Considering that there are many graders at NGC, it can't be completely what Mark Salzberg likes, right? Or do his likes translate to every grader?...
I think it's basically impossible to go into it objectively when eye appeal is a determining factor. There will always be at least some tendency...
I over thought it. Looking up examples (including those links) confirms it is a proof.
65 ....the picture makes me wonder a bit, as I see no blemishes (I could actually see the grade being even higher). I also considered it being a...
Floor is open...
This last one ended up being much closer than I anticipated as we had a tie. Just like with the last round, the person posting it had to break the...
Summary: Rd. 1: 1955-S MS 64 1c (NO Star) --> Should it star? -->Yes: 2 vs No: 11 Rd. 2: 1885-O MS 65 $1 (NO Star) —>Should it star? —> Yes: 4 vs...
It depends on what standards we are using. If we use the “evolving” standards and combine them with market grading, almost no coins are overgraded...
The coin I was talking about was a 62 and it sounds like @Publius2 agrees with the grade at 62.
I think it went for quite a bit, but also not as crazy as some think. The doily certainly pushes up the price in this case. I'll guess $585...
Agreed! I have been against returns for a while but the latest policies just confirm no returns for me.
I’m not an expert in that topic, but my best guess is that you would still pay capital gains tax. Your cost basis would just be cost plus sales...
It started last year and is quickly spreading to more states. Look up the Wayfair decision and you'll see why....
The one bright side of this policy that I can think of is that it will hurt some of the flippers who pre-sell items and then cancel once they...
The $1 sale would baffle me more because who cancels a $1 purchase? At least with the $500 sale it is a significant amount and one can somewhat...
@GoldFinger1969 and others: congrats on all the nice purchases!
The 1839 Half Dollar from @Publius2 and the Hawaii Commem from @C-B-D are both very nice coins for the MS 62 grade. Is there anything that either...
That would be my strategy, but eBay has virtually eliminated that possibility. The buyer can just open a case and receive all the money back. An...
Great coin! And if one were to have just one commemorative in PL as a type example, you picked the perfect example. It's a design that I like as...
I'm surprised by the results as well. I was certain that someone would have overpaid for the PCGS with CAC combo even with the lower grade. I was...
