Re: fingerprints
The only Silver Eagles which came in a box from the US Mint were the proof coins and they were in plastic capsules. Uncirculated coins were only available from dealers that purchased them in bulk from the US Mint. I expect what you have are coins that were put into either an old proof box or some other type of box as there… -
Re: Beware of Jerome F. Brown (oldguy)
Jim, Get over it. He offered to refund your money on any Unopened boxes. 28% of the sets you received were crappy, you opened the sealed boxes up. The seller is correct, you should have E-Mailed him right away before you opened any more boxes. As for the sets with haze, you opened them, you own them. As for not buying… -
Re: More discussion re. relative scarcity of Roman Imperial coins & how to map out a new set
Thank you for your post John, and to Lordmarcovan for the link... Both now make me even more worried about buying ancient coins! I can spot most suspect German coins from the proverbial "mile away" (except maybe the grade of a legite coin from a pic). But I have had little (read, no real) experience in ancients. I have to… -
Re: Opinions wanted on coin images
<<Not sure what you mean by reflections and blackspots?>> Glare and reflections are different degrees of the same thing. A mild or normal reflection makes the surface look shiny. If the reflection is too strong it becomes glare. Proof coin surfaces show up black in photographs because of the extreme shine. Black spots on… -

Re: What should I do with this Fugly Kennedy Half?
I said it was a dog. Did you think I was lying? You could send it in for grade guarantee and make some money. Market value is about $100. For those that are interested, it's one that grew opaque milk spots after it was slabbed. They are caused by impurities from the planchet rinsing process the mint used at the time.… -
Re: Why in the HECK are 20th SAE Sets going for $175 on ebay????????

Re: w
Well boys there you have it. I could spot that one a mile away. And to think I thought I had a bad day. -
Grade guarantee
I know PCGS guarantees grades and offers full or partial refunds between the graded value, and the new, lower value of a coin, but what happens if I have an ugly looking coin that was graded by PCGS that can be 'fixed'?? I have one now that developed milk spots (I assume after grading) that I want to keep but not in the…
