Re: Why would ANYONE submit this???
<< <i>Russ - wasn't your solution for haze-fighting to use crunchy SaFlip flips and no bags? >> Ursabear, Correct.

Re: Uberweird rainbow toned 1886 Morgan Dollar.
Bear, are you suggesting that Russ spend $500 to get his coin fixed? I did not know that they were still in business. I know Mr. Scheib himself passed away many years ago. Guess the franchise lives on. Congrats on your wife's car. Oh, and Russ, I like the reverse of your Morgan dollar... -

Re: Free shot at an Accented Hair set.
<< <i>Russ, I bought 1964 proof sets directly from the mint and swear they came in cello packs with manilla envelopes--what the heck is this?

Re: Are designation reviews evaluated in the holder, or cracked out?
<< <i>I know regrades are cracked out. What about designation reviews such as for deep cameo on proofs, or full bell lines on Franklins. etc?

<< <i>Here is a picture of Russ at a local show, he's not a vest pocket dealer, he's a trenchcoat dealer!!! >> I don't think that's an accurate picture of Russ. The guy in the trenchcoat is way too attractive. I define a "vest pocket dealer" as somebody who is a coin dealer on a part time basis. The connotation is not… -
Re: Should dipped coins be labeled as such on the slab?
<< <i>You place too much faith in the ability of the grading services.
