Wrong ? Why, just because PCGS says so ? Personally I agree with Mike. I will say this, your pics are truly excellent ! They are so good in...
And this all happened back in the '80s ??
That has been the warning about toned coins issued to collectors for far longer than I have been alive.
It looks to be pretty close to that.
Just Google search for American Indian coins and you should find more like these -...
No they're not. Again that is the plastic insert in the slab covering up the tips of the stars. That part is your opinion and you are...
You'll find similar items sold by the various Indian tribes all the time. Value is pretty much up in the air because it depends solely on those...
Surpisingly enough shipping cartons can add value to things. But they need to be kept in nearly pristine condition. And it's usually many, many...

OK, let me start by asking what I consider to be the most obvious question. And that is precisely why most people never even think of it - because...
The ANA standards specifically state that no copper coin can be graded above 66 unless the coin is original mint red.
No, I'm telling you that a coin can have a plainly visible fingerprint on it and PCGS will still grade it a 66. So rather obviously such a coin...
Not true. You just repeat the same steps. Think of it this way, if they could pick and choose and make gold of any fineness they wanted, down...
You can submit the coin under the guarantee but I doubt it will do any good. There are more than a few coins with fingerprints in PCGS holders....
