It's been shown time and time again that it is impossible for a new or existing grading company to break into the "top two." That's why John...
The 1839-O Quarter Eagle does not get as much respect as you might think among the specialists. Doug Winter has pronounced it "common in all...
That is the ANACS opinion. It does not carry the same weight as PCGS and NGC. On the other hand, the photos might be making the hairlines look...
The mint run lottery ... pathetic.
No, I didn't want one of those. The $10,000 resale profit would nice, but the V-75 coin does absolutely nothing for me.
I did for two days in a row, but they popped up on the Mint's Website again, and someone here was kind enough to point that out to me. Therefore I...
Here is the prime example of the "registry position follies." How much would you pay for this 1963 Proof cent? [ATTACH] [ATTACH] For those who...
Here's how it works for the dealers who play the PR-70 game. They screen the coins. Then they send in hundreds or even thousands of pieces at the...
Getting coins into PR-70 slabs, when big money is to be made, is a bear. First, most coins don’t make the grade. No matter how perfect it might...

I just received the two gold coin set commemorating the 400th anniversary of the voyage of The Mayfower. The coins are quite beautiful ......

No one is denigrating what these people collect, @Virginian. What they are questioning is the wisdom of paying very high prices for very common...
No always. The early coins get shortchanged on the NGC registry. I don't have the intelligence to figure out the PCGS system. I do very little...
Having been born and raised in Delaware, I have an NGC PR-69 Ultra Cameo, clad quarter. I paid $25 for it, which is $15 more than the dealer from...
Yes, I have a picture of that “1804” somewhere, but I could not locate it.
The coin has Choice VF, close to EF sharpness. The huge scratch down the center of the obverse and the cleaning are major negatives. I find this...
Here is an example with a "1799" date on it. It's still junk. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I don’t think you can get a PR-68 on a 1956 coin. I voted 66+. There seems be a disturbance in the left field.
The main attraction for me would be the original holder. The York commemative is common in high grade. You only have to pay a few dollars more to...
