Granted, but don't grade your coins using a magnifier. 95% of all grading should be done with the naked eye.
Correct. The graders never see a coin in anything but a flip. And sorry Endeavor, but there are scads of 7os ! With some coins, as many as 80-90%...
OK, but I'm curious, which Numimedia price is that you use ? They have about 6 different ones for every coin.
There is a difference between a 69 and a 70, just like there is a difference between a 66 and 67, 62 and 63, a 40 and 45, or any other 2...
Kevin - when you're done with guesses, please explain why you say you are lost.
Yeah sometimes. But just like all of the price guides the Numismedia values listed on Heritage are often off in either direction, too high or too...
Not true. If that was true there wouldn't be many 70s because the TPGs tell you to send coins in individual flips. And the vast majority of coins...
It's good for one group Geoff - the people selling the books and price guides.
Almost certainly more than it cost you to buy it. So why waste the money ? If having one in an NGC slab, and only in an NGC slab, means that much...
Hmmmm - I haven't sold or listed anything on ebay for 10 years, and I can see the past auction data.
But you are assuming that the values listed on Numismedia are accurate & realistic. Problem is they seldom are. Numismedia values are almost...
Problem is Geoff most folks don't have a clue what book even is. Book for any given coin is the price listed in the Grey Sheet, and only the price...
You not use either one, nor any of the others. All published price guides, print versions and those found on-line, are grossly inaccurate. The...
Stutter step when ya hit the enter key, or click post reply. Happens to everybody from time to time.
The people who have had success have it because they - 1 know how to grade, 2 they were very lucky. Those who do not have success don't know how...
Somewhere on this forum you will find a thread where the Secret Service itself is quoted as stating that it is perfectly legal to own counterfeit...
The plastic used in the slabs and holders is inert, so the plastic itself has no effect at all. The benefit of the slabs/holders is to reduce air...
It is dependent on the environment, but simply put it's a matter of air flow. The slab, or any of the hard plastic coin holders, by the very...
As said already, it depends on how the coins are stored. Under certain conditions a silver coin could turn black in just a few months. Or, it may...
And you must pay them $1 extra per coin to remove the coins from the original packaging.
