Re: can someone identify the date range for this PCGS holder? (Very important)
<< <i>Picture this scenario... Some person(s) drop into a major show (FUN, ANA, Long Beach, Baltimore) with a dozen such counterfeit slab & coins. Coins such as the one in the OP or any coin in the area of $1500-$2500 Greysheet Ask. Avoiding the major dealers, heading to smaller guys toward the back. At each of these… -
Re: I thought that this Forum is not for selling, I guess I am wrong.
Realone seems to make some valid points. i don't pretend to understand the situation fully or even at all since i never saw the thread(s), but i have a pretty fair idea of how the sharks that come visit here work and how the vultures that operate. it's simp[le, really, both sides are motivated by greed. this place is an… -
Re: US Mint Set Values-Shipping Box/Presentation Box
<< <i>The state of collecting in many ways is and always has been quite obsessive and compulsive. Perfection is sought in every way. It makes sense that issues of US Mint coin sets will fetch more upon resale if they are sold in the presentation boxes in which they were originally sold by the US Mint. But, I am told that… -
Re: How scarce are high-grade raw cards becoming?
I think you're seeing a shortage of raw NM high dollar cards on ebay because the smart dollars aren't buying them, not because they don't exist. Why would I put a raw NM-MT 1958 Mantle on ebay raw when I know I can get much more for it if it truly is graded nm-mt? Because of the many scammers and deceptive people out there… -
Re: Man, is this suspicious or what?
What I'm talking about it the fact that he's been "selected" because he only has a feedback of 1. Don’t get me wrong it's a good thing that Ebay fraudsters are exposed through this forum, but just don’t drag someone’s rep and auction through the mud just because he doesn't sell 100 coins a day. That all :-) So you think he… -
Re: Shop at home TV
<< <i> You dont have to break the law to be a crook. Crooks can be any kind of dishonest person who take advantage of others who are not in the know and are at a great disadvantage. These guys KNOW what they are doing. They KNOW the kind of uneducated people who watch these shows and buy their product. They ARE crooks in… -
Re: Any lawyers on the forum?
Some of the points mentioned here are valid. The buyer could have asked for more pictures before making the purchase. That being said , there are some incorrect points. (1) the seller will not be out of hundreds of dollars, he/she will receive a final value fee credit after the return is completed. Yes it is a pain in the… -
Re: Copper Melting...
In a nutshell, NO IT IS NOT ILLEGAL to melt, drill, elongate, cut or otherwise mutilate pennies or any other US coin. However it IS apparently illegal to destroy a US bank note! Also, other countries may have their own laws which prohibit destroying their coins. There should be a permanent FAQ about this somewhere, because… -
Re: Heritage auction archives price shock--does this ever happen to you?
<< <i>I also find the Heritage Archives an invaluable tool for researching prices. About a year ago I paid a pretty penny for a rarer 1795 bust half. The seller actually offered to cancel the sale and sold it to me at the price I suggested, and I saved his email offering a return privilege - just in case. He assured me the… -
Re: Need opinions on this Gold coin.....
there is almost always a reason why such a coin is not already in a holder Maybe ...it's aaaa... That it takes 3 months to get a coin back from certain slabbing companies???? That's a BIG reason that I don't get some coins graded - the process takes too long and is too expensive for a lot of coins. To spend an extra $30…
