This is a modern unmarked proof restrike, not an original.
Give it another acetone bath, and then remove it from the acetone and immediately rinse it with distilled water. That will remove those splotches.
Die breaks don't and shouldn't impact the grade. The coin is as struck.
So there is no issue with someone putting a sticker on a slab noting the variety, however, this sticker is clearly designed to not look out of...
Ma-shops has a lot of nice Hungarian material, and there are two major auction houses that deal in Hungarian coins: Nudelman Numismatica and...
A lovely example, congrats. I have not seen any particular scarcity of this issue, even in uncirculated grades, above what would be suggested by...
If this happens, I'm going to attend. Might be the only big show to happen all year.
There are no original proofs. The proofs are the restrikes. An impaired proof is one that has been mishandled - not a details coin, but hairlined....
That one looks original to me, but cleaned.
Yes, this is absolutely accurate for how the PL/DMPL designations are assessed for Morgan dollars by both NGC and PCGS. A year/mm that is known...
Tough one. I'm leaning toward it being a dipped original. It could be an impaired proof. What's the weight?
Yes but, I mean, we all know these RD coins are not showing original copper color. That red color is toning, it's just not dark toning. Do you not...
What you're describing is normal for xylene. What I like to do is rinse the coin with distilled water after and then let it air dry. No need to do...
A couple Hungarian patterns I picked up over the last couple weeks: Hungary 1990BP 100 Forint (András Fáy) Pattern Nickel-Brass Adamo EME29...
I've had some really good cherrypicks, but this one was my best. An 1867A coronation 1 3/4 ducat for the coronation of Franz Joseph I. It's an...
It's got mottled varnish. Whatever is underneath is not going to be worse than the varnish itself! We're not talking about removing toning here...
Details for sure. Also, NGC is very conservative with world coin grading.
I would add to this, errors are an advanced specialty. Not for beginners at all.
Wait, is there something wrong with video games? Also, the coin features pong as a significant innovation, which it is. This game led to real time...
!!!!! NH-03 is the only attractive design.
