When you crack open a slab then wash the coins with soap, should that coin be returned to the slab? Shouldn't have to be re-graded since it is...
They probably realized they were losing too much business to companies that were more than that like Amazon. Amazon has an A-Z guarantee so if I...
I think it is alright to clean coins if the choice is between that or leaving something on the coin that can cause damage. I know someone said...
Yes, large date. That is obviously some sort of mark across the bottom of the loop of the nine. I am surprised there was no 1970s small date in...
On my coin though, the 9 doesn't point down to the mintmark. It curves around although it looks bent but I don't know if that is something else...
Yes, I look at them. This one is a little hard to tell because the loop of the nine appears bent.
[ATTACH][ATTACH] I know this is a common topic but this penny above has me a little confused. It looks like the 9 loops around. Can anyone tell...
I don't think that there is anything wrong with strategically marketing your coins on Ebay but I have read a member having an issue with a coin...

[ATTACH] I would not agree with these comments though. I see coins with hits grade all of the time and it is a circulated coin and would not...
I can't really say what NGC would consider sever or unattractive. To be honest I did notice a surface issue and dropped my minimum ask price of...
Yes, you can do this easily with Photoshop with a 2010 on dime and an 1995 dime.
Has anyone tried distilled water mixed with a small amount of baking soda to neutralizing verdigris? I was at a show and sold some wheats while I...
I'll just stick it an air-tight. If it get's worse I will have to do something about it. I don't think alcohol causes any damage to copper but...
I have several of these that someone found they stashed away. They got them when they visited Mexico 20 years ago. I have a couple of the $500...
[ATTACH] I am wondering about verdigris on coins. How much is acceptable before removal is warrranted or is it best to remove it before it gets...
Sure, I call V Nickels that are missing part of the "I" VG 11 since they are not quite F12 but better than VG-10.
I know I read something about corrosion at the NGC web site, http://www.ngccoin.com/details/environmental-effects.aspx. It states that if the...
Sure, we are talking about Ebay here. People here use numeric grades all the time and have coins bought previously with numeric grades that most...
