Re: How do I know 100% if a U.S. coin is real?
Determined CONCLUSIVELY to be fake by an expert at the highest level of the grading company not by a committee of self-appointed experts. I learned more than one valuable lesson from that experience and I hope others here learned from that adventure too. My understanding is that the fake piece, a well-executed counterfeit… -

Perhaps a rare coin shows up at a grading company, totally legitimate, but the grader that sees it is unfamiliar with its characteristics, and so it gets… -
Re: "First Day of Production" Labels?
PCGS "first strike" pedigrees are completely bogus--it's a first class falsehood ripping off countless uninformed people who truly believe they're receiving coins among the first struck in an issue. They are not. What adds bittersweetness to this little fiasco is that the US mint agrees with this position and has said so… -

Re: To the dealers: How is business
The economy is horrible. JOBS (the key to anything good in any economy) are very hard to come by. Companies are laying off staff at alarming rates - while they should be laying off the miserable CEO's and so-called executives that CAUSED the problems to begin with! But alas, I'm dreaming. Such a thing will never occur.…
