Coins back from PCGS. Guess the grades! (Grades Posted)
Posted my comments and grades below. Ok, so my camera has been broken for many months. Please forgive me for scanning them, the scans introduced artifacts, junk, milky spots and muted toning (on the half). But, should still be fun to guess the grades. I was able to call two of them, well 3 really but I was hoping for the… -
Re: Hammered back down, again.
GDX was whipsaw central today. You could have sold-bought-sold it today on multiple large swings. The COT positioning shows 18 month extremes in silver with gold not far behind. Unless we're now in a new PM bull market (it's possible), then these kinds of levels have soon led to stiff corrections for the past 4 years. The… -

Re: Here is a question regarding the gold price
Nice summary by jmski52. Miners today are working high up in the mountains (5,000 to 10,000 ft) and deep in the earth as well (3 miles down) in some of the coldest and hottest environments imagineable. These are not ideal conditions to mine. The days of finding huge gold deposits near the surface are pretty much gone. The… -
Re: Educate Me! How to I protect my toners from changing color?
I believe that the usefulness of Intercept Shield boxes is very debatable. It is my understanding that a truly original toned coin once removed from its toning source and slabbed would prove to remain quite stable going forward and does not really require specific care to keep it from toning more. Yes, environmental… -
Re: What it was like collecting coins when I was a kid
As AUandAG stated, we all have many stories of how we began collecting coins, but in reading some of these, one story came to mind above all of the others. I began collecting coins when I was ten years old, in 1959, looking through the proceeds from my newspaper route. I had purchased the familiar Whitman blue folders at… -
Re: Toned Lincolns...HELP !!!!!!
Yeah, not pics, but HOW to take them is what I'm looking for also. Diffused light,.....like the coin under a dome ( I have tried a milk gallon cut in half with the lens thru the spout and the light shining thru the white plastic, best shots so far, but it hurts the luster) -
Secondary Toning - Flowing Hair Half
After receiving some helpful feedback on the Bust Dime I posted earlier, I have another surface related question on a 1795 half dollar, a lowly G4. Below are the seller’s photos (GC) followed by some photos I took with different lighting. As you can see the coin is basically grey, but when it is viewed under certain… -
Mild Vent...and a little Help for Dealers and Collectors.
Fooey the two slabs I received today had huge Rub Marks/Smudges on them that would not even let you see the coin clearly. Here is the help for the dealers or any other seller of Slabbed Coins. Invest in a package of these to ship your slabs in. These are really expensive, a buck for 100, but they protect the slab during…
