Re: Hey Folks, Check-out These Registry Quality Jeffersons for sale on BST board
"Did you personally see the coins in Pittsburgh?" Leo: I lot viewed the collection at Bowers offices here in S. CA. - actually 2x.

Re: Can anyone tell Stacks what utter garbage their website is?
<< <i>Mark / Nic. First, as I said, my travels across the country at times have been to look at coins for my personal registry sets. Nothing to do with a livelihood.

If I were analyzing PCGS for Morningstar, I would classify it as a "wide moat" company. They have a huge competitive advantage in that they are perceived to be the most conservative graders, with the widest market acceptance. IMHO.

Re: New NGC article about supposedly fake Costa Rica coin, but is it?
Highly enthusiastic about coins, counterfeits and odd stuff also. <3 This discussion gives me the chance to remind all of you NOT TO BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ (including my post)! Read and then verify what you read as misinformation is all over the Internet. IMHO, the OP's opinion is incorrect. I agree with NGC that the… -
