    Because then we would be stuck with a "Cent Lady", and who knows how that would be taken?

    When I was at ANACS we certified that as "1922 No D," but I have no problem with "1922 Plain."

    I'm sorry to report that Ignatz passed away Dec. 7, 1980 at the ripe old age of 77

    We do however have a facsimile of his signature from a car dealership bill of sale when he purchased a 1924 Model-T

    Ignatz paid $290 for the new 'Tin Lizzie'

    He could be a regular forum member with several thousand posts who also has an alternate identity so he can occasionally post something controversial or inappropriate but you most likely already knew this. We seem to have a lot of these critters here.image

    In Coin World coin values - The price for a 1804 14 stars dime in AU is listed at $600k but in mint state 63 its only worth $375k. How does a coin grade goes up and the price down? I saw both coins and they are both very nice. Would you rub the MS63 to have it graded a 58? Seems stupid or someone isn't watching the shop?

    If we are a cashless society, how does one get this across to coin collectors who insist otherwise ?
  • Options

    Does a semi-rare coin (1834 Capped Bust Quarter) is great condition (EF-40 to EF-45 range) lose all of it's value if there is a MAJOR scratch on it (deep scratch from center all they way to the rim)? Or a percentage of it?

    Similar question- generally, are coins graded tougher or more lenient due to rarity?

    This is correct, at least for me. If a post times out when I'm trying to post, I don't repost, and my original post will eventually show up. (I won't show up at the latest poster in the thread on the index page, though.)

    Because if we start rounding we all know prices will be adjusted to encourage rounding up and the consumer will always get screwed.
