A WORD ABOUT GRADING

We attempt to be extremely accurate, supported with great photography. Grading is an art, not a science. The opinion of grade for a particular item can and will vary, even among experts. Unless in a graded slab, the grades assigned are the stated opinion of the cataloguer, provided as a convenience to bidders and to assist in identifying lots which they may wish to examine themselves.

• We follow both the PCGS, ANACS, and PhotoGrade grading systems
  But we do not constrain ourselves to their limitations

• Some toning is attractive, some is not

• Sometimes the Obverse is Nice, Sometimes the Reverse is Nice

No longer will you wonder,
"why did I get an MS-63, instead of an MS-65"
