  1. When the last PCGS baad didn't work we get this 'new name' where PCGS and NGC, now merged together, and both are committed to ruin this guy's life. Personally, I believe this one is intentionally submitting counterfeit coins in an effort to "pull one over" and get a payday. If I were NGC I'd get the Legal Team on this guy.
  2. Kitco shows Silver at: $25.95 Bid $26.05 Ask with a 0.13 + change. 2021 American Silver Eagle (Unc) at Pinehurst for $38.68. Not for me.
  3. I do hope we get the 'INSIDE' information on this coin.
  4. My oh my; another new member. How many does that make this month? Wow, no more 'Sleepy Hollow', eh?
  5. Just have a look at CC Trade Dollars on EBay. I can only describe it as sheer madness.
  6. In my defense all I can says is: I was a teenager and still at that age where I believed adults were beyond reproach. I sure have learned better. Some coin and antique dealers get real mad at me when I won't sell at their crazy low prices. Now I say NO only once and then I am gone.
  7. I was young in those days and didn't know no better. I have learned.
  8. Did the job Oswald wanted; didn't it?
  9. No one should feel down about making a mistake. We all have been taken in once, or more times, in our life. Mine wasn't coins; I had learned prior to collecting those Got 'had' when I was younger and collecting American Civil War items. Bought a model 1861 Springfield Rifled Musket. I really wanted to inspect this closer but the seller wouldn't let me disassemble the weapon. Paid a heft price (in those days) for it. No returns and no refunds and prior to EBay. Happens to us all. About this musket I held so tight Many books on this I had read Took the barrel off and turned it over “Made in Italy” was all it said
  10. Some old Pennsylvania newspapers from the Revolutionary War period that I purchased from a guy on EBay were very legible. And interesting too.
  11. Correct but over the years the past copies were eventually sold off. There is one (or more) EBay dealers who sell only old copies of newspapers dating as far back as far as pre-Revolutionary War periods.
  12. Labels on coin slabs are no different than labels on canned soup. They are designed hopefully to attract the consumer to buy the product. The problem with coin labels is: different labels means a different price; but then that applies to canned soup also.
  13. the pictures look the same but the names have been changed to protect the 'innocent'.
  14. Listen up guys. EBay USED to be the place for coins and currency - years ago. Now EBay is mostly the junk dealers are trying to get rid off. When you click Buy It Now and you see an 1880 Morgan Dollar low for $40.00 and by the time you get to the end of the list it's $300.00! If I see a coin on EBay and check it's B.I.N. price chances are good that I can get a better looking (eye appeal) coin and at less money expended from a nationally know dealer. I have not bought from EBay (coins) in quite a while.
  15. Okay, but there's more than one way to "pay" for publicity. But, who cares. NGC got their share this week. Everybody is happy.
  16. Yep! PCGS Certifies Ultra-Rare 1933 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle Gold Coin April 8, 2021 PCGS.com - coinweek.com - thedailycoin.org - greysheet.com - etc.
  17. I agree Just Bob. This one is so famous it doesn't need a slab advertisement. What the future owner(s) decide maybe a different story.
  18. Also agree with JustBob on that 18 and 19. If not doesn't matter. There is still the age to consider. 100 years for both. Aged coins always interest me.
