Reveal later tonight and then part 2 of 5 will follow.
That would be one of the factors I would suggest as well. Another might be to look at historical premiums and see if any of the current options is...
That's always possible and you won't know for sure unless you go. I think it's usually worth going at least once for the experience.
That's a great haul! Nice variety of type coins!
One could read it that way, but there were plenty of positives. Spending a day around coins is fun on its own. Then you have the thrill of the...
Both times PCGS (unless you were predicting the NGC grade and I misunderstood :wacky:).
@spirityoda those are some nice Polish coins! My preferred grade range is between 58-64. There is one on eBay but it's from overseas and is pricey...
From my experiences, prices in general are going up (and have been since Spring 2020). Coin show dealers have adjusted to the market and increased...
Cleaned is a bit trickier because luster plays a big part in the gem grades. If the luster is subdued, it is much harder to call a coin a 66. I...
I agree with you to a certain point. I think some scratches aren't as bad as others and should be treated similar to bag marks or other hits....
My NGC sub is all moderns (and I'm still waiting for it in the mail) so there isn't much worthwhile grade guessing. The PCGS sub on the other hand...
Here are the two coins I bought and the free sample: [IMG] [IMG]
This was my first show since 2019 and it was good to be back! I prefer going on a weekday but other plans prevented that this year, so Saturday...
If it's a big/obvious scratch, then it should be a details coin. Like @Morgandude11 mentioned, it could be BU Details - scratched ....it could be...
When completing my type set, the strategy was to have a fairly broad search and be open to anything that fit. I found that if I focused in on only...
Nice job! @Mkman123 might want to see it too.
Yep; see thread below. It still is in the mail, so I don't have more to share about the in hand look until the coins arrive....
If it turns into a nice or even neutral tone, that would certainly be a positive. I collect toners. Modern world coins like these aren't often...
Leaving it alone might be another option. Cracking it out is wasting money but if it looks unattractive in hand, then it's a bigger loss than the...
There used to be a good website that talked about toned Morgans but it seems to no longer be active. Another person has created a similar website...
