Grades in.
Just got this batch of grades in from across the street. I was glad to see that they were able to attribute both the 1814 Ga and 1813/2 Ga. I had high hopes for the 1777. Personally I was about 90% sure it would go MS61-62, but something held it back. 1765 was a total surprise and my first ever repaired coin bodybag. 001… -

Most of my ANACS and ICG coins are gone having been cracked and submitted to NGC (direct submittal) or PCGS via Teletrade raw… -
Re: I Have A Great Idea!
<< <i>Drinking this early in the morning? Coins with numismatic value are not commodities and cannot be made as such. One of the intents behind third-party grading was to support a commodity-type market for unseen trading. It didn't work then and won't work now.

Re: Sorry to say I don't know, but what is a troll?????
<< <i>Basically, it's someone who posts something controversial/stupid on a message board in order to get people riled up. Then, they get a lot of replies to the thread they started and feel all powerful and stuff. >> Yes, but I might have been called a troll (although no one has directed that label at me so far) because I… -

Re: In 33 years as a dealer, I've only met one person that built a set of Classic Gold Commems...
The late Terry Brand, a West Coast enthusiast, told me in 1989 he had a safe-deposit box (a LARGE safe-deposit box) full of gold commems. My response was "Why ever would you do that?" He said "Someone will want them". I told him to get rid of them. Someone evidently did not want them. Someone did not exist. He later…
