Re: Worth grading 1975 dime no mint?
Welcome to the forum! 
As mentioned your coin is a common business strike coin from the Philadelphia mint.
They produced 585,673,900 of them and it's not worth the cost of grading and it's not rare.
Your coin is not the proof no S.
Don't fall into the hype & misinformation on the web about no mint mark coins.
Most Philadelphia coins do not have a mint mark.

VG4 -
Bolder colors, better centering and overlookable print vs. the print on the borders of the VG3

I like the 4. The print marks on the 3 really grab my eye while the ones on the 4 are not quite so noticeable.
Re: Shopping for a 1948 Leaf Jackie Robinson RC card, Here are Three (3) Examples. Which do you Like?
I would take the 4 - find the print marks on the white border more distracting than on the yellow background. The color on the 2 makes it my least favorite.

I like the 4 best. Centering and corners are the first thing a always look at first. The corners are better. The t/b centering wouldn't bother me as much as as s/s would.

Re: Soto To The Mets 15-Year, $765 Million Contract!
None of these guys are "Worth" the amount of money they are being paid, if anyone thinks Ohtani will have the same type of season he had last year I would say I disagree 100%

Auctions are a crap shoot, at best.
Sometimes, realizing FANTASTIC results and, other times, losing your shirt.
Next time, set your OWN reserve.
Re: Caitlin Clark’s Autographed WNBA Rookie Card Sells for Eye-Popping Amount
I personally have only watched because of Clark. I will watch a game if she is playing in it. I believe in a few years as long as the current stars keep playing, they will be a profitable league.
Re: Spinoff of my auction results post earlier today--NGC query
In addition to the above you have the registry bias. If a collector wants a coin for the PCGS registry they have no choice but to buy a PCGS graded coin or play the crossover game, which can be costly. That aspect plus the absence of CAC approval on your coins, this last one can really make or break the value of an NGC holder.
I personally think that NGC is the better grading company currently vs PCGS (due in part to the problems with gradeflation that was shown a couple of posts above), but the market is still skewed, and the registry is still a big part of that.

Seems the auction fees weren't accounted for in the "realized" prices given. Doesn't everyone understand, there is a 10-20% cost involved w/ most every transaction in this hobby?
