produce a MS70 coin.
The planchet must be perfect.
The upsetting process must be perfect and not damage the planchet.
The die must be perfect.
The strike must be perfect - a full strike is an obvious requirement
but there can be no...

Dansco slip cases, do they make a difference? by
Jon Purkey
I am planning to buy some coin ablums. Mostly likely they will be
Dansco since I like the quality of their albums and I like being able

I have a good feeling about DGS coin grading, through I have not seen
any of their coins yet, except the few they post online. I really like
how they are innovative and seem really concerned about doing the
right thing.

How much do the silver & gold American Eagles asking price change with
the price of the metal? I see mid 90’s silver eagles in the original
box with certificate going for around $35, if silver dropped does the
