All the problematic posts were removed. But when I made that post, pretty much everybody was currently online and posting replies faster than I...
There was a time when the only way to get a GSA coin graded was to remove it from the original plastic holder and send it in to the TPG. Then they...
Enough ! And all of you know what I'm talking about.
Acetone will have no effect on that, it won't remove any of it. Verdi-Care is the only thing that will have any effect on it, and even Verdi-Care...
Well, yeaaaah. But that's just because he was forgetting our motto - the difficult we do immediately, the impossible just takes a little longer :)
:stop: Geez Mike ! :jawdrop: And you promised you weren't gonna start rumors about you and I starting a new TPG ! :rolleyes:
@mpcusa Now that the thread has progressed, it seems that this is the real question you want answered. As a general rule, is playing the...
For as long as the 2 TPGs - NGC, PCGS - have existed that same basic question has been asked and debated so many times that not only is the horse...
Gotta go with the idea that AT is far and away the least problematic. Artificial toning can be easily and safely be dipped away in 1 second by...

The theory you're talking about is correct, but definitely not those numbers, it's a good many more than that. Some estimates have been 500-600...
C'mon now Noodle, you know as well as I do that it often depends on how fast Frank shows up. But at his age and all, well we kinda gotta cut him...
It seems we remember things a bit differently about the advent of market grading. The ANA meetings and discussions about the new grading system...
Back then, and it's not much different today, Altered Surfaces was a kind of "catch all" term used to cover several different problems that...
Afraid we shall have to agree to disagree that it's nonsense Mike. The ANA did invent, create, originate, (choose your own word), market grading....
Now that we've seen the new pics of it I readily agree with that. You should also be aware that planchet flaws, when deemed to be severe enough,...
I disagree. That is merely an area that has not toned as the rest of the coin. Which really doesn't mean much of anything. It's just the way...
Separate names with a comma.
