Re: A couple of highlights from an otherwise dismal submission. Trueviews added.
@Rexford "and then of course 200 or so of their followers hop on the hate train and bash PCGS, when really if any of them knew anything about artificial toning they would be able to spot these as suspect from a mile off." Bots. A lot of them are bots. People who scam on social media know full well how to manipulate it. It… -
Re: I got my first bodybag and I'm IRKED!!
The coin does have a look to it that indicates a mild cleaning or more likely a good rubbing with a hankerchief, or perhaps one of those treated cloths people used for silverware (were they around 40/50 years ago? I think they were). As I look at the obverse, the device has a bright, yet smoothed look to most of the high… -
Re: I think someone will be really sorry!!!
notwilight Senior Member Posts: 411 Joined: Jul 2006 Newbie, at least on these boards. This is exactly why these scams work, because a newbie hasn't seen them before, he gives them the benefit of the doubt and then gets burned.

Re: How much does it REALLY cost to become a coin dealer?
It depends what a "dealer" is. If the definition is someone who buys and sells coins for fun and for profit, it doesn't take much at all. You can start with as little as one coin and eBay. If you want to become a professional dealer as a full time endeavor it would vary based on your business model. The most important… -
Re: Fantasy Football Question... which WR would you start?
<< <i> << <i>I'm not sure I want to help here. >> I'm not playing you this week though mathew >> Oh, I can help then. Actually, your matchup is the most interesting to me this week. If you lose, I'll tie you for first with a win. If you win, I'll all but lock up a playoff spot with a win. In either event, I've gotta get by… -
Re: Ethics question
<< <i>After he died, the glue on the back came loose in a small spot. I knew that Elderly Music in Lansing Michigan repaired guitars, so I drove over. It's a hundred twenty miles from my home. They refused to even look at the guitar because it was "junk". I told them I'd pay for the repair up front with cash. Still no… -
Re: 1992-D Close AM ... False Alarm on the MS68!
Quote: Each person finding one would have to look at an average of 350,000 coins. It's not as though they're labeled so the searcher almost has to be aware of the vari- ety and has to spot it when he sees it. It seems entirely plausible to me that 50 or 100 have been found by searchers and added to their collections.… -
Re: 1883 Morgan DMPL/PL question
<< <i>Is it weird that in the pop report for 1883 Morgans there are 496 PL's but 651 DMPLs? I also see that on the 1880/9-S but the pops are mcuh lower. Any reasoning behind this? >> Probably submission bias, likely driven by price differences. I would imagine many PLs were submitted as being DMPL, just didn't make it. But… -
Re: This means War!
Hey Mick.... I looked at that set when it came out on eBay and thought maybe a few cards would make a decent grade.... According to most eBay sellers, all their cards are perfect and problem free. ...All of us of this board simply knows that isn't the case, most of the time...... I think the price realized was in the… -
