If only NGC sold stock. I'd buy a 100 shares because they are going to make a bundle off of slabbing these things.
As anyone who has read my posts would probably guess, I am no fan of the mint, BUT...I got my 2 Legacy Sets today and they are beyond my...
Cloudsweeper and I disagree on all but one point. Look back at history and decide for yourself.
I sent a set of Frankies to NGC to be slabbed... Talk about STUPID! Never again.
I understand what you are saying, BUT, this is legally grey. Coins ARE the government's property TECHNICALLY - not morally or ethically, but...
Yes, my opinions are strong but I think I have more facts than you. First of all, I said it was MY opinion and not a legal opinion. If you have...
The days before the TPGs were certainly better. This was (and for the most part still is) a hobby of honorable people. When I was a young...
None of these were ever legally released, therefore there was no legitimate way for anyone but the mint to own them.
This is very interesting. Actually, in my opinion, those items (they are not really coins since they were never monetized) belong to the mint. In...
I just went to the mint website. It is "down for maintenance" again. I hope another fiasco is not in the making.
Speedy, Call NGC and find out how many coins each grader does each day and divide that by 8 hours. I did and it comes out to less than 15 secs...
A few people here, and yourself, do not think this coin was cleaned. What makes anyone think the person at ANACS knows anymore than you do. Don't...
Yes, I was able to discover that. I also know what is causing the error. When the page loads, that link needs have a variable called threadID...
I wrote to Speedy about this issue in a PM and he referred me to Peter. I wrote to Peter, but received no response. The "LAST PAGE" link does...
This thread, Speedy, originally was talking about coins, or more precisely, numismatists. My original point still stands. That point is that...
Considering that both high bids start with 14, is it possible that they missed a decimal point and intended to bid 14 dollars plus some amount of...
Not even close to the same thing, Rick. If a person has a degree from an institution of higher learning, that institution places their endorsement...
What would make you think that a person at a TPG knows anymore about grading say... Morgans, than someone who has been collecting them for ten...
That was part of my point. The letters, actually the affiliations, represent areas of interest or concentration in a certain area of collecting...
I was also fairly sure that none of the envelopes were sealed at the mint. My memory is a little foggy, but I was sure that my sets from the early...
Separate names with a comma.
