Re: CAC and Green Spots on Gold
While I wouldn’t go as far as saying they don’t ever do it anymore, but the days of PCGS fixing environmental problems under the guarantee are over for the most part. I am not sure what the guarantee even covers anymore considering that grades are subjective. I had a CC trade in an expensive grade with a trueview. I bought… -
Re: AT, NT and a Discussion of Determining Between the Two
<< <i>you are simply wasting time & effort fretting over the whole bogus "at vs nt" so-called debate. instead, focus on what YOU like!!! >> Good advice. I think most people can spot the eBay ridiculous AT coins a mile away, but other than extremes, I think RYK said it best - the grey area is too big. This is my only coin… -
Re: Why doesn't Wisconsin have a pro hockey team ?
Well, THAT was certainly convincing logic. Good job. If you followed hockey at all you'd already know that if Milwaukee could support an NHL franchise they would have had one in the 90's when Bettman was awarding franchises to any market that wanted one. An investment group took at look at it in the mid-90's when Bettman… -
Re: Sacrificing Quality When You Don't Know How Many Examples Exist...
I'll fill the hole if the price is right and will buy the "right" coin when it comes along. I've been doing that for a while now and always get my money back on the imperfect coins. For me, I've been benefitting from owning multiple examples of rare items. It improves my familiarity with the series. I have a ~70 coin set… -
Rarest British Uncirculated Currency Coin of the 19th Century?
OK, which coin or coins are the rarest uncirculated currency issues for Great Britain for the 19th Century (emphasis on Victoria)? This discounts the "hyper-varietals" such as the infamous slim 3's and narrow dates, etc. I vote: 1854 florin 1850 shilling 1839 halfcrown 1893 jub. 6d 1863 florin 1882 London penny I am not… -
A Cast Counterfeit Spanish Milled Pillar Dollar
The mention of a counterfeit Spanish coin in the World and Ancient section reminded me of this piece. I spotted this counterfeit pillar dollar in my local club auction. I pointed it out to the consigner, and he gave me the piece to use as an education tool. These coins are well over 200 years old and can be found with… -
Re: Lanemeyer................I WAS WRONG.
The Dallas announcer (Daryl Reaugh), who is far less a "homer" than most announcers, called the Wild's Foligno "dirtier than a urinal cake". It was funny because it was true, and because Reaugh NEVER says stuff like that until a human urinal cake like Foligno spends half a game doing nothing but trying to injure the… -

Re: What's With All The 2003-P MS69 Lincoln Cents?
DRG is right on! The quality of the 2003-P cents in mints sets was astounding. I submitted 3 from my first 20 sets. I could not find a single contact mark, rub, spot, planchet belmish or any flaw on them. The fields were prooflike. All 3 went MS69RD. Compare to the 2003-D nickels. On these the strike was a little weak,… -
Re: How will collectors react to the Sacs in 100 years?
I agree that the coin is delecate, and that 100 years from now there may be few pristine examples. BUT it could be like the political sulfides that were issued during the 1840 presidential election. Some political collectors love them. I won't touch one with an 8 foot pole and would never buy one at a high price. Why?…
