@markapsolon Apparently you didn't read the Wikipedia article nor fully grasp what LiesandTruthDetector posted. - He clearly said ALL grading services were off. Also, the "big three" are being cleverly counterfeited because they realize that some collectors such as yourself seem to prioritize blind faith in them. Counterfeit coins are showing up in authentic holders - Nine of the same counterfeit 1796 Quarters, each with the exact same flaws, have shown up in PCGS, NGC and ANACS slabs.

@LiesAndTruthDetector - It's not surprising that with this video's sweeping generalizations, that it's gotten 15 thumbs down already.

The last president that is going to be on the dollar is Reagan. Unless one of the living ones die before 2014.

@Gold777Silver wikipedia is not a really good website to get information from. they've been known to lie.

I like bidding on ebay

[xRedxComet]

Hey everyone check ebay in the next few days and look for bi-centinial mint coins and u will find an excellent find

There's only one coin dealer within a few miles from me and the guy is a real asshole. He'll charge you $25 for him to give you advise! The next nearest coin dealer is almost 3 hours away. So my collection has been coming from online from the major known dealers, what sucks about that is they're always more expensive and also shipping fees. It's a little discouraging sometimes.
