They wouldn't. Looking at his original pics it sure looks like it was harshly cleaned before he ever sent it.
Seeing as how the coin looks to have extensive finning it sure wasn't wasn't because of a lack of pressure. My guess is that coin is a struck...
Personally, I agree with you. But you'd apparently be surprised at what the TPGs will or won't slab today.
But they are not illegal to sell. The only illegality comes about IF the buyer uses them as currency. That's a big if. It is also the big scary...
Then I'll be extremely surprised if it doesn't get at least a 66.
What was done with them before would have nothing to do with it. It is only what you do with them that matters. The silver round did not break...
You are not mistaken.
Well, to partly answer your question - there are plenty of coins designated as FB in PCGS slabs that would never make it with NGC. The reason for...
I'll probably regret this, seems I always do. But anyone who thinks that inflation is somehow caused by fiat currency needs to read a little...
Even ANACS and ICG would not certify that coin. As said already, it is severely corroded. Jason - for your knowledge going forward. Any time...
Absolutely not ! You could buy all of the coins individually for a fraction of that cost.
I see no strike through on this coin. Or anything that even resembles one. Color me confused.
Actually, there's no way to say one way or the other. It could easily be either. Crack that coin out and submit it today, and the odds are...
You're allowed, others may disagree also. But that is a chocolate and vanilla choice. A coin can have severe rim rings, like this one. It can...
Another thing to keep in mind is that NGC and PCGS are not equal when it comes to assigning the FB designation, or any other special designation...
That works, sometimes. Not really. Some of the older coins are over-priced and some of the modern coins are underpriced too. Best bet is...
My only point was that you bought a problem coin. No idea what you paid for it, but it should have been priced like those I linked to.
Here are links to 5, 1842 dollars, all problem coins and ranging from VF to AU that sold from between $230 and $322 in the last 6 months....
No, the problem is that the pricing is wrong before they even write it down ! Let alone when the book is published. The pricing in the Red...
To help get over that problem you first have to realize that no two types of coins have the same kind of luster. What I mean by that is this -...
Separate names with a comma.
