PCGS Coin Sniffer questions
I don't know if anybody on here can answer these questions other than PCGS bosses, but here are a couple of mine. Please post yours! 1) Everything smells. Does PCGS have a list of acceptable smells versus not acceptable smells? A bogus example would be if I was eating an apple while holding a coin. I might get apple juice… -
T206's for Sale
First come first serve, the only fair way. I just picked up a couple of PSA submission boxes from my Post Office this morning to sort through some of the items that will be for sale and have decided to try and presell these cards for Saturday shipments. I will try to describe these clearly as I will not have any scans… -
Re: Collectors Club Slabs
<< <i>BECOKA....its not that I am interested in adding it to a Registry set...I just want to know if its no more valuable as a crack out to be put in my bullion pile. Plus, if I DO decide to crack it out, would I still get my $0.50 if I sent in the cert? Its just a matter of 'If I crack it out, will it do something to the… -

<< <i>Can't tell about the shield, but it kinda looks to me like the field below the shield has a lot of milk spots when I enlarge it.

Confession time..........What PCGS Graded coins did you recently sell simply for bullion?
I sold 2006 Anniversary ASEs graded 69 some with FS labels and a couple of PR70s that had developed milk spots after 20 years.............. Also some $5 gold commemoratives with PCGS labels. -
Removed
I still have a hoard of 1957 US Proofsets in original packaging---have had most of these in my possession for 40-50 years. The outer envelopes were opened upon purchase many years ago for inspection. Some were purchased by me directly from the mint (cost $2.10 each as I recall). They are not your average run-of-the-mill… -
Re: just checked my 2006 w unc ase's ngc 69..........not good...

Re: I guess all the Accented Hair bloodhounds are at evening services tonight?
TommyB, << <i>What do the milk spots do as far as grading goes? >> It depends on where they're located. In the case of this coin, prominent on the obverse as they are, they're a killer. Probably a three point drop. << <i>Have you figured out a way to get rid of them? >> AFAIK, there is no way to completely remove them…
