  • LOL! I agree... Most people understand that we are not professional photographers and just try. Either way, thought I'd share.
  • I'm guessing that is a SWEET 1912 but needs a better photo. You should get with FlyingAl and you'll be glad you did. It's a beauty! A client owns it. I didn't take the picture, I'm sure it could be a lot better. Thank you!
  • Monster Proof Half Eagle.

  • A new acquisition! Only 86 were produced. A total of 11 out of the 86 have received the CAC seal of approval. (1) in Proof, (5) in Cameo and (5) in Deep Cameo ONLY (2) coin in 67 Cameo - CAC. There are (3) in 67 Deep Cameo.
  • I am told they are random numbers. JA  JA, so you're not counting different numbers on you fingers and then assigning them? LOL
  • On the + issue.  I’m not a big fan but it’s already entrenched in the marketplace.  Some of the premiums seem “ok” , some are absurd.  Just my opinion. John A  Agree JA! My comments were simply on the zero support on pricing for them and if there…
  • Might be an unpopular opinion so everyone get your tomatoes ready, but I believe that one of the most significant "make or break" aspects of CACG will be the accurate designation of + grades (and all grades in general), the first time around. In m…

  • You were trying to influence CAC graders prior to this? No no no... I heard about it and wanted people to know not to try it.
  • Ok so what’s your point?
  • Here's a new one just in today, this one was facilitated try @PCAGinc and we were able to get this coin out of its previous owners hands and into mine after some back and forth. I paid a bit higher than I wanted to but the fact of the matter is that…
  • FWIW, my private deal with Simpson didn't cause Laura/Legend to lose any cut. Simpson already decided to go with Heritage over Legend before I was involved. And the deal was negotiated through Heritage, so I would assume Heritage still go their cut …
  • On that note, see new thread about to start ~~~~ Are you starting a new thread or are you suggesting I do one because I can.
  • I should have been more clear but look at the great discussion... At least that is something cool, no?
  • Have they added a buy/sell/trade thread yet? If so, where can we look at it?
  • @johnFeigenbaum Will the new CAC grading recognize the (+) designation and will there be support on the Grey sheet for this? Dealing with the general public and trying to explain the (+) and increase in price is difficult to those who aren't deep i…

  • If the J-1776 had just one tenth the marketing behind it that the SP66 1794 $1 has had behind it from the last couple owners I think it would be much more widely known and appreciated. Even without the additional marketing, the J-1776 is the coin fo…
  • WOW! Love this discussion. When it comes to gold coins, many discount the 1838 Proof Eagle and always reference the 1804 Plain 4 proof. Even though it's a re-strike and produced in 1834. While it's no doubt an amazing coin, the 1838 is rarer and…
  • Like you said, it's something the dealers can work out and not something the collector should worry about. Also, I feel like some dealers are a bit too possessive about their clients. Clients don't sign exclusive agreements with dealers, so not sur…
  • LOL. Let's bring this back on topic now. I posted this in the PCGS forum but I figure this is worth a repost here since it's a situation similar to what @Legend is accusing me of here. This is the story of how I got my 1927-D coin. In 2021 when I …
  • “Lifelong practitioner of Festivus”… @john, I’m dying 🤣🤣🤣. Rest assured that your comedic brilliance is not lost on me. We really need an “lol” button! That is a very nice comment and thank you. I have wondered from time to time if I was a bit an…
  • Also as far as I know, it would not have been possible to work out a deal for the coin through you. This is because Simpson already had a deal with Heritage in place. Simpson contractually cannot sell the coin without Heritage involved. So it's quit…
  • 1921 was an interesting year at the mint, but apparently poorly documented or records have been lost or destroyed. Not to throw this thread too far off track, but I have a “stone cold proof” 1921 Peace Dollar that only NGC will call proof- PCGS call…
  • I love this discussion. So many opinions and great information. Keep adding to this post. The 1933 is obviously a GREAT coin, no doubt!!! What I love about this discussion is how everyone is explaining their opinion and they all are justified.
