That's a great point about buying in bulk. If they buy in bulk and grade in bulk, I assume the entire process is less expensive for them per set...
I'm surprised I couldn't find a thread about grading Eagles using the search function. But maybe I'm not using the right search terms. When I...
The HA commission is easy to find but the S&H is not (at least the last time I looked). Newcomers get easily burned. Their prices are too high,...
LOL. Wow, you guys are good. Can I send all of my photos to you from now on? NGC graded it as a PR65 Cameo. Super Dave, thanks for the fantastic...
Greetings. I buy now and then for a small collection and want to get better at buying coins online. That means I have to do a better job of...

You look at a coin on Heritage Auctions and see that the five most recent auctions of the same grade have previously sold for anywhere between...
Just found this thread. Many years ago, my wife was a teller just out of college. One day a guy walked in and gave them a bag of 50 cent pieces...
Sounds pretty clear that I shouldn't grade any of them. It will be interesting to try selling a few in an auction where all the others are graded...
OK on the ASEs Thanks for the feedback. I'll stay away from grading ASEs. What are your thoughts about grading gold and platinum Eagles? I also...
I'm a fairly new and inexperienced collector with a small collection of silver, gold and platinum Eagles, along with some other coins. I have been...
