Be Careful Of Stink Bids, Part 2: OK, I see a 1/2 ounce Mexican Libertad that is an MS69 Ultra Cameo. Very nice coin, guy is asking $950 for it....
Be Careful Of Stink Bids, Part 1: OK, I am up late nights studying the markets and doing my PT jobs and preparing resumes to send out so I often...
Why don't you tell us what coins specifically you would be sending to PCGS and give us an approximate grade/condition for the coins ?...
Was this the 1886 DMPL 64 you liked best even with the holder problem ? I only read where he said it was broken, can't see the damage to the...
I'm debating the merits of Tachito's 4.0 coin vs. that other 1886 which was not sold but is off-the-market. Has a problem with the PCGS holder...
Agreed...I think Mr.Bumps (2nd one) is not bad....but the 1st one I'm surprised it got a 64 back then. Maybe it had no toning back then ?...
Here's something weird: This coin sold for $705 a few years ago at Heritage:...
Another 1886 MS64 DMPL....in the OGH (actually the 1st PCGS holder, it's really not green). The seller wants a HUGE premium which I don't think...
Moose, my post a page or so back has a link to virtually ALL The PCGS holders since 1986 with all the variations. I think the guy also has one...
Any thoughts on that white streak and those concentrated micro-abrasions at 9 o'clock ? I haven't seen them before.
Great minds think alike, MD !! I did and have done so. Even offered an amount you suggested. How was it received ? Let's just say my offer...
Here's an 1886 MS64 DMPL: FMV is $450 in the PCGS Guide, but if that's high by 10-20% (lagged pricing?) then maybe the CAC compensates and it's...
That makes more sense. Congrats ! Interesting coin + slab.
That is a slab I've seen very rarely. No idea if the grade is under or overgraded. You paid $145 and got offers for $100 ??:wideyed:
Agreed.....said "64" before I scrolled down for comments. I don't LIKE the toning but didn't detract for that because I believe toning itself is...
1885 MS64 DMPL: I might call this a 63 only because of a 'deep' cut on the reverse near the Eagle and the toning (which I prefer not to see)....
Good to know....and as I buy fewer but more expensive coins I do alot of DD before buying. The fraud involving recent American Eagles was...
Is there a Basics or Primer on slab tampering somewhere on CT or the web ? Don't know anything about the basics, seems, what to look or feel...
If these slabs are somehow unopenable without destroying something that makes re-sealing them impossible, great. I knew the average Joe Schmoe...
Me, no. But what about Chinese counterfeiters looking to spend less money than on a coin press or whatever to sell counterfeits ? Open up a...
