Everyone wants full retail. And they want to buy at wholesale.

I dont like the position of many mint marks. Nothing wrong it just seems a bit displaced there, jmo

Some of those are designers' initials, which quite often seem out of place.

Regarding the 38-D Buff and gold CAC stickers, as many know, these are not rare and are made all the time given the extensive mintage. Of the 787 gold stickered buffs in all years/mints, 402 of them (51%) are 38-D not including D/D or D/S varieties. I would wager that great majority of these are in OGH or rattlers.

Yes, the 1938-D Buffalo has the highest population of green and gold stickers in the Buffalo series, and yet they still sell for significant premiums over coins without a CAC sticker.

You guys really hit it out of the park this Saturday.
@Copperindian I have to admit….that 1909-O stopped me dead in my tracks. Great history tied to that coin. Absolutely splendid!

Are we talking about edge-lettering? If so then it would not be a grease issue.

No, I posted a picture

Most likely grease, as suggested. Worth $1.

It’s in rough shape!

First piece of advice was to learn what to look for.

Since you've ignored and blown past that advice, here is the second piece of advice.

Learn how to use your microscope's picture transfer feature. It's easy. Taking a picture of a screen is an extremely poor and lazy workaround.

I'm working on that; I'm not set up all the way, Like you professionals. I'm still a newby at this; Like Bambi.

I was reliably informed that you have incredible problem solving abilities.

I totally missed this detail when it was originally unveiled. And it's disgusting.

I'm sorry, but there is obviously an intent here: "War over Peace". Simple as that.

And that intent was not the Founding Fathers intent. Anyone who says otherwise is just distorting history to meet their current aims.

PCGS does not like to have the dirty laundry aired in public.

Demonstrably false since the original thread about that coin is still present. They simply deleted the duplicate thread when they closed the original.

By stating that the post was demonstrably false, you’re, in effect, saying that PCGS does like to have their dirty laundry aired in public. I disagree.

Red is saddened at OGC's confusion regarding some of my posts.
I will try to do better, and may I (Red) humbly suggest you attempt to slightly lighten up a bit?

"Red"-Third --------"my"-first-----------"I" -First-----"I"-first-(RED)-obviously, we know that it was you that posted

Jm finds Red easy to read and enjoyable with whom to banter. Jm feels we need more Reds.

Desert Coin finds that Red’s posts are pleasant enough, although you, my desert numismatist, are occasionally dizzied by the merry-go-round of person perspective as I read.
