You are allowed your opinion, but a VAST MAJORITY of the people in numismatics do not feel that properly dipping a coin is damaging the coin....
ANACS gives no help to these and still grades them by the horn. I showed them some already slabbed ones as I was looking to potentially cross them...
I've seen slabbed MINT STATE examples with less horn that this one. :)
Hard to say without seeing it in person as this date/mint is largely graded by luster. Looks like a nice original VF coin.
A 1793 Chain cent (preferably Ameri. variety) with no pitting, rim bumps, and a SMOOTH planchet. At least VF condition. Like this, these just...
I dipped all of my mint medals to improve their appearance. Turned into the ugliest mess of items I have ever seen!! So what did I do about...
I'm not sure where you're getting these facts, but whoever is telling them to you, stay away from them as they are clueless. Dipping a coin...
Don't dip it. You will either not remove all the toning and have a dead looking coin or you will remove all the toning and have a dead looking...
Great details? Is it circulated? If so, don't dip it. How dark is the toning?
1) What makes you think the coin would not grade at ICG? All services have different levels of how much cleaning they will allow before...
It depends on the coin. Modern stuff in their slabs sell for nothing. They're easier on CAM/UCAM and the grading is much looser. There is no...
And the submitters would submit less to them. No reason to submit to ICG to get the same grade NGC or PCGS would give it.
If you're collecting them because you like them, who cares what he thinks. If you are buying them because you think they will go up in value,...
I'm assuming that the suggestions are basically his words and important stuff hasn't been left out. 1. Certified business strike generic gold...
Demand is dead. BU rolls are likely going to be losers. Look at where they are trading now. Slightly above face for the clad and not much above...
No. Lots of high grade examples available and few collectors.
They are 3 Kreuzer coins. The denomination is on the coins. It's the 3 in the circle. $10-$20 is about the going price for ones in these...
Bluesheet is for slabbed coins that are basically the worst of the worst. Stuff you'd buy sight unseen. Greysheet is for properly graded coins.
As has been suggested, there is no need to subscribe. Get the 7 issue package ($13.75) every few months - maybe 3-4 times a year. There is no need...
With those pictures you cannot tell ANYTHING about the coin. The lighting has prevented any marks from showing and the luster is whiped out so...
