Hard to tell from this picture. Look like a 58 due to the rub on the cheek. Then again, I may be mistaken.
Maybe. You would hope. :)
If they have the "experience". Experience can be measure in dollars. I assure you it can. The higher a coin goes up in value, the less important...
The PCGS price guide is a marketing tool, nothing more. They would not spend the time to create such a thing unless it served a purpose for the...
You may want to be less harsh in your approach if you want to attract more qualified people from that board to this one. If, that's what you want...
Agreed! :) I buy a mixture of raw and slab. I generally crack out slabbed coins because I like to see coins in an album. I wouldn't do this if I...
Hi Mark! I mentioned you in a reply as a reference. http://www.cointalk.com/forum/t59580/#post631979 My intention was to show your price list as...

Funny how we hardly ever see silver bars toned like this. AT vs NT is a debate. There is no hard definition for either that everyone will agree...
Thanks for you thoughts guys. Even the collectors in Florida. Even if it does take time for them to count votes. 1...2...4...7... ;-)
I disagree because my original post makes no mention or implies the "proclaiming the end of coin collecting because of counterfeits". I re-read my...
Leadfoot, nothing you stated is incorrect, but it's not the point or counterpoint of the discussion we are having in this thread. The fact is that...
Exactly. There are many coins that go way up in price with just a few grading points. A counterfeiter would only need to perfect a conterfeit slab...
Where was China 20 years ago? How about Ebay? Fast forward to today. Still think it will play out that way?
When a realistic counterfeit slab is created, wouldn't we expect someone to put real coins into them? Here's the scenario. Attain a MS-65...
