Re: Did DLRC make itself more attractive or less attractive as an acquisition target with its purchase o
Longacre, Interesting perspective and insight. I used to think of DLRC as a takeover target, as well. But that was before I realized how much I enjoy the business and the company so much. We have a great staff and the work is rewarding in more ways than financial and -- most importantly -- we have our own vision of the… -

So if you had an extra million dollars, would you peel off 938K and take a crack at this 3 coin set? (hey, I can dream can't I?) The 1843 Proof Gold Set offered for… -
Re: Do we, as collectors, owe a debt of gratitude to high end dealers, who create a market for very rare
<< <i>It looks like Rare Coin Wholesalers requires your email just to view their inventory. That's either to harvest my info or to keep out the riff raff.

Re: How important is Originality to you?
Coinkat, Given the questions, disagreements, and debate that go on here regarding "Natural Toning" vs. "Artificial Toning", and the after-the-fact second guessing of what the grading companies determine, do you think it's really an easy task for the grading services to identify "Original Surfaces" vs. "Unoriginal(?)… -
Some interesting PCGS facts from their 2017 10-K report

Re: Hypothetical #10 - Collector sells Added Mintmark
I know the mantra here for everything is, “It’s cracked out; therefore it’s yours,” BUT a really well executed glued on mint mark is really tough to spot in a slab with a concave window and a layer of plastic.
