One that I can afford, that I like, and that fits in my collection. I will have to pay little more than it sold for at the heritage auction...
It says it's available, but just below that it's marked "sold". hmm?
I'm not a tone collector, but I'm curious as to how TPG's and CAC fit into this? In the older US coin market CAC has certainly had an impact on...
My only issue with Heritage is their no return policy. Dealers and Ebay (and of course dealers selling on Ebay) often allow returns on items in...
It's an interesting, and obviously subjective question. I've found that CAC coins will generally bring about one grade higher money than run of...
Pretty much the same situation as me except I have slightly more NGC than PCGS graded coins. I don't buy the holder and because I collect older,...
Did it! Thanks.
I enjoy the NGC registry and since I don't submit a lot of coins for grading I've kept my NGC membership in part because they allow PCGS as well...
When my collection was primarily raw coins I would spend $400 for silver and up to double the melt value for gold - if I liked the coin. Once I...
[ATTACH] 1840 quarter eagle, mintage less than 19,000, estimated survival of 80 coins total. R 8.2
I bought an 1891CC XF45 half eagle in an ICG holder for about $500 - back when gold was pretty high. Cracked it and sent it to NGC. It came back...
To Liberty's nose? This coin is a broad mill (not designated), NGC AU55 w CAC. So I assume the void in the poor thing's nose, being as sharp and...
An interesting statement. Question is, would you pay extra for a coin that was of CAC quality that you liked - a coin that would likely have...
Simply on an aesthetic basis, I prefer the latest NGC holders for any coin, but value-wise I recognize the slight preference & modest premium for...
I've been collecting for less than ten years, so I've had a lot to learn. I've learned a lot from which coins I've submitted to CAC that got...
I stopped buying raw coins a long time ago. Too difficult to resell and often disappointing when submitted (although not always). Some dealers...
Some backstory - yes the coin was originally in a secure PCGS slab. People who know more than I do looked at the coin in hand and universally...
Yeah, I think so too. Some of the dirt on the shield is still there - some seems to have been lost.
First of all, it's highly unusual to find any 1840 dollars with original surfaces, and even more unusual to find one that looks good - eye appeal...
PCGS removed the PCV residue from this coin and put it in a new holder with the same grade. The coin looks OK, but is pretty bright. Since it...
