When you all say "strike"...you mean relative to the die quality used, not in absolute terms ? If a particular die for a particular year or mint...
That's interesting....I get where you are coming from, but you mean to tell me that if you have 2 identical coins...and one has spectacular...
Agreed...but it wouldn't hurt to maybe have the 2nd grade listed....and best of all, a computerized photo record of the coin to prevent...
Should precious metals prices rise, I would expect that to be a panacea for the supply of bullion-tied coins like Saints and Morgans. But wheat...
This is going to take 1-2 minutes to do at least....will a TPG be willing to spend that amount of time per coin ?
