Re: What implications does this article have for world coins?
Yes, the grade taking centre stage is a major issue. But the problem is around the definition of 'quality' and 'better'. The scale is designed for very high volume US coins, and accounts for certain types of wear (and, in theory, nothing else). It's so precise, you can't even tell the difference without a magnifying glass… -

Re: Newp: Egyptian trio
I don't remember, but I think we used to call it "happy talk"? I'm satisfied enough with mercy replies or happy talk on my posts. I reckon it beats silence.

I remember a couple-three years ago I went like 14 for 30 with CAC, and I was really kind of butt-hurt and scratching my head until I really put the critical eye back on them after they returned.

Re: Remove Nomar5378 from Ebay
I've purchased only low-end stuff (PSA 9s of discs and Kelloggs) from nomar, and have not had a problem on any transaction, but I find false titles to be extremely annoying, and I will not in the future do business with this seller.
