Yup, that’s it.
That is very true
And the result: I compared this coin with many other MS-64s, 65s, and 66s in the dealer’s case, and this contended well with the 65s. The marks...
This reminds me of another Morgan toner GTG where the GreatCollections images looked vastly different from the TrueViews.
I don’t think he’s talking about pulling from circulation. Just putting together a set of circulated coins
The pictures aren’t big enough to tell...
Completely forgot about Roosevelt dimes
Franklin halves and Jefferson nickels. The 1932 D/S quarters have come down in value A LOT (can be had for less than $50 each in G-F grades), so...
I just bought these 90% silver webbing and planchet fragments from Bill Fivaz. The planchet and hole sizes are dime-sized. What is most...
I don’t believe this coin is a fake. Here’s a fake no-motto seated half I own. The dies for these were computer-generated and probably carved...
When @ToughCOINS made his comment about being dipped, I looked at the TVs again and agreed with his assessment. But still not seeing 63
I’m at 63 obverse and 65 reverse. I’d bet the luster looks fantastic. My personal grade is 63, but since this is a GTG, I guessed 64
Ever wonder why those coins cost $300+1% of value to grade? They take much, MUCH longer than the average 5-7 seconds with them. This is to ensure...
By “high-end” do you mean “high-grade” or “high-value”?
For the exact same coin, it will bring less in an NGC holder than a PCGS holder in the exact same grade. How is that remotely fair or healthy for...
I think he’s commenting on how the focus is on the holder/sticker instead of the coins themselves.
$25 each: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] $20 with a nearly-bisecting obverse die crack: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] And these were $25 each: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I don’t think anyone here is arguing that the TPGs have not had a positive impact in our hobby. I still see the practices you mention at shows:...
Unattributed S-51 I found at a show. I sold this one before I had even finished writing the check to the dealer. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I’ve seen slugs that were barely identifiable get holdered. There’s no what this coin can be anything other than a 1794 cent. You got jipped.
