Re: USPS Registered mail disappeared - advice ? plus images of 3 of the coins
I stopped using Registered with USPS insurance and went with private insurance and just overnight the coins. Much, much faster. My theory is that the less time in someone else's hands, the better.
Re: What is the largest grade decrease you have received?

I bought the 1904-O Barber half dollar at the Pittman sale in partnership with another dealer. It was a deeply toned but essentially perfect gem, and (to us) an obvious proof, identical in fabric to the the unique proof 1904-O $10. PCGS graded it 67 but refused to call it a proof, or even SP. So my partner dipped it to a deadish gray-white and got it into an NGC SP62 holder. Turned 30-something-K into about 4K, IIRC. Although I never actually got paid my half of the 4K, but that's a story for another day.
Has anyone ever received the opposite of a "you suck"?
"You rule dude..." ?
Re: Error experts: Can you explain this?
If the lamination was thin in the area of the mouth, the design would be transferred to the base coin through the thin lamination and of course the design would also be on the lamination.

Didn't wanna make a new thread just for this, but it has a gold bean now.
Re: What’s going on with all these overgraded older holder coins on EBay. Check this one out.
Thanks I just bought it!
Royal Mint: St George and the Dragon 2024 UK 2oz Silver Proof Coin
The UK Royal Mint has just released the St George and the Dragon 2024 UK 2oz Silver Proof Coin.
The 2 ounce proof version has a mintage of 2950.
I ordered one, I think the raised edge inscription is unique, I like the design, but it's very expensive.......

No danger for the short time spent in PVC foam during transit.Would it be dangerous lets say long term since the coin is in a PCGS slab can PVC causes gases that could affect the coin? Or does PVC only transfer over onto metals with direct contact? How could it get threw the PCGS slab?
It doesn't transfer EVER. PVC damage comes from compounds released when the PVC breaks down over TIME. you can safely run a raw coin all over that PVC packaging all week long and nothing will happen.
