I think that the images were made on a flat bed scanner which created the colors that show on the reverse through the plastic.
Bad photos on the Internet are the stock and trade of those who sell counterfeits on-line. You are buying a true "pig in a poke."
You should check out the serial numbers of slabbed coins before you purchase them. NGC has pictures of a very large number of the coins they have...
Look closer. There is a dark spot on the lower right obverse of the fake. The reverse toning or color is completely different. The fake obviously...
Here's my 1912-S Liberty Nickel. It's graded MS-65. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Here are the NGC inages from the NGC site. [IMG] [IMG]
The font is wrong on the slab label. It’s bogus, no doubt. It has still not been taken down.
I don’t like the coin in the OP at all. If it’s real, it’s been cleaned and recolored the reverse is really bad on that account. The date does not...
If you are young, you will probably get a 1912-S nickel. The Unc. one you posted is much nicer than my Mint State piece. Did you know that the...
Ms. Liberty’s cheek is smooth enough to be an MS-64, but there is too much clatter in the left field. Given the toning on the reverse, I’m...
I had a smaller example of this. One of my items was sent to the wrong town. It had to be returned to the central distribution office which...
I will buy PCGS or NGC depending on whether or not I like the coin. The grading number on the slab is of secondary importance. Both companies get...
You coin as seen more places than you have probably ever visited on vacation. I understand your frustration.
I tried on two occasions to get interested in a set of American Silver Eagles and lost interest. I never intended to include the Proofs which...
This one is graded MS-64. It's now worth about a third of what I paid for it. These coins were very expensive in MS-65 and better. It's why the...
This is "the look" of a lightly used Indian Cent with the desirable color. [ATTACH]
The $2,900 gold price has thrown a high floor under every gold coin. They are not cheap, but the circulated, common date U.S. gold coins are...
