clad - it's been many years, but can you recall some of the discussions that you and I have been involved with in the past ? Not so much between...
Heritage only accepts consignments of $5000 and up. But they may offer to buy the coin outright, but only if you send it to them for inspection...
Understand your point, but any way you want to look at it, it does cost money if a new owner sends in a previously submitted coin, and not just...
I think the point he is making is in regard to coins previously looked at by CAC - and then change owners. So the new owner of the coin, not...
Yes that is true if you are talking about a book with a printing with thousands or even hundreds of thousands of copies. And or with books thay...
Proof = Proof, Proof is a method of manufacture, not a grade FDC = usually MS65 or above Uncirculated = usually MS6o to MS64 Good EF = EF45,...
