Re: PCGS for grading foreign coins?
I agree with TwoKopeiki's comments and some others' which echo my own experiences. But I'm more interested in objective data rather than subjective ... on that note I wish to add the following: Gold and copper typically preserve better in NGC plastic. Do I own gold and copper in PCGS plastic? Yes to both. Did I submit… -
Re: Ignore (unless you're a Kennedy proof collector) 2007 pops
I enjoyed reading this again; but I've yet to use Don's 'codify' in a sentence in the last year and a half. Thousands of 1964 to 1967 "proof" sets have been opened since this thread was originally started but the pops remain virtually frozen. This defies logic, but the high grade D/C's are just toooooo hard to find. Russ… -
Re: 1968 Kahn's
I think that the more the card is in the original state, the more desireable. If not, there would be no Hostess complete boxes or panels. There'd be no Hires cards with tab, no milk duds boxes, no Nabisco panels, no Post panels, etc. 1964 Topps Standups would have been punched out (which is what you were supposed to do).… -

Re: Life is like a box of chocolates.......you never know what you get on Ebay sometimes
<< <i> << <i>. if that one passes grading i'll be happy for you CAF! but you are good with these with toning so i'll defer to your word . >> It looks like the typical toning when the coin is stored in the capsule with the black foam ring. I will let you know soon >> Hmmm....I use Air-Tite brand capsules with the black foam… -
Re: Hockey Pucks have no support
if not for the milk spot, I wouldn't be selling mine. my intention was to keep a few sets for myself. I've gotten one and it's going out the door. Separately, I think even collectors like myself see the money to be made with the flip and are going for it, as we expect prices to fall later. I think we'll see the real… -
Re: PO-1 fans (don't really know how smart we are!) - my YN made another one! 1853-O Arrows & Rays
I am not a smart man, but I just don't get this whole PO-1 thing. Why would you want to pay shipping and grading fees to have the satisfaction of having a documented very bad coin? Obviously your motives can not be economic. Nor do you want to own a coin that is attractive. This is not a put-down. Each collector certainly… -
Re: 2006-w SAE What's up??
of the the 2006-W ASE's I have looked at have only been raw and one PCGS MS69 I bought a month or two ago to use as a comparison. I can't see anything wrong with either the graded or raw coin through a 8x loop and angled light, etc.. I would have a very hard time trying to pick out a "perfect" coin to send to NGC. I can… -
Re: 2009 Silver Proof Quarter Die Error
I went back and checked my 2009 and 2010 silver proof quarters and as I remembered, none of my 2009 coins show any evidence of the mill groove (so it only showed up on the error coin). In my 2010 sets, one of the sets is perfectly nominal but in the other one, all five coins show evidence of the upsetting mill groove. In… -
Re: my ngc submission of toned peace dollars and gold
<< <i> << <i>but i do disagree on the toned peace dollars like i said i know for a fact the one laid face down in a silk box for 30+ years so i dont know how it could be AT >> You are free to believe what you like, but if you continue to buy coins like this, you will continue to get grades that will disappoint you.
