Anything more about the ANA's plan to certify the graders at PCGS, NGC etc. Is it still a "go" or been put on the back burner?

This is the type of post that some would say requires an FA prefix in the subject line, since it pertains to one of my ongoing auctions, but the purpose of my post is to address a numismatic consideration or two. This morning, I received this question for seller; "Hi,I wondering if any of the...

After three years of purchasing mostly-slabbed coins over the internet, I've ventured into buying raw coins. Scary and to tell the truth the results have been not so good overall. It's too easy for some sellers to overlook problems with the coins, post misleading photos, etc. There is a seller I...

Some of the designs of the statehood quarters are impacted more than others by wear, IMO. For instance, the NY quarter looks like hell after a few trips through the slots, but the CT issue looks good to me no matter how much wear it encounters.

I just acquired an odd token. It was listed as "possibly communion" but doesn't really look like any communion tokens I've seen. It also has some similarities to wedding tokens, but isn't quite like any I've seen. If anyone knows anything about it, I would be very interested to know (link to...

Bill, be suspicious of all rainbow toned coins. You don't have to be an A+ student in chemistry to create a rainbow toned coin and get it slabbed. I'm not a dealer or seller of rainbow toned coins that's why I'm telling you how it is. People who sell rainbow toned coins will tell you a different...

Down at my flea market today I had the chance to talk with some of the guys there who sell coins. They had a BEAUT of an 1884-S in MS64 going for $90,000. I dont have a redbook near me, only the PCGS price guide to go by. How many of these were minted? The price for this coin in any MS-60+...
