I've found that sometimes their times seem to be off for when live bidding begins/ends, and other friends of mine have noticed this as well. Due...
I've never been to Baltimore on a Thursday. How is it for the public? Worthwhile or better to stick to Friday? I do a lot of vest-pocket at this...
I go to every Baltimore show since it's only about 90 minutes door-to-door for me, but I only go Friday (mainly to buy and for club meetings) and...
I don't like either set of photos, but I'd go with the first one if the lighting was increased.
Here's a new pickup for my Austro-Hungarian Korona date set (1892-1916). This is a common date of which I have examples up to MS66, however, fully...
Here's a new pickup from the Whitman Expo for my Hungarian type set (1848-1948). Hungary 10 Krajczar 1848B KM-421 (Kingdom) NGC MS63 23.6mm, AR...
This ended up being a better than average show for me. I sold all the slabbed material I brought to sell, and most of the raw material, and I...
I wasn't implying that at all. I didn't mention it because the coin has enough apparent luster traces in the protected areas and neutral eye...
In the new photo, the obverse definitely reminds me of one of the quarters in my collection: [ATTACH] I suppose not everyone will like this kind...
While there are certainly bargain basement graders that are disreputable and should be avoided for submissions, there is no single TPG that is...
I'll be there Friday at 10 as well.
I think the eye appeal is rather neutral considering the series and grade. It'd have to be pretty ugly to warrant bumping it down from an XF to a...
That CoinFacts example is definitely an XF40 though. This is one of the reasons I don't trust PCGS with grading this series and always cross any I...
Yes I agree, it got the bump due to the eye appeal. The circulation cameo is lovely. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk
The obverse is a solid 30 and the reverse is a nice 35. A VF35 is a generous but not completely unreasonable grade, though I would say it's really...
I do, but the pics of that coin aren't great. I haven't gotten around to shooting it properly yet. Edit: Found them. The pics are good enough to...
That's a tough variety and a condition rarity. I'd expect to pay a significant premium for an XF. Post up some photos. Also, if you want to meet...
A while back I cherry picked a significant capped bust quarter variety, an 1834 B-5, in AU. This is the scarcest of three varieties with the...
I understand, but for this series I have seen nicer dipped coins with a blast white look and they do not grade. Ones with unattractive or terminal...
No chance of this coin grading if you dip it blast white.
