Re: Oh, NO! Day two of the hostage situation #3248343!!!!
<< <i>Russ, From Sept. 27 til Oct. 15 is 15 business days Toady is day 17 on a 15 day guarantee. >> Not even close. You're on business day 8. There were two shows with on-site grading and a holiday. I have one in that hit 9.23, and it's only on day 12. Russ, NCNE -
Re: An example of a coin that is a definite grade guarantee candidate.
<< <i>I'm still a newb, what is wrong with the coin? Looks good, can't figure out what you mean by bad..........

Re: Anaconda: The Perils of Dealing in PCGS Early Coins
<< <i><< It's like a giant garden. All you have to do is get off your ass and pick the vegetables. >> hey russ, is that a quote from "being there"? >> Karl, Don't know, I've never seen the movie. It's just something I've been saying for years. Not sure where I picked it up. Russ, NCNE -
Re: Wish me luck, my first Frankies ever are now on their way to PCGS.
Lucy Bop has worked her Franklin mojo on Russ. The same way he lead many astray on this board about proof JFK's... there is a raw justice in that. Old bald guys beat a thick, accented head of hair every day of the week. Hail to Lucy Bop, Princess of Frankie. Ruler of Russ. Clank -

<< <i><< Evan Gale at Aspen Park is an excellent guy. >> Barney has a different opinion. Russ, NCNE >> Thread link??? I could use some drama. >> It's long ago. I doubt the threads can even be accessed any more. Besides, it was really more Barney's fault than it was Evan's. Russ, NCNE -
Re: Unhappy with Downgrade Review buyout offer...
<< <i>Russ, than what your saying is that the pcgs price guide has no value ... >> That's pretty much been the consensus for a while now. Recently they've been working to improve it, but they still have a long way to go. It's tough to have accuracy with any static price guide in a very dynamic market. Russ, NCNE -
Re: A question for you submitting experts....

Russ, NCNE >> Hey Russ, i know this is a stupid question but, do you think in some way they might grade the coin at the higher grade if it is a very close call between the two grades if you believe it strong enough to pay that extra insurance? -
Re: Just got an eye opener from Heritage
On the subject of images, I think some of the detractors fail to appreciate the difficulties involved in imaging. To compare an auction house's herculean task of imaging all those lots to the relatively few number of coins that Russ (or whomever) images is unfair. Russ can take his time imagine each coin.
