I ordered a coin from a dealer in Canada on 12/22/10. He claims it was sent Express Mail Registered and supplied a tracking #. Although he claims he sent it on the 23rd, the tracking # indicates it was the 27th - so either he's lying or Canada Post is lying. The tracking # indicates the package...

I'm shooting to complete my set of 1/10oz $5 American Gold Eagle proofs.

There was a thread that I loosely interpret as essentially stating or intimating that CAC is around to protect buyers from buying the bottom 5% of the coins out there in holders. Do you really believe that only the bottom 5% of the coin are either overgraded or more importantly ugly....coins that...

Someone asked on the PCGS message board whether the CAC "green bean" stickers could ever be removed and transferred to another slab. I replied that a hair dryer and razor blade would remove most any kind of security sticker, and never rely on a security device alone to verify authenticity. That's...

Precious metals tanked again today for the 3rd day in a row. Hope you sold a few days ago...or are waiting for the roller coaster to go back up again. Jud -Still holding on, possibly foolishly-

I understand that they changed from being completely silver to some other metal. But when did it happen? Alan

In the January 2011 Coin World edition is a story about CU suing some dealer/dealers for producing and selling counterfeit coins in counterfeit holders. Does this involve the coin doctors as well, or is this another scam targeting PCGS, entirely unrelated to the coin doctoring lawsuit?

They are legitimate slabs used for special Home Shopping Network promotions of generic-type modern coins, according to Condor101, who keeps a running history of slab types. Here is a photo of some known to be genuine, with the same slab...

I found an old half dollar in a coin roll recently. It is a seated liberty version and is in not bad shape at all really. I am thinking either grandpas collection got raided by a kid or maybe even stolen but part of me thinks it is a fake coin. What will a coin dealer do to authenticate the coin...

Three anonymous first-time posters to RCC just post pro-PCGS messages. This follows a fair amount of posts by real posters that shed negative light on PCGS. These posts discussed a judge tossing out PCGS's lawsuit against alleged coin doctors, with the take-home message that it's PCGS's job to...

Hooray for PCGS...the genius of David Hall has made so many improvements in the coin industry in 2010...here are my favorites: 1. CoinFacts--I am using it more and more as a reference, especially prior to making coin purchases. It started a bit awkward and clunky and could probably still use...
