Re: A real live coin doctor at the NY ANA show!
Now let me get this straight. Toning on coins will be able to be duplicated so well that in a few years the toned market will fall apart. Ok, I could buy that. But at the same time, the ability to create bright white luster on untoned coins will become a reality, but........the "white blazer" coin market will NOT fall… -
Re: Unmarked metal detector
I set up my metal detectors so that they either ignore nails, or, so that nails give an iron signal that tells me not to bother digging. Everybody occasionally gets fooled by iron falsing; but, I don't know anybody who deliberately wants to dig nails. -
Re: Why is this happening in an airtite?
False advertising >:) From your hazy picture, it looks like there's good frost and the toning that so disturbs you will come right off with diluted Jewel-Luster. The question, of course, is what's under the darkness on the cheek, but that's very likely NOT thumbing. Then, mayhap, a flashy MS63 or 64. -
Re: 2012 World Series: Tigers tamed, Giants complete the sweep!
"but to me, the Giants were a better team last year with Beltran over Pence and roughly the same cast and they didn't win....so" One name that makes this statement totally false. Buster Posey, he ran the pitching staff amazingly, not to mention his hitting. -
Re: Unbelievable
<< <i>It doesn't matter what he did or said. The penalty is assesed after the score. >> False. The NCAA - and most high school leagues - changed the rule this season. Taunting and such that happen during a play, such as this one, are enforced from the spot of the foul, not after the score. Tabe -
Re: Heritage Auction. Lost on my Bid but Coin is now back in Dealers Inventory?
I have noted that in most auctions nothing happens until it lot actually comes up on the Internet. Then the bids come out of the woodwork. The bidding can open for three or four weeks before the auction and then BOOM! Appearant disinterest before the bidding starts is often a false sign. -
Re: Italia...... ESP
Those fakes are common! I saw 4 different fakes of that one and the 1914 5 lire (with chariots) at the local show last Saturday. Gladly all were marked as fakes. They are pretty good looking but a quick inspection in person should always be able to prove them false. -
Re: Is the back of this card worthy of an 8
Alan I would be very skeptical. I have not seen such discoloration before on '61s, and I own scads of 'em. Is it possible the scan gives a false impression? Did you look closely at the front where any "stain" may have been apparent? regards.............Todd -
Re: Whitman Baltimore: spring, summer, or winter
<< <i>The June Summer Show has a much lighter dealer attendance than the spring or fall shows. >> Agreed. During weak periods in the market the summer show is like a ghost town compared to the other two shows. And trying to sell stuff is harder. Strength of spring vs fall is also market dependent. I seem to remember… -
Re: 1731 George II Coin
Sylvestius: The differences between grading in the UK and US is worthy of a separate thread and there is really no problems with either as long as the standards for each are followed. Perhaps across the pond the US view of the VF grade (20-35), AU (50-58), and MS (60-70) seems strange, but there is some benefit to a…
