It's finally entered into the system on Day 5 of "Prepped" status! That means that Tuesday (D-Day) is Day 1 of the turnaround time. I'm guessing...
This one came in the mail today and it's sitting in an acetone bath. 10.08 grams, approx. 27mm, and non-magnetic (specs seem to fall w/in...
I think that it's a niche sort of deal. People who like them, buy them without really considering it as damage. That said, from what I've seen...
27.00 grams, 39mm, and non-magnetic. ------------------------------------------------- I called the TPGs and here's what they say. NGC: Details...
This is just a thought... if GSC tends to get their coins from problem-slabbed or perhaps problem-free under-graded or under-valued business...
The black capital holder looks great on gold! Probably looks good on other non-gold coins, too, so I should check that out.
Sand blasting with glass beads and aluminum oxide for modern proofs.
Ok thanks for clearing that up for me. Now that I think about it, a frosty device is a result of the bead blasted device (on Moderns), so it's...
I edited my post to be more clear. I need some clarification from you folks on this whole red vs. red-brown designation.
Given a hypothetical MS copper cent with red fields, what if the devices have super frosty surfaces, making it essentially a thick white color...

What percentage of the obverse would you say is Red? That calculation is only supposed to look at just the fields, right? In that case, I see...
Does ANACS slab coins with stains / corrosion or whatever problems that NGC / PCGS typically don't grade, or are they good about that kind of...
The Columbian half has a ton of cartwheel luster, which is difficult for me to photograph but it's most definitely there in high amounts. The...
Here's what ANACS gave it: [Spoiler] If after seeing it in-person I still want to submit it, then I'll probably put it in an acetone bath...
Yeah, I hope they actually look at it lol. My submission includes, among other research items, a copy of the original article from 1893, in which...
[Spoiler]
I guess my order is quite a bit more complex. Today is Day 4 of the prepped time, so the business day after (Monday) would be the latest day it...
I think I should send these off for my next submission, to either PCGS or NGC, along with some of my world coins that are still on their way. But...
Below is an 1896 A French Indochina Piastre I recently purchased, and it's got some strong details, particularly in the face area. But, obviously...
