Gosh I love this thing. Purchased from mark feld. It has beautiful semi PL surfaces and CAC stickered. (green)

I also like it because it is my oldest coin that I have, by 1 year. My other oldest is a capped bust dime, 1835.

Beat it by 1 year! Hah!

Nice coins guy's!! (thumbs u Ebay win's over the weekend, sellers images:

It says: Threat detected!

Exploit Windows Metafile CVE-2005-2124

That is pretty cool there Kevin!!! Haven't heard from ya in a while. Did you go to that ANA class?

Hi bsshog40, nice to hear from you. Yes I did, and had a great time. Got to look at lots of counterfeit gold and I was able to spot most of the dianostics on each coin! It was great. See this thread

my newest edition

pure gold vietnamese bar and a common dated buffalo nickel

Nothing amazing, but I recently picked this up at a local coin store in phoenix.

I really like it.

I'm talking about the three major and most respected TPG's, third party grading services, PCGS, NGC, and ANACS. Considering ANACS has been around since the late 70's, early 80's, do you think these companies will continue to keep up a good reputation of detecting counterfeited/altered and other problem coins throughout 20+ years from now? Do you think they will even exist at all?

With counterfeit ANACS (old style) now being made in china, how do you think this will effect PCGS and NGC's slabs in the future? Possibly in the future this may also spread to these slabs.

Will appreciate any input.

Thanks

Hello,

 

I just received a slabbed coin I bough on EBAY.

I was graded proof 69 Ultra Cameo.

There is eaither a speck of dust in the slab, a defect in the slab.or horrors,a defect in the coin. It is hard to tell even under magnification.

There is no way this coin is a 69 if the defect is in the coin.

Is there a way a slab could have been opened and resealed so a coin could be switched without leaving obvoius signs?

 

 

Thanks

Jon

Conder101 told me that there are zero instances of any modern tampered PCGS reported.(except for the rattlers)

So it's very unlikely the slab is tampered . This is what I was told with my PCGS slab: "There are very few fakes IN modern slabs. Other than the first generation Rattler slabs, there are ZERO cases of a fake modern PCGS slab known. But with fake ANACS slabs starting to come from China how much longer will that be true?

"

But this is with PCGS slabs. I'm not sure about NGC or other companies.
