Re: 2025 college football thread
If your best argument is something from last year you have no argument. The simple fact is Illinois has 2 paths to the playoffs. 1`5-20 teams lose 4 games or they win the conference. They have played two ranked teams. They were not competitive against OSU and they had the biggest ranked blow out by a mile in that pathetic… -
Re: Treasure Stories.
Here in north Dublin in the village of Malahide where I live in there was a grisly murder at a large estate in the 1920's. The servant killed the entire family of six and fled with 30,000 sterling of British gold Sovereigns and Guineas. He made it only one mile from the estate to where he was captured a few hours later.… -
Labels We'd Like to See...
While the coin and it's grade are most important, competition for higher value can be found right on your slab's label. First Strike, Last Strike, First Day of Issue, Advanced Release, Anniversary Issue, and on and on... For complete uniqueness and really rare provenance pushing your coin to incredible values, what are… -
Re: First Cheerios dollar I've seen on eBay
<< <i> I have done some calling around, and nobody knows of any more duds. However, the total population known is now up around 75 good ones, so four out of 79 is more like 5%, not 10% Tom - One more question. How closely have you studied the "duds"? Is it possible that they are some other prototype? (OK, I guess that's… -
1964 Proof Accent hair Kennedy Double Die
I was looking at my Accent Hair Kennedies (the milk spotted ones) to sell on a bid board and found a double die. Doubling shows on best (5X) on the B,E,R of Liberty (fully split serfs) and the hair in that area, with some on the IN GOD Have you found one Russ? I tried to scan it, with poor results, so no picture, but I… -
Re: This is further proof that 200x-W ASE's are modern crap and no better than melt...one caveat: Is it
<< <i>I agree it is a waste..... Why get it graded = grading on these coins is a joke First Strike = a joke >> Right. I suppose the buyer of this First Strike is laughing his/her but off! This one as well. This buyer probably busted a gut! Now this buyer probably has some reservations over the price paid but my guess is… -
Back from NGC - Austria, Israel and Palestine Grades
These came back today. A few dissapointments yet overall a nice run considering that I picked them raw and I do not consider myself to be a grading expert whatsoever. Austria: 1612/1 Rudolf II Taler - Satisfied, a nice overdate which I was not aware of. 1615 CO Maximilian Taler - spot on grade. Israel 1949 25 Mils AU… -
Re: GTG - 1923 Peace Dollar - GRADE POSTED
Luster appears to be outstanding, the color very appropriate. Frost on the devices is great (always look in the feathers) and no trace of wear (easiest for me to pick up in the little ridges of the rock the eagle is standing on). The gunk above "IN GOD" appears to be a bit of milk-spotting, which is common, but detracts… -
Re: To clean DCarr coins before grading or not?
Dan CAR Wrote If a piece has just started to tone unattractively, I recommend a "dipping" to reverse and stabilize it. Once the toning is dark and/or "thick", it is too late as that would result in cloudiness after dipping. A dipping will also greatly reduce the chances of any "milk spotting" down the road. Occasionally,… -
Re: Just one more way Ebay scr*ws you............
<< <i>Heck I block a bunch just based on the questions they ask. If I'm selling a PCGS MS/PR 69 modern and they ask something like "Can you assure me there are nor blemishes, rubs or other defects on this coin because I really want a perfect example?" I answer politely no then imediately block them. >> You mean someone is…
