Counterfeit vs. Altered
The term counterfeit seems to be frequently misused. A counterfeit is a "coin" that is not produced by the original issuing authority. A 1916 dime with an added "D" mintmark is not a counterfeit. The dime itself is still a real dime. It is a coin that has been altered to defraud collectors by the addition of a false… -
Re: Just curious: natural or artificial toning?
Using "accelerated" instead of "artificial" doesn't really help all that much. You still need a way to distinguish either one from non-accelerated/non-artificial examples and neither description allows for a discrete "True/False" determination. Both exist on a continuum, where the transition from one state to the other is… -
Re: Pogue III Auction Analysis
Rays: When you stated the Eliasberg 1796 no pole half cent had changed since you saw it in 1996, in what way? In 1996, I carefully inspected it at least twice. There was much dark brown color contrasting nicely with much rich original mint red. Although there is still some red, this coin is now, to a significant extent, a… -
Re: Updated PSA Grading Terms
A lot, the cards can move during shipping. When they are received and handled, sometimes when grabbing a stack of them, they tend to slip and fall all over the place.

Re: Are price pressures easing a bit on U.S. gold coins with CAC?
No disagreement....but one thing I think we can agree on is that whenever the underlying PM makes a run -- let's say gold -- that gold coins with some numismatic value tend to really run, "jump the gun" so to speak. Every $100-$200 run is the one that is going to take gold to $2,500 or even $3,000 an ounce. :) Then… -
Re: Hello.
With silver and gold higher than normal... look at Lincoln cent, Indian Head Cent, and the Buffalo nickel series. Anything silver dollar related, that are common dates, in grades MS63, MS64, and MS65 will rise and fall with silver prices. They stand to lose if silver prices fall. Key date coins in each series are more… -
Re: Some of the most over rated baseball players of all time.
Santo.....falsely accused ? The numbers don’t lie. There is a big drop off in his production hitting at Wrigley and away from Wrigley. You basically feel that Scott Rolen is hall of fame material, because he and Santo are one in the same. Neither are hall of fame, and Santo is Graig Nettles or less if he didn’t play in… -
Re: A must have card for every Clemens collector
<< <i>Not for nothing but it is disturbing that everyone chose to make fun of this individual as opposed to trying to help or offer assistance. Who knows what their situation is, it could be a kid or someone less fortunate that may not know better. Does it really feel good to give this person a false sense of hope? >> They… -
